Guilty
Asher Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Future was brighter than the sunrise
It was so perfect till it wasn't
Your sister texts me why I'm not around
Debatin' if I should tell her why
Fifty-fifty it'll make me feel better
Did it happen more than once?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're with him, were you thinkin' of me?
Spent a whole week just thinkin' 'bout, ooh, you
Do you feel guilty?
If you're happy, can't say that I am
If you're human, then you give a damn
Who you? Do you feel guilty?
Maybe we'll be friends or maybe we won't
That's the hardest thing about bein' adults
Half the time you're vulnerable
Half the time you're fuckin' cold
I should wear a winter coat
Just so that you're in the know
So, in case you didn't know
I had to tell our friends we're not together
And believe it when they said I could do better
Did it happen more than once?
Was it random?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're with him, were you thinkin' of me?
Spent a whole week just thinkin' about, ooh, you
Do you feel guilty?
If you're happy, can't say that I am
If you're human, then you give a damn
Who you? (Who you?)
Do you feel guilty?
Do you feel guilty?
The opening lines of Asher Angel's song "Guilty" paint a vivid picture of a peaceful day spent sitting on the roof of his lover's mother's house, enjoying the bright and promising sunshine. However, this idyllic scenario comes to an abrupt end as the singer reveals that something went wrong, and everything collapsed. The lyrics suggest that his lover cheated on him with someone else, and he's now struggling to come to terms with his feelings.
The questions the singer asks in the chorus--"Did it happen more than once? Was it random?"--underscore his confusion and distress. He wonders if the betrayal he experienced was a one-time occurrence or a pattern of behavior. He also wonders if his lover thought of him while being with another. He questions whether they feel any remorse for their actions and feel guilty for hurting him.
The second verse highlights the difficulty of moving on and the mixed emotions that come with the dissolution of a relationship. The singer feels like he was left out in the cold and yet realizes that sometimes, vulnerability is part of the human experience. He contemplates whether they'll be able to maintain a friendship after what happened but recognizes that it takes time and honesty to heal from such wounds.
In conclusion, "Guilty" is a heart-wrenching song that explores the pain and confusion of being cheated on. The lyrics are raw and honest and capture the rollercoaster of emotions that come with a break-up.
