Blissfully Innocent
Unveiling Hidden Shadows: The Dichotomy of Blissfully Innocent
Lyrics
You'd leave me if you knew
You would leave me if you knew the true nature of who I am
The way I really was
Describing the real self, suggesting it's not favorable
So it's a good thing you don't
It's fortunate that you are unaware of my true self
And I'd hate me if I faced
If confronted with my actions, I would despise myself
The things I'd truly done
Avoiding facing the true consequences of past deeds
So it's a good thing I won't
It's beneficial that I won't confront my own actions
You'd say guilt could only
Claiming guilt only exists if one is guilty
Happen if you're guilty
Suggesting a hint of wrongdoing but denying guilt
Got a little dirt on me but
Admitting to some flaws or imperfections
Oh, you'll never know I'm filthy
Asserting that these imperfections are kept hidden
No you won't
Emphasizing the concealment of true nature
Am I blissfully ignorant or
Pondering if unawareness brings happiness or innocence
Blissfully innocent
Questioning whether ignorance equals innocence
Sweet eyes of blue
Describing physical features, possibly metaphorical
And hands of red, vision blurred
Indicating a mix of positive and negative qualities
Some things are better
Suggesting some things are better left unsaid
Left unsaid and unheard
Emphasizing the power of silence and secrecy
I'll be your gift-horse
Offering oneself as a gift despite potential flaws
If you look in my eyes
Inviting the listener to look into their eyes for honesty
Don't look away
Urging not to look away, as there's nothing to hide
Though, I have nothing to hide
Claiming transparency despite a potentially dark past
Do you not trust me?
Questioning the listener's trust in the speaker
Baby, that really kills
Expressing the emotional impact of a lack of trust
Fine, I'll forgive you
Offering forgiveness, possibly conditional
Then you'll stay for the thrills
Suggesting excitement or engagement after forgiveness
Because
You'd leave me if you
Repeating the fear of being abandoned if true self is known
Knew the way I really was
Highlighting the benefit of the listener's ignorance
So it's a good thing you don't
Reiterating the avoidance of facing personal actions
And I'd hate me if I faced
Expressing self-hatred if confronted with past deeds
The things I'd truly done
Avoiding the acknowledgment of one's true actions
So it's a good thing I won't
Emphasizing the intentional avoidance of self-reflection
You'd say guilt could only
Repeating the idea that guilt only exists with guilt
Happen if you're guilty
Reiterating a hint of guilt while denying it
Got a little dirt on me but
Admitting to having some imperfections or secrets
Oh, you'll never know I'm filthy
Asserting that the listener will never truly know the speaker's flaws
No you won't
Emphasizing the secrecy of the speaker's true nature
Am I blissfully ignorant or
Pondering whether ignorance equals happiness or innocence
Blissfully innocent
Questioning if the speaker is blissfully ignorant or innocent
