Verona the Hellcat
Allan Rayman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to hide the dark side
You say I changed
You give up, you're done
But this ain't new to me
I thought you could be the one who loved my ugly
Lucky, lucky girl, thought I found someone who loved me
Monsters and all
Thought I could do it
Met the girl of my dreams
Where she gone? Was gettin used to her
Tell the truth, something going on
She just wanna say my name to the ceiling, no, no
She ain't the same little girl that her mama raised, no
She got a couple faces I don't recognize
She been around these places I don't recognize
Where you from, girl? Where you coming from?
What kind of angle are you working on?
Where you from, girl? Where you coming from?
What kind of angle are you working on? Oh
Said I'm a fucking nobody, no good attitude kind of guy
Thought you knew that
Oh, you seem to be the downright good girl
Wild side only when the drink is right, whoa
Well only when the drink is right, oh-oh
Well, only when the drink is right
I can't do it no more
I can't do it no more
Said I can't do it no more
No, no oh
Two faced, I am with you, babe
One man in love, one man insane
Two faced, I am with you, babe
One man in love, one man insane
I think I've been away a bit too long sometimes
I think I've gone just a bit too far sometimes
I don't really like to talk
Sounds like I like to talk sometimes
How I come across sometimes
But when I leave the house
I'm never on my own
And even when I'm on my own sometimes
Voices in my head sometimes
I never know
Well, I don't know my role sometimes
Well, I don't know my soul sometimes
I let it go, oh, oh, oh-oh
That's why I need your help sometimes
I never know
'Cause life is changing
I am changing, friends are changing
Nice to know you, I'm impatient
I don't trust you, this is real and you are faking
Just come and pick me up sometimes
You never know
Just come and catch up sometimes
You never know, oh, oh, oh-oh
Two faced, I am with you, babe
One man in love, one man insane
Two faced, I am with you, babe
One man in love, one man insane
In Allan Rayman's Verona the Hellcat, the lyrics reveal a sense of internal struggle within the singer. He is aware that he has a dark side that he tries to hide from the world. The chorus emphasizes his struggle with his own identity and refers to himself as a “two-faced” person with two sides that are struggling to coexist. He thought he found someone who could love everything about him, even the dark parts, but he was wrong. The singer reflects on his inability to trust anyone and how his own self-doubt has led to the collapse of the relationship he thought he had. The song ends with a plea to someone to just pick him up, suggesting that despite everything, he still needs someone to help him navigate his inner demons.
The lyrics also touch on themes of self-doubt, fear of abandonment, and fear of rejection. The singer compares himself to a monster, and highlights how he thought he had found someone who could love him despite his flaws. However, as the relationship falls apart, he realizes that he was wrong. The lyrics are also open to interpretation, making it relatable to anyone who may have experienced a similar situation, making the song more powerful in its delivery.
