Deceived
Ryan Caraveo Lyrics

I travel 500 acres, I drove 1000 kilometers
I have travelled a far distance, I have driven a long way

I'm really not sure what day it is
I am disoriented and confused, unsure of the present time

I couldn't tell you what time it is
I have lost sense of time and am unaware of the current hour

The sun looks so beautiful though
Despite my confusion, I appreciate the beauty of the sunset or sunrise

I wonder if it is setting or rising
I am questioning whether the sun is setting or rising

The purples and blues look just like bruises above the horizon
The colors of the sunset/sunrise are reminiscent of bruising and injury

I'm tryna find out your formula
I am attempting to decipher your method or strategy

You bring the finest euphoria
You bring the greatest feeling of happiness and elation

Where did you go? I need more of ya
I am longing for more of what you provide and wondering where you have gone

I cannot keep my eyes open wide
I am tired and struggling to stay alert

Slept one day, then awake for five
My sleeping pattern is disturbed, leading me to be awake for long stretches of time

Hands on the wheel with crazy eyes
I am driving with intense focus and probably look unstable or erratic

I know I look crazy, right?
I am aware of how I appear to others and am acknowledging that it may not be typical

'Cause I still believe you out there fightin' for me
I maintain faith that you are still advocating for me and my needs

Isn't it true? Isn't it true?
Asking if this belief is justified and accurate

Or have I been deceived?
Questioning whether or not my trust and belief has been misplaced

I could have flown to you easily
I could have easily travelled to you by plane

But I had to change up the scenery
I desired a change of environment or surroundings

These lonely drives are serene to me
Although solitary, driving alone brings me a sense of peace

Plus, it gives me time to talk me-to-me
Driving alone allows me to have interior conversations with myself

Quick as a meteorite, you can push me to your right
You can quickly and assertively influence me in a certain direction

When I ask about it, you remain silent, like
When I inquire about your influence, you refuse to answer

Someone is reading your rights
The act of being silent when questioned can be seen as incriminating

I understand, you overstressed
I comprehend that you are strained and pressured

We'll talk tomorrow, you won't forget
We will resume this discussion and you will not fail to remember it

I hate when we argue, you go for necks
I dislike when we fight and you attack me personally and aggressively

But it's all good, you probably just need a bit more time
Despite my previous anger, I understand that you need more time to work through issues

I trust you and ignore the signs
Despite potential warning signals, I continue to trust you and follow your lead

I'm yours, I wonder if you're mine
I have given myself over to you, but question whether the feeling is reciprocated

I've been deceived (I've been deceived)
I have been misled or tricked

I've been deceived (I've been deceived)
I have been misled or tricked

I've been deceived (I've been deceived)
I have been misled or tricked

I've been deceived (I've been deceived)
I have been misled or tricked

I've been deceived (I've been deceived)
I have been misled or tricked

I've been deceived
The repeated chorus emphasizes the feeling of being misled or tricked
