About Guilty

"Guilty" is a haunting song about guilt and remorse. The lyrics describe a dream in which the protagonist has committed a terrible act - killing a dog and leaving it to die. She admits that she is guilty and that people know what she has done, and that she feels troubled and unforgiven. This feeling is reinforced by the repeated chorus "Guilty on the run, and I'm never forgiven". The protagonist reflects on her childhood, suggesting that her guilt stems from unresolved issues with her father. .

Guilty Lyrics

[00:08.68] I was dreaming something dark
[00:13.00] Hiding body parts
[00:15.73] A broken dog, a broken leg
[00:19.27] I left it cold, I left it dead
[00:23.26] Oh I'm a guilty one
[00:27.36] And know what I have done
[00:30.31] Yeah, I'm a troubled one
[00:33.84] And I won't be forgiven
[00:38.82] Guilty on the run
[00:41.97] And I know what I have done
[00:46.11] Guilty on the run
[00:49.35] And I'm never forgiven
[00:52.18] I was just a kid
[00:53.33] That you could not forgive
[00:54.89] Because it's harder
[00:59.65] I was just a kid
[01:00.86] And all I really wanted
[01:02.31] Was my father
[01:05.22]
[01:08.89] I killed a dog so smart and rare
[01:14.58] Touched his techni-coloured hair
[01:18.29] I left it bruised and black and lame
[01:22.11] I left it running full of shame
[01:26.10] Oh I'm a guilty one
[01:29.82] And know what I have done
[01:33.89] Yeah, I'm a troubled one
[01:37.46] And I won't be forgiven
[01:41.22] Guilty on the run
[01:44.23] And I know what I have done
[01:48.45] Guilty on the run
[01:52.10] And I'm never forgiven
[01:54.81] I was just a kid
[01:56.14] That you could not forgive
[01:57.60] Because it's harder
[02:02.14] I was just a kid
[02:03.52] And all I really wanted
[02:05.07] Was my father
[02:07.68]
[02:10.11] Spent years singing to forget, (to forget)
[02:17.73] Spent years singing, "no regret"
[02:24.62] Then suddenly it all becomes clear
[02:32.53] I've been sorry all these years
[02:40.11]
[02:46.41] I was just a kid
[02:48.24] That you could not forgive
[02:49.48] Because it's harder
[02:53.90] I was just a kid
[02:55.48] And all I really wanted
[02:56.98] Was my father
[03:00.85] Guilty on the run
[03:05.94] And I know what I have done
[03:09.99] Guilty on the run
[03:13.44] And I'm never forgiven
[03:16.71] Guilty on the run
[03:20.99] And I know what I have done
[03:24.85] Guilty on the run
[03:28.22] And I'm never forgiven
[03:30.11]
