Revelation
Moore Ian Lyrics

Pretty mama break me from these chains
Asking his former lover to release him from the emotional chains and control she held over him

You told me that I was your only man
She led him to believe he was the only person in her life, but actually she was deceiving him

Wrapped me up in all these guises of grace
She hid her true identity and intentions using the mask of charming and sophisticated behavior

Now I've seen it face to face
Finally confronted the truth about her façade

Revelation
The realization and acceptance of the truth

Silent charade you're a master of thought
She is skilled in hiding her true intentions and feelings through thoughtfulness and cleverness.

Indiscretion mounting as you gather your loss
She is becoming more careless in her actions and failing to keep her secrets as she realizes she is losing him.

Undercover darkness was your veil
She disguised her true intentions and feelings under the facade of light and truth.

Words were stolen, love for sale
She lied and manipulated him into believing she loved him, when all she really cared about was what she could gain from him.

I've been listenin' to what you're saying baby
He paid attention to her words and behavior

But what your sayin' I know it ain't true
Aware of her lies

I've been playing what your playing
He had reciprocated to her love and casual advances

But baby I played you
He had tricked her in return to win over her actions

When you're lying all the time
Repeated lies deceive and make it harder to trust her.

Don't you know it makes it hard to see the truth
Her lies have made it difficult for him to recognize the truth.

And you were blind to the fact
She was unaware of the realization that he also had the potential to act sinfully towards her.

That a man can be just as evil as you
He reminds her that she is not the only one capable of acting evil.

Now the tide is turning
The situation is changing in his favor.

And mama you wonder where you stand
She realizes she has lost control over him.

I got a wild card in my deck, little baby
He has a hidden advantage over her.

Guess that gives me the upper hand
He has the advantage in this power struggle.

I ain't gonna fall in line like all those other fools
He will not fall into her trap again.

I had a revelation, baby and I got a line on you
He has gained insight about her true intentions and now understands how to outmaneuver her.
