DAMNED
Jamie Winchester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without a word of warning
The cold of winter in my heart
As I walk away from you
The hardest thing I'll ever do
A world of memories falls apart
I prayed for the answer
I dreamed of the light
A beautiful solution to make things right
But I´m damned if I stay here
I´m damned if I run away
And If you ever tried to see what
I showed you or hear what I say
I never would left you asleep where you lay
But I´m damned if I stay here
I´m damned if I run away
I know it was not easy
I know you tried to please me
I know you´re asking yourself : why ?
And maybe the problem's in me
I have no right to be happy
Always have to say goodbye
Forever and a day
I prayed for the answer
I dreamed of the light
A beautiful solution to make things right
But I´m damned if I stay here
I´m damned if I run away
And If you ever tried to see what
I showed you or hear what I say
I never would left you asleep where you lay
But I´m damned if I stay here
I´m damned if I run away
And now that my life is turning
Bridges burning ! Forgive me!
And one day we´ll all be older
Four-leaf clover
But now it's over !
I prayed for the answer
I dreamed of the light
A beautiful solution to make things right
But I'm damned if I stay here
I'm damned if I run away
And If you ever tried to see what
I showed you or hear what I say
I never would left you asleep where you lay
But I'm damned if I stay here
I'm damned if I run away
I'm damned if I stay here
I'm damned if I run away...
The lyrics of Jamie Winchester's song "Damn" depict a situation where the singer has made the difficult decision to leave a relationship without any prior warning. The singer describes feeling the coldness of winter in their heart, symbolizing their emotional detachment from the relationship. As they walk away, they acknowledge that leaving is the hardest thing they have ever done and that their departure causes a world of memories to fall apart.
The singer reflects on their prayers and dreams for a solution to make things right in the relationship. However, they feel trapped in a no-win situation, hence the repeated line "I'm damned if I stay here, I'm damned if I run away." They are aware that they are leaving behind someone who cared for them deeply and tried to please them, leading them to question themselves and wonder why they cannot find happiness. This self-reflection leads them to blame themselves for always having to say goodbye and not deserving to be happy.
The song concludes with the desperate realization that bridges have been burned and forgiveness may be difficult to attain. The singer acknowledges that everyone will eventually grow older and move on, represented by the mention of a four-leaf clover symbolizing luck. However, for now, the relationship is over, and they remain caught in the conflicting emotions of wanting to stay but also wanting to run away.
Overall, "Damn" explores the complexities of love and the inner turmoil experienced when faced with making difficult choices in relationships.

I packed my bags this morning
I made the decision to leave abruptly and without warning
Without a word of warning
Leaving without giving any prior indication or explanation
The cold of winter in my heart
Feeling emotionally distant and cold
As I walk away from you
Moving away from our relationship
The hardest thing I'll ever do
Leaving you is the most difficult decision I'll ever make
A world of memories falls apart
All the memories we shared are now crumbling and breaking
Forever and a day
For an indefinite period of time
I prayed for the answer
I desperately sought for a solution
I dreamed of the light
I envisioned a brighter future
A beautiful solution to make things right
An ideal resolution to fix our problems
But I'm damned if I stay here
I feel trapped and doomed if I remain in this relationship
I'm damned if I run away
I will also face consequences if I choose to leave
And If you ever tried to see what I showed you or hear what I say
If only you had made an effort to understand my perspective or listen to my words
I never would left you asleep where you lay
I would never abandon you without trying to resolve our issues
I know it was not easy
I understand that it was challenging for you
I know you tried to please me
I recognize your efforts to make me happy
I know you're asking yourself: why?
I understand that you're questioning the reasons behind my actions
And maybe the problem's in me
Perhaps the issue lies within myself
I have no right to be happy
I don't feel deserving of happiness
Always have to say goodbye
I'm constantly faced with the need to part ways
And now that my life is turning
As my life takes a different direction
Bridges burning! Forgive me!
The bridges between us are being destroyed, and I ask for your forgiveness
And one day we'll all be older
Eventually, we will all age and grow older
Four-leaf clover
A symbol of luck and hope
But now it's over!
Our relationship has ended
I'm damned if I stay here
I feel trapped and cursed if I remain
I'm damned if I run away
I will also face consequences if I choose to leave
I'm damned if I stay here
I feel trapped and cursed if I remain
I'm damned if I run away...
I will also face consequences if I choose to leave

hasonlóan fenomenális lehetett a hangulat, mint anno az isaszegi Indul a Bakterház sörözőben! Köszönjük Jamie! (Ákos is köszöni :D )
Eszter Kővári

Imádom ezeket az mr2-es videókat. Kristálytiszta hangzás, profi zene....
Tamas Boka
Jamie is a wonderful person.
olikrisz
Nagyon kellemes, nyugtató. Komolyan tehetséges a 'fiú' és a zenekara. <3 Tessék meghallgatni a Hello Budapest-et is! (Az MR2 pedig már szerves része az életemnek.)
Norbert Tajthy
Ez akkorát szól, mint a hasonló márkájú lőfegyver!!!! Great Jamie!

ez tényleg gyönyörű, nem is lehetne szebben hangszerelni és énekelni ezt a dalt
kriszpaul
teljesen igazad van, sőt szerintem inkább azt kéne ebben látni hogy nyilván jó barátok és játszhatják egymás dalait ami egy nagyon klassz dolog arról nem is beszélve hogy egy dalnak több interpretációját hallani a 'közönségnek (nekünk!) is öröm kéne legyen. :) nekem Ákosé marad végülis az eredeti, de ez is nagyon tetszik.

1000+1000 éve köszönöm :-) ez egy csoda így látni az "előadást" és nem csak hallgatni, még nagyobb csoda :-)
