Intwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd rather just give in to all there is to tast
Seems like all the done has been written down in ink
That can never be erased
What e did I know ye wish ye didn't do
Cause all the wrong ye did it tends to stick with you
Just regret never change nothing yet
I know my mind is set changing wrong to righ
Though I tried my best it leaves me sleepless nights
But I know it's real, what I do is real
I can't help it's real no I can't help it's real
Though It fills me with regret 'n makes me wish we never met
'N I can somehow cange my bet, maybe it's best that I forget
Try to find my way back home soon
Lately I've been thinking hard, wish I acted from the heart
Played another part, give a fresh start
But that would be surreal, that Can not be real
The wrong end of the deal, that would be unreal
My heart would never agree, not to be here if it wasn't me
Another thinking came for free, except my wrongs
That part of me, was forgotten history

He feels helpless and believes that his fate is already written in stone, with no room for redemption. He reflects on the mistakes he has made in the past, and how the memories of those misdeeds weigh him down, preventing him from moving forward. However, he acknowledges that if he wants to move on from these feelings of guilt and shame, he must change his ways and alter his 'dutty step' or his wicked behavior. He accepts that making up for past transgressions is a long and arduous task and that it will take much more than mere words to make amends.
But amidst all this remorse and regret, the singer also acknowledges that he can't lose hope and must believe that change is possible. He wants to set things right and move towards the path of righteousness, even though it may cause him sleepless nights. He realizes that his actions have consequences and that he needs to be responsible for his past and work hard to make amends.
