I Could Be Wrong
Navigating Doubt: Unraveling Beliefs in The Deadbeat Cousins' 'I Could Be Wrong'
Lyrics
There's a cold in the air now
There is a noticeable chill in the atmosphere.
It's gettin' harder to breathe
The difficulty in breathing is increasing.
And it's easy to question
It's easy to doubt or question things that are not visible.
The things you can't see
Expressing uncertainty about intangible aspects of life.
I make my own choices
Asserting independence in decision-making.
I'm done singing your songs
Rejecting conformity or compliance with someone else's ideas.
Well, I thought I heard shufflin' on the rooftop and voices
Suspecting unusual activity, possibly related to festivities.
But I could be wrong
Admitting the possibility of being mistaken.
I could be wrong
Repeating acknowledgment of potential error.
And I could be crazy
Acknowledging the possibility of being perceived as irrational.
I've been a believer for so long
Having been a believer in something for an extended period.
But I could be wrong
Reiterating the admission of potential fallibility.
They say there's two types of people
Describing different outcomes for different individuals.
Some get presents, some get coal
Referring to the traditional idea of rewards and punishments.
Yeah, the big man, he's comin' down the chimney tonight
Expressing uncertainty about a significant event.
Or this whole thing's a hoax
Raising the possibility of a deceptive situation.
I could be wrong
Repeating the acknowledgment of potential error or uncertainty.
And I could be crazy
Reiterating the acknowledgment of potential irrationality.
I've been a believer for so long
Reflecting on a long-standing belief, considering the possibility of error.
But I could be wrong
Repeating the acknowledgment of potential fallibility.
All the kid's are saying it's a parent (Apparent)
Referring to a popular belief that parents are responsible for gifts.
Who's putting presents underneath our tree
Expressing uncertainty about the origin of gifts under the tree.
I guess it's all about your perspective
Highlighting the role of perspective in shaping beliefs.
When you only see what you choose to believe
Suggesting a selective belief in what one chooses to see.
Well I could be wrong
Repeating the acknowledgment of potential error or uncertainty.
And I could be crazy
Reiterating the acknowledgment of potential irrationality.
I've been a believer for so long
Expressing a long-standing belief in something or someone.
But I could be wrong
Repeating the acknowledgment of potential fallibility.
Yeah, I could be wrong
Repeating acknowledgment of the possibility of being mistaken.
And I could be crazy
Repeating acknowledgment of potential irrationality.
I've been a believer in you for so long
Having been a believer in someone or something for an extended period.
But I could be wrong
Reiterating the admission of potential fallibility.
I could be wrong
Repeating acknowledgment of potential error.
I could be wrong
Final repetition of the acknowledgment of potential fallibility or uncertainty.
