Guilty
The Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My words are empty
No signs to give you
I don't have the time for you
You say I'm heartless
And you say I don't care
I used to be there for you
But so have you
Guilty, guilty I feel so
Empty, empty you know how to make me feel
I put a shield upon you
I didn't mean to hurt you
I would have only poisoned your mind
Never meant to make you cry
You've been so thoughtless
I can see right through you
You used to be there for me
So don't you leave say goodbye
Cause you have changed but so have I
I never thought that the time and the distance
Between us made you so much colder
I'll carry the world on my shoulders
The lyrics to The Rasmus's song Guilty convey a sense of remorse and regret from the singer who admits to feeling guilty for not being able to give enough time and attention to their partner. The opening line "I feel guilty, my words are empty, no signs to give you" suggests a lack of communication and emotional expression from the singer towards their partner. The next line "I don't have the time for you" further emphasizes the singer's busy and distracted state, creating a sense of disconnect with their significant other.
The second verse sees the partner accusing the singer of being heartless and uncaring. The singer acknowledges that the partner used to be there for them but now they seem dead and have changed, implying a sense of disappointment in the relationship. The chorus "Guilty, guilty I feel so, empty, empty you know how to make me feel" expresses the singer's remorse and the empty feeling that comes from neglecting their partner.
The bridge sees the singer taking responsibility for the hurt caused, saying "I put a shield upon you, I didn't mean to hurt you". The singer recognizes that their actions have had consequences, but they never intended to intentionally hurt their partner. The final lines of the song "I'll carry the world on my shoulders" suggest a willingness to take responsibility and make amends for their behavior.
Overall, "Guilty" portrays a sense of regret and remorse for a neglected relationship. The lyrics are introspective and convey a sense of personal accountability for the singer's actions.
