Stand Your Ground
Unveiling Shadows: Stand Your Ground with Ashes for Dreams
Lyrics
Want to tell me what you saw
Inviting the listener to share their experiences or observations
What made you scared, what made you crawl
Asking about the causes of fear and vulnerability
Under the covers and hide your eyes
Describing the act of seeking refuge by hiding
You keep it bottled up inside
Addressing the tendency to internalize emotions
It might be better to confide
Suggesting the potential benefits of opening up and sharing
Let me discover what made you cry
Expressing a desire to understand the source of pain
What was said to seal your lips
Inquiring about the reasons for silence and restraint
What kind of threats what kind of tricks
Asking about possible threats and manipulative tactics
What rules were broken, and how
Seeking clarification on rules that were violated
Was there solidarity
Questioning the presence of support and unity
Any plans to break free
Exploring the idea of breaking free from a difficult situation
Even unspoken, even now
Acknowledging unspoken challenges and burdens
Shout out, shout loud, shout now
Encouraging the expression of emotions
You're allowed, stand your ground
Empowering the listener to stand their ground
Stand your ground
Reiterating the importance of holding one's position
How do you sleep
Questioning the quality of sleep and emotional well-being
Do you have something that can help
Inquiring about coping mechanisms for inner demons
To keep The demons at bay
Referencing the struggle against internal struggles
Do you twist and do you turn
Asking about physical and emotional reactions to stress
Do you shiver do you burn
Exploring the emotional toll of difficult experiences
As you count the hours away
Counting hours suggests waiting or enduring difficulties
And does the distance help
Considering whether physical distance provides relief
With every day and every step
Reflecting on the passage of time and its impact
That brings you further from harm
Questioning the effectiveness of distancing from harm
Can you take the weight
Asking if one can bear the burden of emotional weight
Or is the damage too great
Exploring the potential irreparable damage
As you try to carry on
Addressing the challenge of carrying on despite difficulties
Shout out, shout loud, shout now
Reiterating the call for vocal expression and empowerment
You're allowed, stand your ground
Encouraging the listener to stand firm and assert themselves
Stand your ground
Emphasizing the importance of holding one's ground
I hear that speaking out is a sin
Commenting on societal taboos surrounding speaking out
I see the bruises on the skin
Observing physical evidence of resistance and defiance
Of those who dare to take a stance
Recognizing the challenges faced by those who take a stand
You look to me and then behind
Noting the cautious approach to examining one's surroundings
Afraid that you will find
Fearing that acts of kindness may have hidden motives
That every kindness is a trap
Expressing the complexity of trust and vulnerability
Want to tell me what you saw
Repeating the initial invitation to share experiences
What made you scared, what made you crawl
Reiterating the inquiry into sources of fear and vulnerability
Under the covers and hide your eyes
Echoing the theme of seeking refuge and hiding
You keep it bottled up inside
Repeating the notion of internalizing emotions
It might be better to confide
Reiterating the potential benefits of sharing
Let me discover what made you cry
Restating the desire to understand the source of pain
Shout out, shout loud, shout now
Emphasizing the call for vocal expression and empowerment
You're allowed, stand your ground
Reiterating the encouragement to stand firm and assert oneself
Shout out, shout loud, shout now
Repeating the call for vocal expression and empowerment
You're allowed, stand your ground
Reiterating the encouragement to stand firm and assert oneself
Stand your ground
Final reinforcement of the importance of holding one's ground
