Tears Of A Million People
Silent Echoes: Unveiling the Unspoken Story in Tears Of A Million People
Lyrics
I tend to wonder if these days would be different
I reflect on whether the present would be different.
And in what ways if we would have listened
Contemplating the potential changes if we had heeded advice.
If we did not (Shh) everything up
Regret about messing things up and the desire to keep it hush.
I would walk around this big city with pride
Imagining confidently navigating a large city.
The only reason I'm still here is what you left inside
Remaining in this place because of a lasting impact you left.
This heart that's seen it all committed
A heart that has experienced much and stayed committed.
The silence made us all complicit
Collective guilt in the face of silence.
Wise or wicked, who's to know
Uncertain about whether actions were wise or wicked.
Tears of a million people
Expressing the sorrowful emotions of a vast number of people.
Won't make a sound
Their pain goes unnoticed, unheard.
They'll drip in the endless sea of
Tears blending in an endless sea of self-doubt.
All the shameless self-doubt
A reflection on shameless self-doubt.
I know I'm exactly sure
A confident declaration of knowing for sure.
It's time for starting over
Recognizing the need for a fresh start.
If we're ever washed ashore
A call to action before succumbing to difficulties.
Before we drown here in this water
A metaphorical drowning in overwhelming circumstances.
Everything's broken, look at the people you adored
Observing the broken state of things and lost admiration.
They left you hopeless, and found a new place for our gold
People leaving, leaving one hopeless, finding new priorities.
Our future sleeps on the streets of Budapest
A symbolic portrayal of a bleak future in Budapest.
And slowly everybody leaves
Gradual abandonment by everyone.
They'll all forget the same lullabies
Shared forgetfulness of comforting melodies.
(No need to fix any checklist)
Disregard for fixing any checklist, embracing imperfection.
The same lullabies
Reiteration of the forgetfulness of familiar tunes.
(Everything's fine)
Asserting that everything is fine.
Inside this heartless place we chase the unremarkable
Pursuit of the ordinary within a seemingly heartless environment.
We broke down walls, and fiddled with keys at the door
Breaking barriers and tampering with the keys of opportunity.
Wise or wicked, who's the one to know, my dear?
Uncertainty about whether actions were wise or wicked.
There's only silence here
Emphasizing the prevailing silence.
Tears of a million people
Reiteration of the unnoticed tears of many.
Won't make a sound
Emphasizing the unheard cries of a multitude.
They'll drip in the endless sea of
Tears blending into a sea of self-doubt.
All the shameless self-doubt
A repetition of the theme of shameless self-doubt.
I know I'm exactly sure
Confidently asserting knowledge of the need for a fresh start.
It's time for starting over
Reiterating the recognition of the necessity for a new beginning.
If we're ever washed ashore
A call to action before succumbing to difficulties.
Before we drown here in this water
Metaphorically drowning in overwhelming circumstances.
Here's to a million people
A toast to the countless individuals worldwide.
All around the world, don't wait till
Urging action before being overwhelmed by silence.
The silence overwhelms you completely
Specific cities being called out, seeking acknowledgment.
London, Paris, Washington, can you hear me?
A direct question to the mentioned cities.
Can you hear me now?
A repetition of the question, seeking a response.
Can you hear me now?
A repeated inquiry, emphasizing the desire for acknowledgment.
Hey!
A direct call, seeking attention.
