Won't Stay Quiet
Breaking Chains: Embracing Authenticity with Gabrielle Taryn's 'Won't Stay Quiet'
Lyrics
I used to try to fit the mold
I used to conform to societal expectations or norms.
Pretending that I don't have a clue
Pretending to be unaware or ignorant.
Second guess the thoughts in my head
Doubting and questioning my own thoughts.
Mute myself trying to please you
Suppressing my true self in an attempt to please others.
Walking on eggshells
Walking cautiously, afraid of making mistakes.
Going through hell
Enduring a challenging and difficult experience.
I'm done trying to keep the peace
No longer attempting to maintain harmony at any cost.
I can't be who you want me to be
Rejecting the pressure to conform to others' expectations.
I won't stop now you're gonna hear me
Determined to express myself, and my voice will be heard.
I won't back down not disappearing
Resolute and not willing to fade away or disappear.
Not trying to start a riot but I won't stay quiet
Not seeking conflict but refusing to remain silent.
Not trying to start a riot but I won't stay quiet
Reiteration of the refusal to stay silent and provoke.
I'm tired of trying to be someone else
Frustration with the effort to be someone I'm not.
Not gonna tiptoe around
Not avoiding difficult situations or topics.
Disguise is gone I'm showing myself
Discarding the disguise and revealing my true self.
Finally feeling free to be loud
Feeling liberated and unrestricted, embracing loudness.
Walking on eggshells
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the fear of causing conflict.
Going through hell
Reiteration of enduring a challenging experience.
I'm done trying to keep the peace
Echoing the decision to prioritize authenticity over peacekeeping.
I can't be who you want me to be
Reaffirming the rejection of external expectations.
I won't stop now you're gonna hear me
Repeating the determination to make my voice heard.
I won't back down not disappearing
Emphasizing resilience and refusal to fade away.
I won't stop now you're gonna hear me
Reiteration of the commitment to vocal self-expression.
I won't back down not disappearing
Restating the resolve to stand firm and not vanish.
Not trying to start a riot but I won't stay quiet
Emphasizing the refusal to stay silent and provoke unrest.
Not trying to start a riot but I won't stay quiet
Reiteration of the rejection of silence and embrace of expression.
Not trying to start a riot but I won't stay quiet
Continued emphasis on refusing to stay silent.
I won't stop now you're gonna hear me
Repeating the determination to ensure that my voice is heard.
