Lyrics
They can’t erase the obvious
Recognition that certain truths cannot be erased or denied.
They can’t wipe away our consciousness
Acknowledgment that awareness and consciousness are resilient and enduring.
Maybe they are still louder than the softest of us
Suggesting that those opposing may be louder, but the soft-spoken have their own strength.
But maybe being soft is what makes us worthy of trust
Contemplation that gentleness and vulnerability contribute to earning trust.
So if they keep pushing
Introduction of a conflict or challenge that requires resilience.
Backwards
Emphasis on moving backward, possibly symbolizing regression or opposition.
Backwards
Reiteration of the backward movement, reinforcing its significance.
We will push
Declaration of the intent to resist and counteract the backward force.
Forward
Positive declaration to move forward despite challenges.
Forward
Reiteration of the commitment to progress and advance.
I don’t know how to raise my voice
Expressing difficulty in finding one's voice or speaking out.
Lately it seems so hard to act accordingly
Struggling to adhere to established principles in the face of challenges.
To the principles we put upon ourselves
Acknowledgment of self-imposed principles and values.
So when everything is already to loud
When the surroundings are too chaotic, the desire to withdraw and find peace.
I just want to shut everything out
Expressing a desire to block out external noise and distractions.
But I won’t sweep this truth under the rug
Commitment to facing and acknowledging the uncomfortable truth.
Because I’m the one who’s standing on it
Acceptance of responsibility for the truth and its consequences.
It’s already uncomfortable enough
Acknowledgment of discomfort but refusing to ignore the truth.
I’m sick and tired of this feeling
Expressing frustration and weariness with a prevailing emotion.
How my feet are growing roots
Sensations of being grounded or stuck, possibly symbolizing stagnation.
My body feels loose
Contrast between feeling rooted and physically loose, highlighting internal conflict.
I’m not sure of many things
Admission of uncertainty about various aspects of life.
But I know that we can’t stay here
Recognition that staying in the current situation is not beneficial.
It won’t do us no good if we only look
A call to action, emphasizing the need to move beyond observation.
Backwards
Reiteration of the backward movement, emphasizing its significance.
Backwards
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the resistance to regression.
We will push
Declaration to push forward in the face of backward forces.
Forward
Reaffirmation of the commitment to progress and move forward.
Forward
Emphasis on the ongoing journey toward advancement.
No, I don’t know how to go on from here
Expressing uncertainty about the future and how to proceed.
No, I don’t want to go back to sleep
Resistance to returning to a state of unawareness or indifference.
And stop caring just cause I can turn off TV
Rejecting apathy and the temptation to ignore important issues.
