Silent Scream: Jo Davidson's Poignant Reflection on Media, Lies, and Deafening Truth
Lyrics
Well I can't blame the rain
Expressing inability to blame the rain for personal pain.
For all of my pain
Continuation of not attributing pain to external factors like rain.
And I can't blame the clouds
Unwillingness to blame clouds for life's challenges.
And I can't blame the sky
Declining to blame the sky for difficulties.
Or be jealous of the birds that
Rejecting jealousy towards birds that can fly freely.
Fly
Continuation of expressing detachment from enviable aspects of nature.
Does anybody hear me
Pleading for acknowledgment or understanding from others.
Does anybody hear me
Repetition of the plea for someone to listen and understand.
Because I don't
Declaring a lack of belief that anyone is listening.
Because I lost my hearing long ago
Claiming a loss of hearing metaphorically, not physically.
From the media bombs going off in my living room
Attributing hearing loss to the impact of media explosions in the living room.
Lies on the TV
Pointing out lies on television as a source of deception.
Lies in the movies
Highlighting falsehoods present in movies.
Lies on the billboards
Noting lies on billboards contributing to a lack of truth.
Nobody tells the truth
Emphasizing a general absence of truth in society.
I'm going deaf
Reiterating the metaphorical deafness due to the overwhelming deception.
Does anybody hear me
Repeating the plea for understanding or acknowledgment.
Does anybody hear
Reiterating the question of whether anyone is truly listening.
Because I don't
Reiterating the skepticism about being heard.
I'm tired of all the violence
Expressing weariness with violence in the world.
We've lost lives enough
Stating that there have been enough losses of lives.
And I'm tired of all the nudity, so much sex without love
Expressing fatigue with the prevalence of sex without love in media.
And I'm tired of all the smokers blowing smoke in my face
Tiredness with smokers and their impact on personal space.
And the same old boring models decorating every fashion page
Frustration with the repetitive use of similar models in the fashion industry.
I don't trust the politicians
Declining trust in politicians.
Or the movie ratings board
Distrust in the movie ratings board.
And I'm tired of fighting all these inner and outer wars
Fatigue from both internal and external conflicts.
I've got bullets in my head
Mention of inner struggles, metaphorically described as bullets in the head.
I've got blood in my ears
Symbolic presence of blood in the ears, signifying exposure to harsh truths.
And the world could drown from the truth that's in my tears
Indicating that the world could suffer from the truth expressed through tears.
Does anybody hear me
Repeating the plea for understanding or acknowledgment.
Does anybody hear
Reiterating the question of whether anyone is truly listening.
Because I don't because I...
Reiterating the skepticism about being heard, concluding the expression of frustration.
