Adding To The Noise
Finding Voice in Silence: Karma Queen's Reflections on Noise
Lyrics
Do I really have a voice
Questioning the existence and impact of one's voice.
Or am I just
Contemplating whether the voice is significant or merely contributing to the surrounding noise.
Adding to the noise
Expressing concern about being part of the background noise rather than making a meaningful contribution.
I'm your projector screen
Describing oneself as a medium for others to project their expectations and perceptions onto.
Put what you want to see
Acknowledging the role of being a canvas for others to impose their desires and beliefs.
On me
Accepting the projection of various roles, whether a hero or villain.
The hero or the villain of the scene
Recognizing that others may perceive only two extremes - hero or villain.
That's all you see in me
Reflecting on the limited perspective others have of the speaker.
Could I just
Expressing a desire to have a smaller impact or presence.
Take a little less
Advocating for reducing personal influence and giving more to others.
Give a little more
Encouraging a shift towards generosity and empathy.
Patience wearing thin
Indicating impatience and frustration.
Tempers wearing out
Describing a state where tempers are wearing thin and patience is running out.
Yelling into the closed door
Conveying frustration by yelling at a metaphorical closed door.
Do I have a voice
Reiterating the question about the existence and impact of one's voice.
Or am I just
Repeating the concern about contributing to the noise.
Adding to the noise
Reiterating the fear of being part of background noise.
You could
Introducing the idea of setting the world on fire but questioning its validity.
Go and set the world on fire
Suggesting a desire for significant achievement and impact.
But your brain's still calling you a liar
Highlighting self-doubt and inner criticism despite outward success.
Saying there's no getting higher
Imagining a scenario where reaching higher goals is doubted.
Than you were before
Comparing current achievements to past levels of success.
Could You just take a little less
Asking others to reduce their impact and give more.
Give a little more
Advocating for increased patience and empathy.
Patience wearing thin
Repeating the theme of diminishing patience and escalating tempers.
Tempers wearing out
Describing frustration by yelling at a closed door.
Yelling into the closed door
Repeating the scenario of yelling into a closed door.
Do you really have a voice
Posing the same question about the existence and impact of one's voice, addressing others.
Or are you just
Asking others if they are merely contributing to the noise.
Adding to the noise
Questioning the significance of others' voices.
Are we good
Pondering the state of the relationship - whether it's genuinely good or just inflated.
Are we just gassed up
Wondering if the positive feelings are genuine or artificially boosted.
From the years of being passed up
Reflecting on the impact of being overlooked for years.
Is trying to stand up a waste of time
Questioning the value of efforts to assert oneself.
Can we just take a little less
Encouraging a collective reduction of impact and increase in generosity.
Give a little more
Advocating for more giving and less taking in relationships.
Patience wearing thin
Repeating the theme of diminishing patience and escalating tempers.
Tempers wearing out
Describing frustration by yelling at a closed door.
Yelling into the closed door
Repeating the scenario of yelling into a closed door.
Do we have a voice
Reiterating the question about the existence and impact of collective voices.
Or are we just
Repeating the concern about contributing to the collective noise.
Adding to the noise
Reiterating the fear of the collective being part of background noise.
Adding to the noise
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of adding to the noise.
