Lyrics
Can you hear them
There are people talking
They talk about us
Those people are discussing or gossiping about the speaker(s)
They're telling lies
They are spreading falsehoods or untruths
Well, that's no surprise
The lies being spread aren't unexpected
Can you see them
Can you perceive or notice those individuals
See right through them
To see through their intentions or deceptions
Yeah that happens to you
These situations have occurred for the listener as well
Nothing gets through for you
Nothing penetrates or affects the listener in these situations
Doesn't matter what they say
What others say doesn't impact the listener
In the jealous games people play
Referring to the manipulative or envious actions of people
Yes, our lips are sealed
Acknowledging that they are keeping secrets or not sharing information
When we walk by
When they pass by others
Then we must chose
The speaker(s) must make a decision or choice
In our defense
They opt to remain silent or not respond
Silence
The defense strategy chosen is silence
When you look at them
Observing or looking at those individuals
Look right through them
Seeing through their facades or deceptions
That's when they'll disappear
When the speaker(s) do this, those individuals disappear or lose power
That's when we'll be feared
At that moment, the speaker(s) become intimidating or formidable
Doesn't matter what they say
Reiteration that others' words don't affect the listener
In the jealous games people play
Referring again to manipulative or envious behaviors
Yes, our lips are sealed
Restating the secrecy or lack of sharing information
Pay no mind to what they say
Advising to ignore what others say
It doesn't matter anyway
Stressing that others' words hold no significance
Hey hey hey
An interjection or an attention-grabbing phrase
Our lips are sealed
Reiteration that they keep secrets or don't share information
Hush my darling, don't you cry
Comforting someone, asking them not to be upset
Quiet, angel, forget their lies
Asking someone to ignore false information or lies
Can you hear them
Reference to people talking again
They talk about us
They continue discussing or gossiping
Telling lies, telling lies
Still spreading lies
That's no surprise
Reiteration that the lies aren't surprising
Can you see them
To notice or perceive those individuals
See right through them
To see through their deceptions or intentions
Yeah that happens to you
Similar situations occur for the listener
Nothing gets through for you
Nothing affects or penetrates the listener in those situations
Doesn't matter what they say
Others' words have no impact on the listener
In the jealous games people play
Referring to manipulative or envious behaviors again
Yes, our lips are sealed
Reiteration of the secrecy or lack of sharing information
Pay no mind to what they say
Advice to disregard what others say
It doesn't matter anyway
Emphasizing again that others' words hold no importance
Hey hey hey
An interjection or an attention-grabbing phrase
Yes, our lips are sealed
Reaffirmation of the secrecy or lack of sharing information
