guilty
22.22 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all I've got is time.Running around in circles, just to find that peace of mind.
And you know I'm gonna get what's mine.I've lost touch, too much sympathy.
Follow me, don't bother me.Fragments of each sentence representing anything I think.
And still I try to smile, and still I try to laugh. And still I'll never change, I'm stuck here studying the past.
So count me in. No, count me out, because it happened again.
It could've been. Should've been. Would've been different. It could've been.
It could've been different if the frgaments of each sentence were reminiscent of a sing-along song I sang so long ago.
And still I try to smile, and still I try to laugh, just to find that peace of mind.
And you know I'm gonna get what's mine.
So count me in.
No, count me out, because it happened again.
Forget about apologies, I'm not a sorry kid. So sing along with me. Same song we used to sing.
It could've been. Should've been. Would've been different. It could've been.
The lyrics to 22.22's "Guilty" seem to convey a sense of regret and nostalgia for a time when things could have been different. The line "It could've been different if I sang the song so long ago" suggests that the singer may be reflecting on missed opportunities or moments they wish they could have altered. However, despite this sense of longing for change, the singer seems resigned to their current situation, feeling "stuck in slow motion again" and "studying the past." They search for peace of mind, but seem to be running in circles without finding it.
The repetition of the phrase "It could've been. Should've been. Would've been different" emphasizes the singer's regret and the sense that they are trapped in their current circumstances. However, they also express a determination to "get what's mine" and a refusal to apologize or be sorry for who they are. The suggestion to "sing along with me. Same song we used to sing" creates a feeling of community and shared experience, as if the singer and their listeners are all united by the same nostalgic longing for a simpler time.
Overall, the lyrics to "Guilty" seem to convey a complex mix of emotions, including regret, determination, nostalgia, and a search for peace of mind. The repetition of certain phrases and motifs throughout the song adds to the sense of circularity and the feeling of being trapped in a repeating cycle.
