Matt Easton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay. I seen some better days. Been inside a better place,
currently I'm stranded and de(ha)sserted looking for your face.
Where did you go? Why did you leave me?
Am i responsible for making you disappear? Guess I'm Houdini.
Who is the one that should be blamed here? Why do i feel guilty?
Please fill out this questionnaire
that says which one was acting selfish?
Who was it' who never felt it' when you described the

pain. All these migraines thinking you were playing games.
Was it supposed to be? Or did i just let you go?
My answer is, i dont know. I feel like i need you though.
I'm a mess' filled with a bunch of second guesses.
I don't know if i can go on without
answers to these rolling questions!

I took too long to decode the message,
I might have gone in the wrong direction,
Theres no way i can live with these questions' on my mind (ooh)

No way- I'm uh'. In no way- im uh'.
no way- I'ma live with these questions.
No, no, No, no. Noo, no. Nooo, noo.
Nooo, no, Nooo, no.

My memory has made a mess of me! Got me questioning the best of me.
Thinking about you just depresses me.
Rest in peace to everything we been through, all and separately.
Its killing me mentally that you are no longer obsess with me.
I'm heavily regreting all the things i constantly put you
through. All the times that i was wrong, chillin' in my rear view.
Now i seem to get it, but i never would admit it.
Well i understand now. But its too late to be a critic.
Im not any Wiz in physics but the separation is happening rapidly.
I wouldnt blame you for not coming back to
me. Questions all inside asking time to rewind.
I was unaware how blind my vision was, i lost my mind!

Okay!
(Guitar shred)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Matt Easton's song "Questions" are a depiction of a person's struggle to come to terms with a lost relationship. The first verse describes the singer's state of mind, where he reminisces about better days and seeks the face of his lost love, who has left him feeling stranded and deserted. He questions why she left him and wonders if he is to blame for her disappearance. The lyrics suggest that he is unable to move on because of the guilt and uncertainty that he feels. He goes on to describe how he took too long to understand the message and that he is plagued by questions about the past, making him unable to move on. As the song progresses, the singer seeks answers to the questions that torment him but ultimately realizes that it is too late to change the past.

The second paragraph describes the singer's mental state and how he is struggling to come to terms with the end of his relationship. The lyrics suggest that he is plagued by his memories of the past and is depressed by the realization that his love is no longer interested in him. He expresses regret for the way he treated his love, which he believes may have led to the breakup. The lyrics suggest that he is aware of his faults and takes responsibility for the part he played in the relationship's end. However, he realizes that his self-awareness is too late to make a difference, and his relationship is irretrievably lost.

I wish I could go back in time and fix everything. I realize now that I was blind to what was happening, and it drove me crazy when I finally saw the truth.
