The Promise and the Threat Lyrics

Lyric discussion by darkxoleander 

Cover art for The Promise and the Threat lyrics by Evans Blue

This song was paired up with Evans Blue's Cold and so the songs come full circle. I think the girl doesnt quite know who she is yet, in private shes different than she is in public hence the "when she came out, she brought her anger she left her sympathy behind the walls she built for me" shes also probably angered by the world for not accepting her for who she is or maybe angered that the world doesnt seem to accept their relationship. "you wouldn't want to let us go easy" maybe be that they know their perfect for each other but different forces are trying to split them apart but she wont let go with out a fight because she knows it is worth it. The guy on the other hand does dare for her but is more influenced by the outside world hence the line "you wouldn't want to let him down easy". Shes afraid to lose him so she tries to make as little mistakes as possible to hold on to him. Now the guys view comes into play with "I want you for who you are," saying that he does want this relationshipt to work out. But with the "something tells me love isn't enough" lyric hes saying that its hard and maybe the girl is unsure of what exactly shes striving for. "you're not so evil, I'm not so good" might mean that at first they thought they were very different from each other and that it wouldnt work out but now they find that they are similar and questioning on why the outside world says it wouldnt work out. But on the other hand they're starting to fight because both are so afraid of losing each other and to try to stick together they're threatening each other with "im leaving" but both know it isnt true when they say it and they wonder if and when it will be true

just on how i look at it =)
