Your Power
Navigating Power Dynamics: A Reflection on Choices and Consequences
Lyrics
Try not to abuse your power
Caution against misusing one's influence or authority
I know we didn't choose to change
Acknowledging that change is inevitable and not always chosen
You might not wanna lose your power
Warning not to relinquish power thoughtlessly
But having it's so strange
Reflecting on the strangeness of having power
She said you were a hero, you played the part
Someone praised the person as a hero, playing a role
But you ruined her in a year, don't act like it was hard
Highlighting how the person caused harm without difficulty
And you swear you didn't know (Didn't know)
Denial of awareness about the consequences
No wonder why you didn't ask
Questioning the lack of inquiry or concern
She was sleeping in your clothes (In your clothes)
Noticing the aftermath of the person's actions
But now she's got to get to class
Reference to the victim needing to attend class
How dare you?
Expressing indignation and disbelief
And how could you?
Raising a rhetorical question about the person's actions
Will you only feel bad when they find out?
Pondering if remorse only surfaces when exposed
If you could take it all back, would you?
Questioning if the person would undo their actions if possible
Try not to abuse your power
Reiteration of the warning against power abuse
I know we didn't choose to change
Acknowledging the inevitability of change
You might not wanna lose your power
Repeating the caution not to lose power recklessly
But having it's so strange
Reflecting on the peculiar nature of having power
I thought that I was special, you made me feel
Feeling deceived, thinking of oneself as special
Like it was my fault you were the devil, lost your appeal
Attributing fault to the person who caused disillusionment
Does it keep you in control? (In control)
Questioning if maintaining control justifies harmful actions
For you to keep her in a cage?
Asking if keeping someone confined serves a purpose
And you swear you didn't know (Didn't know)
Reiterating the denial of knowledge about the victim
You said you thought she was your age
Claiming a belief that the victim was of the same age
How dare you?
Expressing renewed indignation and disbelief
And how could you?
Posing another rhetorical question about the person's actions
Will you only feel bad if it turns out, that they kill your contract?
Speculating about remorse in the face of potential consequences
Would you?
Pondering if remorse would emerge in case of contractual repercussions
Try not to abuse your power
Reiteration of the warning against power abuse
I know we didn't choose to change
Reaffirming the acceptance of involuntary change
You might not wanna lose your power
Repeating the caution not to lose power thoughtlessly
But power isn't pain
Challenging the notion that power is devoid of pain
