Betrayal Song

Can you see what i hide behind my eyes?
Behind yours is filled with lies,
I always thought to trust was to gain,
but you’re the one who drives me insane,
Behind my eyes is a bit of hope,
I wish you could see, I’m trying to cope,
You were the one who betrayed me.
Its you who’s to blame, yes you plead.
You plead forgiveness, to forget the past,
But it won’t escape from my mind – not that fast.
Can you see what i hide behind my eyes?
Behind yours is filled with lies…
This poem relates to betrayal because when Brutus kills Caesar, he asks everyone for forgiveness and that he was doing the right thing. Antony was really close to Caesar and felt Brutus betrayed Caesar because they were also close. Antony gives a speech to the public saying that Brutus was an honorable man. Toward the end of the speech, the meaning Antony has behind “honorable man” is completely different. He wasn’t going to forget what Brutus did.
Antony doesn’t want everyone to forget about what happened to one of his dear friends. He wants Brutus to be punished for his actions. When Brutus kills Caesar, he tries to justify the murder and betrayal of a friend. Cassius goes behind Brutus’ back and is sending him letters and acts like it’s not him. If Brutus wasn’t so into proving he was in the right, he would have known.
