The Door
Betrayed Melodies: Unveiling Deceit in Triana Akila's 'The Door'
Lyrics
Here I was thinking it was me
Reflecting on a situation, initially thinking it was a personal fault.
When you've been lying all along
Realization that the other person has been dishonest throughout.
Got a whole nother life
Discovering a hidden life of the other person.
I knew nothing about
Realizing lack of knowledge about a significant aspect of the other person.
You made it seem like it was my fault
Blaming the narrator for something that was not their fault.
Then you got found out
Discovery of the truth about the other person.
You almost had me
Almost falling for deception.
But this ends now
Decisive declaration to end the situation.
You put on a good show but
Acknowledging the other person's ability to deceive convincingly.
Now you gotta go
Insisting on the other person leaving the narrator's life.
Get out of my life
Explicitly pointing to the exit, emphasizing the need for departure.
There's the door
Mentioning the symbolic door as a representation of exit.
You can let it hit ya
Suggesting the other person can leave without interference.
You can let it hit ya
-I guess you're still the same guy
Expressing disappointment that the other person hasn't changed as claimed.
That you claimed you'd left behind
Affirming that the other person retained negative qualities.
You tried so hard to prove you were a nice guy
Recalling the other person's effort to prove a positive image.
But that could only last for so long
Highlighting the temporary nature of the positive facade.
Till the truth came out
Acknowledging the eventual revelation of the truth.
You can keep your excuses
Rejecting the validity of the other person's excuses.
I can do without
Expressing independence from the other person's justifications.
How did we get here
Pondering how the situation reached this point.
I know I'm not perfect
Admitting personal imperfections.
But I don't deserve this
Expressing that the narrator does not deserve the situation.
All you had to do was tell the truth
Stating that honesty could have prevented the current predicament.
But you wanted to have your cake
Accusing the other person of wanting contradictory benefits.
And eat it too
Describing the other person's desire for both deceit and self-indulgence.
You put on a good show but
Reiterating the other person's skill in deception.
Now you gotta go
Insisting on the other person leaving the narrator's life.
Get out of my life
-Get out of my life
Emphasizing the need for departure once again.
You put on a good show but
Repeating acknowledgment of the other person's deceptive performance.
Now you gotta go
Reiterating the demand for the other person to leave.
Get out of my life
-There's the door
Pointing to the symbolic door, reinforcing the idea of departure.
You can let it hit ya
-You can let it hit ya
-You can let it hit ya
-You can let it hit ya
Repeating the suggestion that the other person can leave without interference.
