Guilty
Inessa and Dante Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shadows falling, baby
We stand alone out on the street
Anybody you meet
Got a heartache of their own
(it oughtta be legal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
You got a reason for living
You battle on
With the love you're livin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
Chorus
And we got nothing...
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain
Near of far we are and we never let it end
We got devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Pulses racing, darlin'
How great we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
(it oughtta be legal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
(it oughtta be legal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on
With the love you're buildin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
Chorus
We got nothing to be guilty of...
Chorus...
The song "Guilty" by Inessa and Dante Thomas is about a couple standing together in the face of loneliness, sadness and adversity. The song opens with the line "Shadows falling, baby, we stand alone out on the street" which sets the stage for the song's instrumental melody. In the following line, "anybody you meet got a heartache of their own", the song seems to express a universal empathy towards the feeling of heartache. The song's lyrics suggest that being lonely or sad should be considered illegal, but love and the battle to keep it alive, is a reason to fight on. The couple makes it clear that their love is one in a million, and that they have nothing to be guilty of.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that the couple has "nothing to be guilty of", that their love will conquer any adversity, climb every mountain and that their eyes can see past the risk of danger in the dark. Dante Thomas and Inessa declare their love for each other by telling each other "I don't wanna hear your goodbye". The chorus is repeated twice in the song, and serves as the anchor of the song's message.
