Bayside
Shy Jnr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what happened
I just let you go and I don't know the consequences
Pictures burn and scars still open up from all this madness
I can't tell no alibi to say why I have done this
Me, myself and I, too many people here to deal with
Rote-learn in my head all of the words to say "I'm sorry
Broken promises are not the unexpected from me"
I can't tell no alibi to say why I have done this
Me, myself and I, too many people here to deal with
Split personality
Multiple realities
It's the devil or the high sea, yeah
I can't begin to choose
What precious things I lose
It's like a Catch 22, oh no
Empty fulfilment it's no secret
That I was always so wrong, ay
I broke my heart in two
Having her or loving you
Pick a side I'll always lose
But I chose and now
I don't know what happened
I just let you go and I don't know the consequences
Pictures burn and scars still open up from all this madness
I can't tell no alibi to say why I have done this
Me, myself and I, too many people here to deal with
Rote-learn in my head all of the words to say "I'm sorry
Broken promises are not the unexpected from me"
I can't tell no alibi to say why I have done this
Me, myself and I, too many people here to deal with
Heart broken by the Bayside
I can't sleep tonight
I wish I had the cash to buy some xans and make this alright
Wonder what happened?
Girls I'm just bad to 'em
Give a couple days and I'd go stupid for the next one
Heart on the run
A player in this game
I'm hopeless with love
And no girls will make this change
I'll hold you in my arms but might
Choke you in my embrace so
Please help me God
I'm losing all my faith cos I don't know
I don't know what happened
I just let you go and I don't know the consequences
Pictures burn and scars still open up from all this madness
I can't tell no alibi to say why I have done this
Me, myself and I, too many people here to deal with
Rote-learn in my head all of the words to say "I'm sorry
Broken promises are not the unexpected from me"




I can't tell no alibi to say why I have done this
Me, myself and I, too many people here to deal with

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shy Jnr's song "Bayside" delve deep into the turmoil of a conflicted individual grappling with the aftermath of a relationship gone wrong. The singer expresses confusion and a sense of regret over letting go of someone without realizing the consequences that would follow. The imagery of burning pictures and open scars metaphorically conveys the lingering pain and emotional wounds caused by the past events, illustrating the lasting impact of their actions.


The repeated refrain of not having an alibi highlights the singer's struggle to justify their behavior and the inner conflict they face in trying to make sense of their actions. The line "Me, myself and I, too many people here to deal with" hints at a sense of internal chaos and perhaps a feeling of being overwhelmed by their own thoughts and emotions.


The mention of a split personality and multiple realities suggests a fractured sense of self and a battle between conflicting aspects of their personality. The reference to choosing between "the devil or the high sea" signifies the difficult decisions they are forced to make, with no clear option appearing favorable. This internal struggle is further emphasized with the lyrics "Pick a side I'll always lose, but I chose and now," illustrating the singer's anguish over past choices that have led to their current predicament.


The closing verses reveal a sense of self-awareness and vulnerability as the singer reflects on their shortcomings and struggles with love and relationships. The admission of being "hopeless with love" and the plea for divine intervention convey a profound sense of desperation and longing for redemption. The overall theme of the song revolves around regret, confusion, and the painful consequences of actions taken without full understanding, painting a poignant picture of a soul searching for solace amidst the chaos of emotional turmoil.
