Guilty
The Miracle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said I changed for the worse,
I've always remained the same
What the fuck do you really think of me?
You put yourself against my goals,
Against my beliefs,
But I'm walking straight
And I'll fight your prejudices
Have you ever asked me: "Why are you sad?"
Am I guilty for that
And I will try to stay true
To all of my friends,
I chose my way and I won't change it.
Too many years have passed,
But the memories will be forever in my heart,
Good or bad,
They're all the same important to me.
I remember the days
When we were walking together.
On the streets of this town
In my heart I will find my ideals
In my soul I will find myself.
The lyrics to The Miracle's song Guilty express feelings of frustration and defiance towards someone who is trying to bring the singer down. The singer feels judged and misunderstood by this person, and isn't sure what they think of them. Despite this, the singer asserts that they are staying true to themselves and their beliefs, and that they will fight against any prejudices that are directed towards them. The singer reminisces about their past experiences with this person, but ultimately concludes that their own ideals and sense of self are more important than anything else.
One possible interpretation of this song is that it is about the difficulties of remaining true to oneself in the face of criticism and judgement from others. The singer is frustrated by the fact that this person doesn't seem to understand them, and may feel guilty or ashamed for being who they are. However, the singer is also determined to stay true to themselves and their beliefs, and isn't willing to change who they are just to please someone else. Ultimately, the song is a reminder that we all have the power to choose our own paths in life, and that staying true to ourselves is the most important thing we can do.
