Shane
Shane's Lament: Escape from Deception
Lyrics
They'll shine a light in your eyes
There will be scrutiny and attention focused on you.
They'll set you up with their lies, sweet lies
They will deceive you with charming falsehoods.
Shane, if you leave me, they'll hurt you believe me
Addressing someone named Shane, warning that leaving will result in harm.
And something inside you will die-
A part of you will suffer consequences if you choose to depart.
I know the reason you bleed
Understanding the source of emotional pain or vulnerability.
I understand what you need, and you need me
Acknowledging and offering what is needed, asserting indispensability.
Babe, I can help you, think of nights that I held you
Expressing the ability to provide assistance and recalling shared intimate moments.
And only I can make you sleep
Claiming exclusive capacity to bring comfort and solace.
Shane, Shane, no one will hide you
Reassurance that no one will conceal or protect Shane like the speaker.
Like the one that cries your name-
Comparing the emotional impact to someone crying out Shane's name.
Shane nobody wants you
Stating that nobody desires Shane.
Like the one that haunts your dreams
Comparing the level of unwanted attention to haunting dreams.
I know the voices you hear
Claiming knowledge of the inner struggles Shane faces.
I know the secrets you fear
Acknowledging awareness of hidden fears and anxieties.
Dreams that will wake you, faces that shake you
Describing unsettling dreams and faces that will disturb Shane.
Remember that I've always been near
Reminding Shane of the speaker's constant proximity and support.
Forget the love that I gave you
Encouraging Shane to forget past love and protection.
Forget the child that I saved
Suggesting forgetfulness of past vulnerabilities and rescues.
Only I know your heartbeat, only I know your backstreets
Claiming exclusive knowledge of Shane's essence and hidden aspects.
And only I can take you away
Asserting exclusive capability to take Shane away from current troubles.
