Unsung Hero
Unsung Hero: Battling Trauma, Defying Silence
Lyrics
Trauma held my hand in the fire
Trauma has been a constant companion in difficult situations.
I won't play dead for you
I won't pretend to be defeated or submissive for you.
Trauma held my hand in the fire
Difficult experiences, symbolized by "fire," have been endured with trauma.
But my eyes can't burn through
Despite the challenges, my emotions or perspective remain unaffected.
(This heart of stone, buried under broken bones)
(Expressing resilience) My emotional toughness is concealed beneath a seemingly unyielding exterior, overshadowed by past hardships.
Have I not made myself clear
Asserting a lack of ambiguity or confusion in communication.
Does this line of fire have a clue of what I'm about to do?
Questioning if the challenges faced are understood and if there is awareness of subsequent actions.
Help holds little faith once this place sets off
Suggesting that support loses credibility once a critical point is reached.
There will be nothing left to rescue
Implying that once a certain event occurs, there will be no opportunity for rescue or intervention.
I'll give you reason to keep quiet
Promising to provide a compelling reason to remain silent.
A gun in your mouth talks quick to shut you up
Using the threat of violence to enforce silence and compliance.
No need for a clean getaway
Rejecting the idea of a smooth escape, indicating a chaotic and violent resolution.
This will end in a bloody mess
Foretelling a conclusion marked by bloodshed and chaos.
Hold your fire
Commanding to withhold any aggressive actions.
My hostage will not confess with what I've done
Indicating that the hostage will not reveal the speaker's actions under pressure.
You want me? Come get me
Challenging others to confront or apprehend the speaker.
I'm not coming out alive
Expressing a willingness to face danger without expecting to survive.
This heart of stone, buried under broken bones
Reiterating emotional resilience despite apparent physical or emotional damage.
