Betrayed Lyrics

Cover art for Betrayed lyrics by Metal Church

This track delves into the struggles of addiction and the internal battle many face. It depicts the daily challenges and consequences associated with substance abuse. Primarily though, the song uses alcohol to highlight how they're desperate to find something to stop the craving. A way to escape from the addiction and the need for something to fill the void left by the habit. The song goes on to warn us that what appears harmless on the surface can be rotten internally, representing the illusion of pleasure and escape offered by substance abuse. It leaves a warning to us that what seemed like good quick fun or an interesting experience you'd regret missing, is something that is bait that is used to draw you into a trap of addiction and self-destruction.
