A haunting exploration of the human tendency to seek a scapegoat for one's mistakes and issues, 'Scapegoat' captures the essence of internal conflict and the desire to escape consequences and guilt. This poignant song navigates the emotional landscape of blame, responsibility, and the pursuit of absolution.
Verse 1:
In the mirror, I see my reflection,
A face that hides from its own direction.
Whispers echo, the blame is clear,
Pointing fingers, what do I fear?
Chorus:
I’m searching for a scapegoat,
Someone to carry my load,
In a world where I’m the villain,
I’ll let others share the road.
Verse 2:
Every choice I made, it weighs like stone,
Each misstep dragging me down alone.
I’ll look away while they take the fall,
A shadow dancer in this blame-filled hall.
Chorus:
I’m searching for a scapegoat,
Someone to carry my load,
In a world where I’m the villain,
I’ll let others share the road.
Bridge:
But deep inside, the truth still lingers,
Clawing at me with its cold fingers.
Escape the guilt, will it ever cease?
If I run away, will I find peace?
Verse 3:
Dancing in circles, chasing a lie,
Blaming the moon for the darkness in the sky.
But when the storm settles, and silence reigns,
I’m left alone with my self-inflicted pains.
Chorus:
I’m searching for a scapegoat,
Someone to carry my load,
In a world where I’m the villain,
I’ll let others share the road.
Outro:
So I’ll keep searching, cast my net wide,
Hoping to trap the guilt where I can hide.
But in racing shadows, I might find
The only scapegoat, is within my own mind.
