Promise Kept
Donkeyboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I don't know that is what you want.
It's getting difficult to breath.
But I keep my head held high.
Will I be myself again.
Will my heart beat in the end.
Should you find life OK?
Always on time control.
Waits for you.
Everything plays along.
Can you please forgive me.
Now that I know I've been wrong.
Alone I cannot conquer the earth.
Alone I cannot conquer the earth.
(Chorus)
Should you find life OK?
Always on time control.
Waits for you.
Everything plays along.
Should you find life OK?
Always on time control.
Waits for you.
Everything plays along.
The first verse of the chorus is still a blur, look out for update.
In Donkeyboy's song "Promise Kept," the lyrics explore feelings of regret, the desire for forgiveness, and a sense of isolation. The lead singer sings about compensation for something he has done wrong, unsure of whether it's what the person he has wronged wants. The emotions of guilt and shame are palpable as he finds it difficult to breathe but still keeps his head held high, suggesting that he is attempting to be strong despite the pain he feels. The second verse raises the question of whether he will "be himself again" and if his "heart will beat in the end," which shows that he is questioning his self-identity and his ability to recover from his mistakes.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Should you find life OK? Always on time control. Waits for you. Everything plays along," which gives us some insight into the mindset of the person he has wronged. It could be interpreted as a message of reassurance that life will go on regardless of this specific mistake, and everything will ultimately work out. He also pleads for forgiveness, suggesting that he wants to make amends for his mistake and feels helpless without the other person's support. The final lines of the song, "Alone I cannot conquer the earth," suggest that he feels isolated and believes that he needs this person's forgiveness to move forward.

For all of the people who don't find the lyrics, well, if you have atleast a basic knownledge of English, you should be able to figure them out. This isn't exactly a hard song. No matter if half of you is prolly Norwegian. ANYWAY. This has to be my favorite from Caught In A Life.
