Shame
Reflections on Today: Confronting Humanity's Actions
Lyrics
There are not words to speak of
Expressing a lack of adequate words or vocabulary
There are not words to say
Emphasizing the inability to articulate thoughts
There are not songs to sing on
Highlighting the absence of suitable songs for certain moments
News days like today
Referencing the difficulty of finding appropriate expressions on challenging days
there's only time to carry
Implying the need for time to dispel inner doubts
These darkest doubts away
Suggesting the power of time to alleviate dark thoughts
There's only hope to cling to
Pointing to hope as a source of support in difficult times
On days like today
Emphasizing the reliance on hope during challenging days
should hang our heads in shame
Calling for a sense of guilt or remorse for collective actions
What we've done in god's name
Reflecting on actions carried out in the name of God
Should hang our heads in shame
Reiterating the need to feel shame for past actions
Only ourselves to blame
Attributing responsibility for wrongdoing to oneself
there are not dreams or feelings
Stating the inadequacy of dreams or emotions to capture certain experiences
That could seem to convey
Highlighting the difficulty of expressing certain feelings
There are not songs to sing on
Reiterating the absence of suitable songs for specific moments
News days like today
Repeating the challenge of finding appropriate expressions on tough days
should hang our heads in shame
Reiterating the call to feel shame for collective actions
What we've done in god's name
Continuing to reflect on actions carried out in the name of God
Should hang our heads in shame
Re-emphasizing the need to experience shame for past actions
Only ourselves to blame
Reinforcing the idea of personal accountability for mistakes
maybe I'm naive, I still believe in peace
Expressing a belief in peace despite potential naivety
