Dare
Foliage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's all thanks to you, it wasn't worth it all
In my past, I thought I felt dead deep inside
I just didn't know how you'd use me and abuse me
And I tried to run, but you didn't let me go
You didn't let me go, I tried to run
I couldn't even if I dared to
In this heart, I am sad to say this is new
And it's all thanks to you, it wasn't worth it all
In my past, I thought I felt dead deep inside
I just didn't know how you'd use me and abuse me
And I tried to run, but you didn't let me go
You didn't let me go, I tried to run
I couldn't even if I dared to
I couldn't even if I dared to
The lyrics of Foliage's song "Dare" seem to be addressing a past relationship that ended badly. The singer is expressing sadness and regret, saying that this feeling is new to them, and that it's all thanks to the person they were with. They used to feel dead inside, but didn't realize how they were being used and abused by their partner. The singer tried to run away, but their partner wouldn't let them go, leaving them with no escape. Even if they had dared to leave, they wouldn't have been able to.
The tone of the song is quite solemn and reflective, with a melancholy melody to match. It seems like the singer is still processing what happened in their past relationship, and grappling with some of the more difficult emotions that came with it. The repetition of the lines "I tried to run, but you didn't let me go" and "I couldn't even if I dared to" drive home the sense of captivity that the singer experienced, and the struggle that they had to regain their agency and freedom.
Overall, "Dare" is a poignant song that explores the aftermath of a toxic relationship, and the difficulty of moving on from it. Its lyrics blend vulnerability, regret, and a sense of resignation, capturing the complicated emotions that come with letting go of someone who hurt you.
