SOCIAL DISTORTION

- I Was Wrong Lyrics

When I was young, I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
The world fought back, punished me for my sins

I felt so alone, so insecure
I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realized now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves, well I've had a few
I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too
I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf
Now how can you love me when you don't love yourself

It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
The world fought back, punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realized now that I was wrong

I was wrong, yeah
I was wrong

I grew up fast, I grew up hard
Something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything
But the only one that I hurt was me

I got society's blood running down my face
Somebody help me get outta this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long
Until I realized that I was wrong

I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realized now that I was wrong

I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
The only one that I hurt was me

I was wrong

When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, Social Distortion's 'I Was Wrong' has an agenda of looking back at the past, including the mistakes made, the regrets felt, and the moment of realizing one's self. The song also lays out the human themes of self-sabotage, love lost, and the not-so-great experience of being unloving to oneself. The message of the lyrics is a tough one but it's hard to miss: hoping for the best while humbly recognizing one's own faults, and finally accepting one's power over his/her life and those around him/her as well. The bulk of the I was wrong lyrics revolves around introspection, torment, love, the loneliness of the heart, and despair. Besides, the music brings out the idea that self-reflection and remorse, fighting and isolation, and even self-destructive acts are to be dealt with. The lines depict the inner turmoil of losing oneself, struggling for a glimpse of the good side, and suffering the heart pain along the way which definitely is not a topic for kids below 13. The allusions to feeling insecure, being blamed, and suffering the consequences of one's actions all point to a very mature level of emotional world that is better navigated with parental guidance.
