Sideways
Sheila Divine Lyrics

you can bless me
Asking for guidance and support from a higher power.

and tell me that i'm good
Requesting acknowledgement and validation of one's worthiness from others.

or just arrest me
Preferring confrontation and honesty instead of being placated with lies or half-truths.

and charge me with the truth
Accepting the consequences of knowing and telling the truth, even if it is uncomfortable or inconvenient.

but when you guard me
Acknowledging one's need for protection and safety.

could you keep me from my own
Asking for help in preventing oneself from self-sabotaging thoughts or behaviors.

and if you're leaving
Addressing the fear and insecurity of abandonment and loss.

could you burn me with your oath
Asking for a promise of loyalty and devotion to ensure against betrayal or desertion.

sideways and all directions
Feeling lost and disoriented, unable to find a clear path or direction.

i can see if in my own reflection
Acknowledging that the source of confusion and uncertainty is within oneself.

well you confine me
Feeling trapped and constrained by external factors, such as rules or expectations.

and lock me from myself
Being prevented from accessing or expressing one's true self.

and when you lead me
Being guided or directed by others.

its back into my shell
Returning to a state of isolation and protection from harm and vulnerability.

i feel like theres no protection
Feeling exposed and vulnerable, with no sense of security or safety.

there's no feeling
Experiencing emotional numbness or detachment.

there's just coldness
Feeling disconnected and distant from others.

i feel soulless
Feeling devoid of purpose or meaning, with no sense of identity or self-worth.
