Unwelcoming
Surviving the Unwelcoming World
Lyrics
Hold my head high
Expressing determination and resilience by holding one's head high.
Hold my head high
Reiteration of the determination and strength to face challenges.
If I speak, will you surrender?
Pondering the consequences of speaking out and questioning if surrender is inevitable.
'Cause I've held my tongue too many times
Acknowledging a history of suppressing one's thoughts and emotions.
I can't breathe under the pressure
Feeling suffocated and overwhelmed by external pressures.
You know I've been sold too many lies
Highlighting the experience of being deceived multiple times.
I'm getting by in an unwelcoming world
Navigating and surviving in a hostile and unfriendly environment.
They've been looking for a stranger to burn
Suggesting a threat or hostility towards someone unfamiliar.
They've been whispering some dangerous words
Referring to the spread of harmful and potentially damaging words.
Oh, It's an unwelcoming world
Emphasizing the overall inhospitable nature of the world.
Hold my head high
Repeating the commitment to maintaining self-respect and strength.
Keep my eyes dry
Expressing the intention to remain emotionally composed despite challenges.
Long days, hard nights
Describing a period of enduring difficult and exhausting times.
It's an unwelcoming world
Reiterating the inhospitable nature of the world.
Hold my head high

Keep my eyes dry

Long days, hard nights

It's an unwelcoming world

I've been on the low
Describing a period of introspection or staying low-key.
Looking for the promised land
Searching for a better place or a metaphorical "promised land."
It's not really for me

Try your best to understand
