Guilty
Jordan Millar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or why this world keeps pushing on me
Gravity release
So I will give my greatest blank stare
With my eyes to the ground so they're not aware
That I can't get to sleep
In peace
And I feel guilty, like a weight is on me
It's pushing me over and dragging my feet
And I feel guilty and I can't get to sleep
I'm losing patience in trying to break free
And I feel guilty
Started work on devising a plan
To devise and revise to say what I can
So they'll still talk to me
But with this big lump that's stuck in my throat
I'll try to drink it down but it wont go
And I know what that means
I'm sorry
And I feel guilty, like a weight is on me
It's pushing me over and dragging my feet
And I feel guilty and I can't get to sleep
I'm losing patience in trying to break free
And I feel guilty
And I will crawl into a ball
And hope there's someone who can fix it all
Because I want it so much
‘Cos I feel guilty, like a weight is on me
It's pushing me over and dragging my feet
And I feel guilty and I can't get to sleep
I'm losing patience in trying to break free
And I feel guilty
The lyrics to Jordan Millar's song "Guilty" portray a feeling of overwhelming guilt and shame. The song starts with the singer expressing confusion about the lack of beat in his heart and the world's constant pressures on him. He then describes his attempts to hide his guilt from others by giving a "blank stare" and avoiding eye contact. However, he is unable to find peace and can't sleep due to the weight of his guilt.
In the second verse, the singer attempts to fix the situation by devising a plan to speak with others. However, he is unsuccessful in communicating due to a "big lump" stuck in his throat. He apologizes and acknowledges his guilt, hoping someone else can help him fix things. Overall, the song conveys a sense of internal turmoil and the struggle to find inner peace while dealing with guilt.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know why my heart will not beat
I'm feeling emotionally low
Or why this world keeps pushing on me
I feel like everything is going wrong
Gravity release
I wish I could escape this feeling
So I will give my greatest blank stare
I'll pretend like everything's okay
With my eyes to the ground so they're not aware
I don't want anyone to see how I really feel
That I can't get to sleep
I'm struggling to find peace
In peace
I'm in need of calmness and serenity
And I feel guilty, like a weight is on me
I'm consumed with guilt and it's overwhelming
It's pushing me over and dragging my feet
It's making it hard for me to function
And I can't get to sleep
I can't escape from this guilt and it's affecting my sleep
I'm losing patience in trying to break free
I'm struggling to overcome this feeling
Started work on devising a plan
I'm trying to come up with a solution
To devise and revise to say what I can
I'm trying to figure out how to express myself
So they'll still talk to me
I don't want to lose the people in my life
But with this big lump that's stuck in my throat
I'm finding it hard to speak up
I'll try to drink it down but it wont go
I'm trying to ignore the feeling but it's not working
And I know what that means
I'm aware that my guilt isn't going away
I'm sorry
I wish I could take back what I did to feel guilty in the first place
And I will crawl into a ball
I just want to curl up and shut out the world
And hope there's someone who can fix it all
I'm looking for someone to help me through this
Because I want it so much
I'm desperate for a way out of this guilt
