Song Meaning of “Betrayed” by Midnight Bullet
Verse 1:
Let us start off with a new beginning
This is not the life we chose, we’ve been deceived
Feels like I’m living in a world that keeps spinning
We can’t survive the pain, it’s been betrayed
Chorus:
Betrayed by those who said they’d never let us down
Betrayed by those who said they’d always be around
Tried to take us for a ride, but left us standing in the dust
We’re never gonna be the same, we’ve been betrayed
Verse 2:
We can’t go back to how it all began
We saw the truth behind their lies, they’ve been exposed
Trying to hold onto what little we can
But it’s another bridge that’s been defaced
Chorus:
Betrayed by those who said they’d never let us down
Betrayed by those who said they’d always be around
Tried to take us for a ride, but left us standing in the dust
We’re never gonna be the same, we’ve been betrayed
Bridge:
No more living in fear of this broken world
We must open our eyes and see what the truth unfurls
Chorus:
Betrayed by those who said they’d never let us down
Betrayed by those who said they’d always be around
Tried to take us for a ride, but left us standing in the dust
We’re never gonna be the same, we’ve been betrayed
Song Meaning/Interpretation:
This song is about being betrayed by people we thought would never hurt us. We are left feeling confused and hurt by the deceit and lies of these people. The chorus is lamenting the empty promises they made, how they completely changed and left us standing in the dust, and how our lives have been completely changed by the betrayal. The bridge is encouraging us to use this experience to become stronger and see the truth about the world around us so we can never experience this feeling again. In the end, we learn to never trust people who offer us empty promises because instead of being taken for a ride, we will only be left betrayed.
