Delilah
Love's Betrayal: Unraveling the Tale of Delilah's Deception
Lyrics
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I noticed a light when passing by her window at night.
I saw the flickering shadow of love on her blind
I observed the uncertain presence of love in her life, symbolized by a flickering shadow on her blinds.
She was my woman
She was my romantic partner.
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
As she betrayed me, I witnessed her actions, causing me emotional distress.
My my my Delilah
Expressing a sense of personal connection, addressing Delilah.
Why why why Delilah
Pose questioning and distress about Delilah's actions.
I could see, that girl was no good for me
Realization that the girl was not a positive influence in the speaker's life.
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
Feeling lost and trapped, like a slave without freedom.
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
Waiting for an opportunity, possibly when the other man left.
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
The speaker approached her house after the man departed, and she welcomed him in.
She stood there laughing
Delilah's laughter, possibly mocking or deceitful.
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
The speaker, feeling betrayed, took action with a knife, silencing Delilah.
My my my Delilah
Repeating the connection to Delilah, expressing the personal impact of the situation.
Why why why Delilah
Continuing the questioning and distress regarding Delilah's actions.
So before they come to break down the door
A plea for forgiveness before potential consequences.
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Expressing regret and inability to endure further pain.
She stood there laughing
Reiteration of Delilah's laughter and the speaker's drastic response.
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
Repeating the knife incident and its impact on Delilah's laughter.
My my my Delilah
Reaffirming the personal connection and impact of the situation on the speaker.
Why why why Delilah
Continuing the questioning and distress regarding Delilah's actions.
So before they come to break down the door
A plea for forgiveness before potential consequences, similar to line 15.
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Expressing regret and inability to endure further pain, similar to line 16.
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Repeating the plea for forgiveness and the speaker's inability to endure more pain, reinforcing the emotional turmoil.
