Goodness
Blind Benny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taffy salty and sweet
Laughter blends with my cries
Cause I know youre no good for me
I wonder if youve done them yet
Deeds to help you forget
Goodness gracious how deep the love goes
Witness your kisses right over the threshold
Bearing my soul right under the covers
Oh what a love would leave me to wonder
What was lost, what was found
What was lost what was found
Lay down Night chase the day
Cool down Ill lie awake
till i smooth out my reasons to breathe
like a shot crown, begging to dream
remember whats worth fighting for
we surrendered, i didnt know
Goodness gracious how deep the love goes
Witness your kisses right over the threshold
Bearing my soul right under the covers
Oh what a love would leave me to wonder
What was lost, what was found
What was lost, what was found
The lyrics of Blind Benny's song "Goodness" convey a sense of conflicting emotions and uncertainty in a relationship. The opening lines, "Candy falls from my eyes, Taffy salty and sweet, Laughter blends with my cries," suggest a mixture of joy and pain, as if the singer is experiencing a bittersweet sensation. The next line, "Cause I know you're no good for me," reveals that the source of the singer's turmoil is a romantic interest that they recognize as being unhealthy. The following lines express the singer's curiosity about whether or not their love interest has tried to forget them, indicating that there may have been a breakup or some sort of conflict between the two.
The chorus of the song, "Goodness gracious how deep the love goes, Witness your kisses right over the threshold, Bearing my soul right under the covers, Oh what a love would leave me to wonder," further emphasizes the ambivalent nature of the singer's feelings. While they are clearly enamored with their love interest and describe the depth of their affection with reverence ("how deep the love goes"), they also acknowledge the potential negative consequences that could result from pursuing this connection ("what a love would leave me to wonder").
The final verses of the song continue to explore the singer's confusion and vulnerability in the relationship. Lines like "Cool down I'll lie awake till I smooth out my reasons to breathe" suggest a sense of anxiety or turmoil as the singer struggles to make sense of their emotions. Overall, Blind Benny's "Goodness" effectively captures the complicated and often contradictory sentiments that arise when one is in love with someone who is not necessarily good for them.
