Guilty
Hensley Ken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said she was in love with me
Worse, still, how long it took to see
How cruel love can be
She twisted my words
Though I gave her love in the face of her lies
She is the devil in a fancy dress
And now that we have parted
And gone our separate ways
We can look back on all those wasted days
For there's a lesson inside our story
It haunts my memory
It taught me how hard
The learning can be
The lyrics to Hensley Ken's "Guilty" are reflective of a past relationship in which the singer feels deceived and manipulated. The opening line "She's guilty of deceiving me" sets the tone for the song as the singer puts the blame on his past lover. He believed she was in love with him, and it's implied that he gave her all of his trust and love, but he later discovered he was wrong. He is frustrated about how long it took him to realize her true motives and how love can be cruel.
In the next verse, the singer's frustration builds as he accuses his former lover of twisting his words, despite his continued affection for her. The third line, "She is the devil in a fancy dress," uses a metaphor to portray the woman as deceiving and untrustworthy. She tries to disguise her true nature with her so-called passion, but it's all a facade. The line "And gone are our separate ways" suggests that the two have already parted, and now that it's over, the singer looks back at the relationship and sees it as a lesson. The last line of the song, "It taught me how hard the learning can be," indicates that he has now learned the lesson, but it came at the cost of a broken heart.
Overall, "Guilty" is a song about heartbreak and the realization that even love can sometimes be deceiving. Love can be a beautiful thing, but sometimes, the person you give your heart to doesn't deserve it.
