Lyrics
Someone's banging on the echo chamber door
Someone is seeking entry into an environment filled with repetitive and reinforcing ideas.
If it opens the voices will lose their renowned candour
If the entry is allowed, the authenticity of the voices within will be compromised.
Images of violence worn proudly on a puffed out chest
Imagery of aggression proudly displayed with a sense of arrogance.
Legendary tolerance oversold at best
The widely promoted tolerance is not genuine and is exaggerated at best.
No solace in the silence
There is no comfort or relief in silence.
No justice in the quiet
Justice cannot be found in quietness.
When they survive in shadows
Survival occurs in the hidden and unnoticed aspects, away from public scrutiny.
Cast by statues in the daylight
Shadows created by statues in broad daylight conceal certain realities.
Short sighted
Having a limited perspective or lacking foresight.
Shorter memory
Memory that is easily forgetful or selective.
Ignorant underdog
Someone underestimated or overlooked due to lack of knowledge.
You're barking so loud
Expressing opinions loudly without understanding the full context.
Ignorant underdog
Reiterating the idea of being an underestimated outsider.
You make me wonder
Eliciting curiosity and doubt about the speaker's own existence or purpose.
Am I living in a nation worth saving
Questioning the value of living in a nation that may not be worth preserving.
Appeal to purity
Urging to strive for moral and ethical purity.
Have you ever considered you're not as special as you think
Suggesting self-awareness by questioning one's uniqueness or exceptional status.
You're no exception
Rejecting the notion of being an exception to the rule or norm.
You think you're defined by a line in the sand
Believing one's identity is determined by arbitrary boundaries.
The misperceived grace of your homeland
The perceived goodness of one's homeland based on misconceptions.
A free thinker until you're forced to face up to your own reflection
Being a free thinker until confronted with one's own flaws and reality.
No solace in the silence
Reiterating the lack of comfort or relief in silence.
No justice in the quiet
Emphasizing the absence of justice in quietness.
When they survive in shadows
Surviving in hidden aspects, shielded by statues in daylight.
Cast by statues in the daylight
Reiterating the concealment of truth by established symbols in the light.
No solace
Repeating the absence of comfort or relief.
No justice
Repeating the absence of justice.
Just a tree that never grows
Symbolizing stagnation, a tree that never grows.
Just a bird that never sings
Symbolizing a lack of expression or freedom, a bird that never sings.
No solace
Reiterating the absence of comfort or relief.
No justice
Reiterating the absence of justice.
Just a fish that never swims
Symbolizing restriction or confinement, a fish that never swims.
Just a bell that never rings
Symbolizing a lack of meaningful communication, a bell that never rings.
