The lyrics of "Decisions" by Neyo Ft. Brandy delve into the internal struggle faced by the singer, torn between his desire to do the right thing and his temptation to give in to his impulses. The song portrays an inner dialogue between an angelic voice and a devilish voice, symbolizing the conflicting thoughts and emotions within the singer's mind.
The angelic voice emphasizes the importance of considering the consequences of one's actions and evaluating whether the potential gratification is truly worth risking a good relationship. It urges the singer to think about the impact on his partner and to resist the allure of immediate gratification.
Conversely, the devilish voice encourages the singer to give in to his desires, focusing on the temporary pleasure and the belief that as long as his partner remains unaware, there will be no harm done. It plays on the idea that what his partner doesn't know won't hurt her, rationalizing the behavior as acceptable as long as it remains a secret.
The chorus reflects the inner turmoil and indecision plaguing the singer as he grapples with conflicting emotions. He acknowledges his inner conflict between wanting to do what is right and succumbing to the temptation represented by his partner's allure, showcasing the internal struggle between morality and desire.
Ultimately, the song underscores the theme of choices and consequences, highlighting the importance of making the right decision despite the allure of temptation. It prompts the listener to reflect on their own moral compass and the impact of their actions on their relationships, urging them to consider whether the fleeting pleasure is worth the potential loss of a valued connection.
