Evidence
Mia Wray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is all I'll ever be and that's the truth
Hear my cry
There's power in this pain
I'm building up the walls
And you're to blame
It's a crime
Living with the consequence
Ooo
I've been playing dead
I've got the evidence
I'm not looking for a reason
All I see is red
Everywhere I go it seems like
There's another threat
That I'm up against
I've got nowhere left to hide
I've got the evidence
CCTV caught you out
And you've got no defence
Everywhere I go it seems like
They're not listening
Fucking hypocrites
You've got nowhere left to hide
Flying when you shot me
Dragged me under
Magic carpet rider
Dreamer, lover
Now
Take your bow
Take your
Say my name again
Write it in that gold ink glitter pen
Take your time
And I pray you see it too
Now you feel the fear
He's watching you
You can't hide
Ah Ooo
Living with the consequence
Ooo
Sick of playing dead
I've got the evidence
I'm not looking for a reason
All I see is red
Everywhere I go it seems like
There's another threat
That I'm up against
I've got nowhere left to hide
I've got the evidence
CCTV caught you out
And you've got no defence
Everywhere I go it seems like
They're not listening
Fucking hypocrites
You've got nowhere left to hide
Was it in the way I walked
Or was it in the way talked
These endless thoughts
Are cutting me like knives
Now all you'll ever be is someone
Sad enough that sees that just
Because I am a woman
I am yours
Flying when you shot me
Dragged me under
Magic carpet rider
Dreamer, lover
Now
Take your bow
I've got the evidence
I'm not looking for a reason
All I see is red
Everywhere I go it seems like
There's another threat
That I'm up against
I've got nowhere left to hide
I've got the evidence
CCTV caught you out
And you've got no defence
Everywhere I go it seems like
They're not listening
Fucking hypocrites
You've got nowhere left to hide
La da da da da...
The song "Evidence" by Mia Wray is all about a woman who has been wounded and betrayed by someone she trusted. The opening lines "A wounded deer to you, Is all I'll ever be and that's the truth" sets the tone for the rest of the song and speaks to how the woman feels about herself in relation to the person who hurt her. She sings about the pain she's feeling and how she's built up walls to protect herself, but ultimately it's a crime that she has to live with this pain. The lyrics "I've got the evidence, CCTV caught you out, and you've got no defense" reveals that there's actual proof of the person's wrongdoing, and she's not just dwelling on her own suspicions or assumptions.
The chorus of the song is powerful and intense, with the repetition of the lyrics "I've got the evidence", emphasizing the point that she won't be silenced or ignored. The song talks about how everywhere she goes there seems to be another threat against her, and how she's sick of playing dead. It's a clear statement of her resolve to fight against whoever is hurting her, and her refusal to be a victim any longer.
Overall, "Evidence" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to anyone who's ever been hurt or betrayed by someone they trusted. It's a passionate expression of pain and anger but also of strength and resilience.
