Right Through
Citizen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just have this way of forcing words I never meant.
And I'd like to think that there was weight
In the words exchanged or the way it felt back then.
And I know that gets colder at this time of year.
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by.
Though I think you should know everything,
There's many things I'd probably say I wouldn't do but I did back then.
I know I lied to you but it was better that way
And it doesn't change the way you see right through.
And I know that it gets colder at this time of year.
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by.
Though I think you should know everything,
I'm keeping this one in for good and that's the way it ought to be.
And I know that it gets colder at this time of year.
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by.
In Citizen's song "Right Through," the singer is struggling with the fallout of past actions and the weight of their words. They begin by acknowledging that their words may not always accurately reflect their true intentions, but they still hold onto the belief that there was some meaning or significance behind the words exchanged with another person. However, the singer knows that time and lies can cause relationships to become colder and more distant. They also acknowledge that there are things they did in the past that they now regret and that they may have lied to the person they are addressing, but they believe that these actions were necessary to protect the other person in some way. The singer concludes that they must keep something hidden from the person, despite their desire for transparency, because it is better that way.
