Lyrics

And where has innocence gone

Reflecting on the loss of innocence and its whereabouts.

Do we know too much

Questioning whether knowledge has compromised our innocence.

Are you comfortable in your skin

Asking about comfort and acceptance in one's own identity.

When does the strip begin

Seeking the point where societal norms and constraints begin.

All the words we are fed

Challenging the credibility of information we are fed.

And the need to belong

Recognizing the human need for connection and belonging.

Cause we can't get connected

Expressing difficulty in establishing meaningful connections.

Baby try

Encouraging effort to overcome challenges and connect.

Where has our innocence gone

Reiterating the theme of lost innocence.

We whisper and touch

Exploring the intimacy of whispering and physical touch.

It's like we should start again

Suggesting a desire for a fresh start in relationships.

When does the strip begin

Repeating the question about societal constraints.

Some are taken some are given

Highlighting the variability in life experiences, some taken, some given.

Building bridges for the living

Emphasizing the purpose of building connections for the living.

Some are taken some are given

Reiterating the diversity in life experiences.

There's nothing if the truth won't survive

Stressing the importance of truth for meaningful existence.


Where has your innocence gone

Posing the same question about lost innocence to the listener.

Do you just know too much

Repeating the theme of knowing too much and its consequences.

Are you comfortable in your skin

Reiterating the question about comfort in one's identity.

When does the strip begin

Repeating the inquiry about societal constraints.


Some are taken some are given

Recalling the variability in life experiences and the need for bridges.

Building bridges for the living

Reemphasizing the purpose of building connections for the living.

Some are taken some are given back

Stating that some experiences are given back, possibly referring to reciprocity.

There's nothing if the truth won't survive

Reiterating the significance of truth for a meaningful life.


Some days I am everything I hate

Expressing internal conflict and self-hatred on certain days.

There's nothing if the truth won't survive

-

Some days I am everything I hate

-

There's nothing if the truth won't survive

-

Some days I am everything I hate

-

There's nothing if the truth won't survive

-

Some are taken some are given

Reiterating the variability in life experiences and the need for bridges.

Building bridges for the living

Reemphasizing the purpose of building connections for the living.

Some are taken some are given back

Stating that some experiences are given back, possibly referring to reciprocity.

There's nothing if the truth don't survive

Reiterating the importance of truth for a meaningful life.


And where has innocence gone

Repeating the initial question about lost innocence.

Do you know too much

Asking whether the listener also knows too much.

Are you comfortable in your skin

Reiterating the question about comfort in one's identity.

When does the strip begin

Repeating the inquiry about societal constraints.
