Shotgun
Journey of Love and Loss: Shotgun's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, oh
Expressing affirmation and agreement.
Oh, yeah, oh
Reaffirmation of affirmation and agreement.
Hey, yeah, yeah, oh
An enthusiastic expression.
You use to say forever, you and I
Recollection of a past promise of enduring commitment.
At night, it was just you and me
Reminiscing about intimate moments shared together.
And even though you lied I know the truth
Recognition of deception despite knowing the truth.
Now I can count the many, many times, you said
Highlighting the repetition of "I love you" despite deceit.
That you love only me, so baby that's the reason why we lose
Expressing that the deception led to the loss of the relationship.
And if you only knew how I feel, I'd stay, even though I was hurt
Willingness to endure pain for the sake of the relationship.
But baby I am good with the pain
Acceptance of enduring emotional pain.
Shotgun, always
Metaphorical reference to being a constant companion, always present.
Even though my heart, it aches
Acknowledgment of heartache despite the commitment to be present.
Beside you in this world isn't enough
Expressing inadequacy in the current relationship.
Were we meant to exist in another world of love?
Questioning if their love was meant for a different, better place.
I'm dreaming of a perfect world with you, and I
Imagining an idealized world shared with the partner.
Just you and me, no one else around to take our love
Desiring exclusivity in love without external interference.
I slept in your car to learn of you, and I
Symbolic reference to a close connection, even in vulnerable situations.
Now I live to believe, that maybe there is less to love than lust
Contemplating if there's more to the relationship than physical desire.
I wonder if my faith's enough to bring, us alive, slipping away
Questioning if faith alone can revive the relationship slipping away.
But slipping doesn't mean I can't deny
Admitting the difficulty in denying the slipping away of the relationship.
Just take me on a journey to your heart, to lie
Desire to explore the depths of the partner's emotions and intentions.
Don't care where we go
Willingness to go anywhere as long as it's with the partner.
Even though we're lost, I'm down to ride
Acceptance of being lost but committed to the journey with the partner.
Shotgun, always
Reiteration of being a constant presence despite heartache.
Even though my heart, it aches
Recognition of ongoing heartache despite commitment.
Baby, beside you in this world isn't enough
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the relationship.
Were we made to exist in another world of love?
Contemplation on whether their love was destined for a better place.
