Betrayal's Melody: Unveiling the Heartbreak in Simon Jacobs' 'Joshua Says'
Lyrics
In a world that's always changing
In a constantly changing world
Turning round and rearranging
Describing the ongoing transformations
We need a shoulder we can cry on
Expressing the need for emotional support
Someone to hold on, to rely on
Seeking someone reliable to lean on
Maybe I'm naïve
Suggesting innocence or lack of experience
I didn't think you would ever leave
Surprised by someone leaving, possibly due to deceit
You flatter to deceive and then you're gone
Accusing someone of misleading and then disappearing
When my life began to crack
Referring to a personal crisis
And then the train came off the track
Describing a significant disruption in life
I didn't think you would turn your back
Expressing disbelief at someone abandoning
I was wrong
Admitting a misjudgment
I've been shot down by friendly fire
Feeling betrayed by someone considered an ally
Blown away in my darkest hour
Experiencing a profound setback in difficult times
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Questioning the loyalty of supposed friends
I've been shot down by friendly fire
Reiterating the feeling of betrayal
In the theatre of war
Metaphorically depicting life as a war
We don't know what we're fighting for
Highlighting the confusion and lack of purpose in conflict
There's nothing left to gain
Pointing out the futility of the struggle
When your friends and your enemies
Blurring the lines between friends and foes
They all look the same
Emphasizing the difficulty in distinguishing between them
I didn't realise
Realizing an unexpected attack
You would open fire that way
Expressing surprise at being targeted
I didn't realise I was the prey
Discovering oneself as the victim
Maybe I'm naïve
Repeating the theme of innocence or lack of foresight
I didn't think you would ever leave
Reiterating the disbelief at someone leaving
Thought that you would stay
Expecting someone to stay but they don't
I've been shot down by friendly fire
Reflecting on being betrayed by friendly actions
Blown away in my darkest hour
Experiencing a significant setback during tough times
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Questioning the value of friends who betray
I've been shot down by friendly fire
Reaffirming the feeling of being let down by friends
I've been shot down by friendly fire
Recalling the experience of betrayal
Blown away in my darkest hour
Describing a profound setback during a challenging period
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Reiterating the questioning of the value of friends
I've been shot down by friendly fire
Summarizing the impact of betrayal by supposed allies
