Lyrics
Read the writing on the wall
Acknowledgment to pay attention to the obvious signs or warnings.
It's clear to see for one and all
It's evident and understandable to everyone.
yeah, lockstep followers will fall
People who unquestioningly follow others will face downfall.
to their knees when they're ordered to crawl
They'll submit and obey when told to do so.
But here I am
Despite the situation, the singer is present.
And here I stand
The singer is resolute in their position.
This is the end
Indicates that this marks the conclusion.
Of The Quiet Man
The end of the persona as 'The Quiet Man'.
Now don't you think that I don't know
The singer is aware of things despite not following the same path as others.
Because I don't go the way you go
They diverge from the expected or conventional path.
Yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it all
The singer comprehends the situation fully.
How you're arrogance has taken hold
Highlighting how pride and superiority have seized control.
You lock your lips you build a wall
Shutting oneself off and creating barriers.
Now use your words to make it fall
Suggesting to break down these barriers using communication.
So here I am
The persona reaffirms their presence in the situation.
And here I stand
Steadfast in their stance despite circumstances.
Yeah here I am
Repeated assertion of their presence and position.
And here I stand
Emphasizing their resilience and standing.
This is the end
Reiterating that this marks the conclusion or the end.
This is the end
Reinforcing the idea that a transformation has occurred, no longer the same as before.
I no longer am
The persona has shed the identity of 'The Quiet Man'.
The Quiet Man
A final declaration of the persona's transformation and departure from being quiet or submissive.
