Trust Shattered: The Pain of Unheard Cries in 'Crywolfe'
Lyrics
I've cried wolf one too many times
I have falsely alarmed others too often.
Now no one will believe me and my supposed lies
Due to my past actions, people don't believe me anymore, thinking I am lying.
I never really meant to demoralize
I didn't intend to weaken or discourage anyone.
But they sought otherwise through my many cries
Despite my intentions, others perceived negativity in my frequent warnings.
Something on your mind, cause I think I could tell
You seem preoccupied, and I sense something is bothering you.
Nevermind that, such pittance to dwell
Disregard that, it's insignificant to dwell on trivial matters.
I've cried wolf one too many times
Reiteration of the theme that I've falsely cried wolf multiple times.
Now no one will believe me and my supposed lies
Continuation, emphasizing the loss of credibility due to repeated false alarms.
None will ever believe me
No one will trust or have faith in what I say.
(And it hurts)
Expressing emotional pain caused by the lack of belief from others.
None will ever believe me
Repetition of the theme that nobody believes the speaker, causing emotional distress.
I swear on my father and mother but none will believe me
Pledging honesty by invoking the sincerity of one's parents, yet still facing disbelief.
(And it hurts)
Reiteration of the emotional pain stemming from the constant lack of belief.
Self-doubting now, I have now accepted their reality
Acceptance of the reality that self-doubt has taken root due to others' disbelief.
One day that big bad wolf will come
Anticipating a future situation where a significant threat or danger will be ignored.
Metaphorically speaking and its sharp claws
Symbolic reference to a dangerous force with sharp claws, possibly representing a serious issue.
I gave up on trying, no use for a plea
Abandoning efforts to seek help or intervention, as pleas seem futile.
But it doesn't matter now because none will believe me
Despite the impending threat, nobody will believe the speaker.
And it hurts
Reiteration of the emotional pain caused by the lack of belief.
Why take me for granted?
Questioning why the speaker is taken for granted or not valued.
Why ever take me
Asking why the speaker is not appreciated or acknowledged.
For granted?
Repeating the sentiment of feeling undervalued and overlooked.
This escalation of an accusation thought to be falsification
Describing the escalation of an accusation previously thought to be false, leading to humiliation.
Humilation
Expressing the emotional pain caused by humiliation.
It hurts
Reiterating the emotional distress experienced.
Because I've managed to hear something through the grapevine
Discovering information indirectly, causing emotional pain.
And it hurts me
Expressing the emotional hurt caused by the newfound information.
And it hurts
Reiteration of the emotional pain experienced.
But I'm starting to believe what they see in me
Beginning to believe the negative perceptions others have about the speaker.
Too focused on the problems and what not the criticize
Focusing too much on personal problems and neglecting constructive criticism.
Maybe you shouldn't ever trust the man who cries wolf
Advising against trusting someone who frequently makes false alarms.
Maybe you shouldn't trust the man who cries one too many times
Reinforcing the idea of not trusting someone who cries wolf too many times.
Why ever take
Repeating the question about being taken for granted.
Why ever take me
Reiterating the plea not to be taken for granted.
For granted?
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting to be undervalued or ignored.
