State Your Peace
State Your Peace: Unveiling Life's Truths Through Hootie & the Blowfish
Lyrics
Why am I always the last one to say how I feel
Expressing frustration at consistently being the last to communicate emotions.
It's like driving down the middle of the road with no hands on the wheel
Metaphorically describing a lack of control in life, akin to reckless driving.
And I keep hearing stories about the guy who was killed while he prayed
Referencing a story of someone killed while praying, suggesting the unpredictability of life.
Well you should go ahead and say it 'cause we're all gonna die anyway
Encouraging open expression since death is inevitable for everyone.
State your peace, go ahead and say it
Encouraging others to speak their minds and express themselves.
I swear it can't get much worse
Acknowledging that the situation can't worsen and urging honesty.
Make a piece of history, a blessing from a curse
Suggesting the creation of a significant moment, deriving positivity from negativity.
Before it gets worse
Emphasizing the importance of addressing issues before they escalate.
You can try and be a hero but people keep dying everyday
Highlighting the challenges of being a hero amidst the ongoing loss of lives.
You can keep earning money but your money keeps burning away
Noting the impermanence of wealth, as money seems to vanish over time.
And it feels like the future's always waiting on the tip of my tongue
Expressing a sense of anticipation for the future, feeling like it's always on the brink.
Oh, like a cat holding back 'till it's too late the damage is done
Comparing the anticipation to a cat holding back until it's too late.
State your peace, go ahead and say it
Reiterating the call for open expression and honesty.
I swear it can't get much worse
Reassuring that the situation can't deteriorate further if one speaks their mind.
Make a piece of history, a blessing from a curse
Suggesting the creation of a positive impact from a negative situation.
Before it gets worse
Emphasizing the urgency of addressing issues before they worsen.
You can try and change the world by showing everyone a better way
Encouraging efforts to change the world by setting a positive example.
But the world's gonna do what the world's gonna do at the end of the day
Recognizing the inevitability of the world's actions regardless of individual efforts.
State your peace, go ahead and say it
Reiterating the importance of expressing oneself openly and honestly.
I swear it can't get much worse
Expressing confidence that things can't worsen when one speaks their truth.
Make your peace with history, a blessing from a curse
Suggesting making peace with one's own history for a positive transformation.
State your peace; blow it wide open
Urging a bold and open expression, potentially leading to significant change.
Did you find you an oyster pearl
Posing a question about finding something valuable (oyster pearl) in one's experiences.
Make your peace with history
Repeating the idea of making peace with personal history for positive change.
You just might be the one who can change the world
Suggesting that an individual might have the power to positively impact the world.
Can you save the world
Pondering the possibility of saving or changing the world through personal actions.
You can change the world
Reiterating the potential for individual actions to influence positive change globally.
