There for Me
Deviates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
did i treat her good? though i didn't speak she always understood,
i took her for granted and i don't know why. throng all the tough
times she loved me. preoccupied i was too blind to see. she gave
her all, she gave her life she had no more, she did it all for me.
she knew me but did she know? i loved her but did it show? there
was a letter and i knew why. she said she loved me then she said goodbye.
The lyrics of Deviates's song "There For Me" describe a relationship where one person takes the other for granted, not fully appreciating the love and support she gives. The singer wonders if he treated her well or if he even showed his love, realizing too late the extent of her sacrifice. The revelation comes in the form of a letter, in which she professes her love and then says goodbye, leaving the singer to regret his actions and wonder if there was anything he could have done differently.
The lyrics convey a deep sense of sadness and regret, as the singer comes to terms with his own shortcomings and the loss of someone who was always there for him. The theme of taking someone for granted is a common one in music, but the way Deviates explores it through the lens of a failed relationship makes the song stand out. The lyrics are simple but effective, conveying the weight of the situation and the singer's emotional state.
In terms of the music itself, "There For Me" is a powerful punk rock track that matches the intensity of the lyrics. The guitar riffs are driving and aggressive, while the vocals are raw and passionate. The combination of the two creates a sense of urgency that reflects the urgency of the situation described in the lyrics.
