Promises
Unveiling the Deception: Face to Face's Powerful Message in 'Promises'
Lyrics
What's the matter with my view?
Questioning the clarity or perspective of the situation.
Is it something less than you think it should be?
Asking if the current state is below expectations.
What's the matter with the truth?
Raising doubts about the existence of truth.
Is there any of it left for us to see?
Questioning if any truth remains visible or available.
That's not the way it is supposed to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
That's not the meaning of equality
Rejecting the current interpretation of equality.
I don't want promises
Declaring a lack of desire for empty commitments.
I don't want condescending words from you
Rejecting insincere or patronizing words from someone.
You can do most anything
Granting permission for actions, but with strict conditions.
As long as it's exactly how I say
Insisting on things being done exactly as instructed.
Opportunity is free
Stating that opportunities are available but not without a cost.
Just make sure that you have enough to pay
Emphasizing the need for adequate resources to seize opportunities.
So go on turn and walk away
Encouraging someone to leave the situation.
I guess there's nothing left to say
Conveying a sense of resignation or acceptance of a silent end.
I won't make the same mistakes
Committing to avoiding past errors or misjudgments.
Can't have it any other way
Insisting on a specific way of handling things.
I see no honesty in promises you make
Criticizing the lack of sincerity in promises made by others.
We've been too tolerant and something has to change
Acknowledging a need for change due to excessive tolerance.
