In Stereo
Resilience in Stereo
Lyrics
Ever had that dream
Reflecting on a dream or aspiration.
Ever thought that we'd all drown in symphony
Contemplating the possibility of everyone drowning together in a harmonious way.
After all was lost, after all was gone
After experiencing loss and defeat.
Never had the air, never had the air to breathe to begin again
Never having the opportunity to start afresh, lacking the necessary conditions.
That spite still cuts and that cut still hurts
Feeling the lingering impact of spite and emotional wounds.
You hold me down as words swirl 'round
Feeling restrained by someone while being surrounded by words.
I hear it all in stereo
Hearing and experiencing everything intensely, in a stereo-like manner.
I keep what's good
Choosing to retain what is positive and valuable.
To not give in, to not stand right where they stood
Resisting conformity and avoiding the mistakes of others.
Those sirens spit words of jealousy
Encountering negative influences portrayed as sirens.
Talking heads with small minds
Criticizing individuals with narrow and closed minds.
bringing heartbreak with one stroke of a reply
Causing heartbreak with a single negative response.
But we don't mind, we don't mind
Choosing not to be affected by negativity.
We've learned to laugh every single goddamned time
Developing resilience through laughter in the face of adversity.
Cause they'll never learn
Believing that certain individuals will never understand.
You hold me down as words swirl 'round
Feeling restrained again amid words and opinions.
I hear it all in stereo
Experiencing the intensity of the situation in a stereo-like manner.
I keep what's good
Choosing to keep positive aspects amidst negativity.
To not give in, to not stand right where they stood
Resisting the pressure to conform to negative influences.
Stand right where they stood
Emphasizing the importance of not standing where others have fallen.
to stand right where they stood
-to stand right where they stood
-You hold me down as words swirl 'round
Reiteration of feeling held down amid swirling words.
I hear it all in stereo
Continuing to experience everything intensely in stereo.
I keep what's good
Persisting in retaining positive elements despite challenges.
To not give in, to not stand right where they stood
Maintaining resistance against negative influences.
You hold me down as words swirl 'round
Repetition of feeling restrained by words.
as words swirl 'round
Emphasizing the persistence of words swirling around.
Oh, oh
An expressive moment, possibly a vocalization or exclamation.
To not give in, to not stand right where they stood
Reiterating the importance of not succumbing to negative influences.
