Our lips are sealed
Guarded Whispers: Unveiling the Power of Silence in Fun Boy Three's 'Our Lips Are Sealed'
Lyrics
Can you hear them talking 'bout us?
Reference to people gossiping about the speaker and someone else.
Telling lies, is that a surprise
Noting that lies being spread is not surprising to the speaker.
Can you see them? See right through them
Observing and seeing through the people spreading falsehoods.
They have a shield, nothing must be revealed
Describing the gossipers as having a shield to hide their secrets.
It doesn't matter what they say
Emphasizing that what others say doesn't matter.
No one listens anyway
Highlighting that nobody pays attention to the gossip.
Our lips are sealed
Declaring that the speaker and someone else will keep their secrets.
There's a weapon that we can use
Introducing the idea of using silence as a defense.
In our defense, silence
Stating that silence is a powerful tool for protection.
Well, just look at them, look right through them
Advising to see through gossipers, making them disappear.
That's when they disappear, that's when we lose the fear
Suggesting that fear is overcome when secrets are kept.
It doesn't matter what they say
Reiterating that others' words don't matter in the games of jealousy.
In the jealous games people play
Referencing the envy-driven games people play.
Our lips are sealed
Reaffirming the commitment to keeping secrets despite gossip.
It doesn't matter what they say
Repeating the idea that others' words have no significance.
No one's listening anyway
Asserting that nobody is paying attention to the gossip.
Our lips are sealed
Restating the commitment to keeping secrets.
Hush, my darling, don't you cry
Comforting someone, asking them not to be upset.
Guardian angel, forget their lies
Encouraging to forget the lies, invoking the concept of a guardian angel.
Can you hear them talking 'bout us?
Repeating the theme of people gossiping about the speaker and someone else.
Telling lies, well, that's not surprise
Emphasizing that lies being spread is not surprising to the speaker.
Can you see them? See right through them
Reiterating the ability to see through gossipers.
They have a shield, nothing must be revealed
Describing the gossipers as having a shield to hide their secrets.
It doesn't matter what they say
Reiterating that others' words don't matter in the games of jealousy.
In the jealous games people play
Referencing the envy-driven games people play.
Our lips are sealed
Reaffirming the commitment to keeping secrets despite gossip.
Pay no mind to what they say
Advising to ignore what others say since it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter anyway
Asserting that others' words have no significance.
Our lips are sealed
Reiterating the commitment to keeping secrets.
Our lips are sealed
Repeating the declaration that the speaker and someone else will keep their lips sealed.
Our lips are sealed
Final repetition of the commitment to keeping secrets.
