The Reason
Allen & Envy and Katty Heath Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a photo album full of bad decisions
I keep my blind eyes open for a new religion
I hope and pray someday that I will find the reason
The reason for Treason
I've got a pocket full of change, a heart of gold
I've made my bed in places that I didn't know
I've had to walk away from things without a reason
The reason is Treason

It's the end of a road I did not know
It's the end of a love I can't let go
In this life we all deal with different seasons
I found that you were my reason for Treason
You left a scar upon my soul that's still unseen
You tried to break me down and loved to watch me bleed
You always played your game so I would not break even
From all your Treason
It's the end of a road I did not know
It's the end of a love I can't let go
In this life we all deal with different seasons
I found that you were my reason for Treason
My reason for Treason
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
My reason for Treason
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
It's the end of a road I did not know
It's the end of a love I can't let go
In this life we all deal with different seasons
I found that you were my reason for Treason
My reason for Treason
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
My reason for Treason
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Ohhhhh
My reason for Treason
I found that you
I found that you were

My reason for Treason
My reason for Treason

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Allen & Envy and Katty Heath's song "The Reason" express the struggle to come to terms with past mistakes and bad decisions. The singer has a photo album filled with these memories and seeks a new religion, a new reason to guide them towards making better choices. The idea of treason is introduced as the singer tries to find a reason for their past betrayals, both of themselves and others. The lyrics become more personal when the singer discusses their own experiences of leaving things behind without explanation, possibly hinting at a past relationship or job.

The second half of the song shifts the focus to a specific person who has caused the singer pain and heartache. The scars left behind are unseen but nonetheless deeply felt, and the person in question seems to have enjoyed watching the singer suffer. The repeated phrase "my reason for treason" takes on a different meaning in this context, as the person who caused the singer to betray themselves and others becomes the reason for their actions.

Overall, "The Reason" is a song about taking responsibility for one's actions, seeking redemption and a better path forward. It also explores the complex emotions and motivations behind our decisions, especially those that have caused harm to ourselves and others.

Like a ghost I walk alone
Through a sea of faces
Like the ghost of love I've known
That is trying to hold on
You led me down this road
And I followed all your lies
Made me believe
That you would give
All of your self
With guarantees
In a sense a wake up call
Didn't see it coming
In a sense an endless fall
That I did not deserve
Everything has changed
You turned my world
Upside down
You made me believe
But you've deceived
Playing your tricks
Upon my heart
Along the way our lives became entwined
Two worlds unite two worlds collide
In my heart we lived as one
The promise you made
Left in the rain
You stole the sun

Este tema me recuerda un sentimiento profundo de hace 6 años en el que me sentía muy solo y sin esperanzas, me refugiaba en el trance, este era mi compañía sentimental y pensaba mucho en mi existencia y lo hermosa que es...
