Impartiality
Unmasking Truth: Ester Faye's Call for Justice in 'Impartiality'
Lyrics
Have you read the paper?
Asking if you've read the news.
Do you see the signs?
Questioning if you notice the indications or warnings.
Polarize the masses
Causing division among the general population.
Read between the lines
Understanding the hidden or implicit messages.
All just academics
Everything seems like intellectual discussion.
Have a good debate
Suggesting engaging in constructive arguments.
Are those people people?
Questioning the humanity of certain groups.
Go on conversate
Encouraging conversation or dialogue.
Think you're entitled to decide who lives or dies and yet you say we're the disgrace
Believing in the right to decide who lives or dies, despite being labeled as disgraceful.
Tell us to justify our rights just one more time there's only so much we can take
Being repeatedly asked to defend rights, feeling the pressure and limits.
Impartiality ain't enough for me
Expressing dissatisfaction with impartiality.
Our harsh reality won't make your screens
The harsh realities faced won't be portrayed accurately on screens.
Platforming hate's not free
Highlighting that providing a platform for hate speech isn't cost-free.
Free press getting pressed for creed
The free press faces pressure and scrutiny based on beliefs or principles.
Discuss our misery with frivolity
Talking about serious issues but in a trivial or light manner.
But it's not a fantasy for the likes of me
For some, the difficult situations are not just imagination but reality.
They say gotta keep it balanced
Being urged to maintain a balanced perspective.
Cool calm and controlled
Staying composed and in control despite circumstances.
That's just their opinion
Challenging the notion that some opinions should not be shared.
Can't leave it untold
Not allowing certain issues to remain undisclosed or hidden.
Think you can broadcast hateful lies and just stand by like right and wrong's up for debate
Questioning the broadcasting of lies and the perception of moral ambiguity.
Tell me to dignify these lies just one more time there's only so much I can take
Feeling exasperated by the repeated demand to legitimize falsehoods.
Impartiality ain't enough for me
Expressing discontent with the limitations of impartiality.
Our harsh reality won't make your screens
Realizing that the harsh realities faced won't be adequately depicted in media.
Platforming hate's not free
Emphasizing that providing a platform for hate speech comes with consequences.
Free press getting pressed for creed
The media faces pressure due to their stance or creed.
Discuss our misery with frivolity
Discussing serious issues in a superficial or trivial way.
But it's not a fantasy for the likes of me
For some individuals, the harsh reality is their everyday life.
If push back's a weapon who's left to defend them
Reflecting on the consequences of pushing back against certain narratives or beliefs.
When we're starved and desperate then
When deprived and in dire need, who will protect or support them?
What will you tell them more neutral amendments?
Asking about additional neutral modifications or changes to the situation.
What will you tell them?
Repeating the question of what will be communicated.
What will you tell them?
-YEAH WHAT WILL YOU TELL THEM?
Emphasizing the urgency of knowing what will be conveyed.
Impartiality ain't enough for me
Expressing discontent with the limitations of impartiality.
Our harsh reality won't make your screens
Realizing that the harsh realities faced won't be adequately depicted in media.
Platforming hate's not free
Emphasizing that providing a platform for hate speech comes with consequences.
Free press getting pressed for creed
The media faces pressure due to their stance or creed.
Discuss our misery with frivolity
Discussing serious issues in a superficial or trivial way.
But it's not a fantasy for the likes of me
For some individuals, the harsh reality is their everyday life.
