Lyrics
And I hide myself so
The speaker conceals themselves intentionally.
I can't be found, yes I break in my
The speaker avoids being discovered or understood.
Trying to i keep this up figuring I squeeze
The speaker attempts to maintain a facade, struggling to conform.
Into shoes that clearly don't fit at all
The speaker feels out of place, trying to fit into inappropriate situations.
You can scream, you can shout
Expressing the option to vent emotions but advising against it.
But please don't let it out
Emphasizing the need to control emotions rather than expressing them.
In front of the children
Warning against emotional outbursts in the presence of children.
In front of the children
-This is all counterfeit
Acknowledging a facade or deception in the speaker's life.
But just don't let it slip
Advising to maintain the deception without revealing it.
In front of the children
Reiterating the caution about emotional expression in front of children.
In front of the children
-Is there a time, a place don't ask
Questioning the appropriateness of asking about a specific time or place.
Where she said hiding your face in the soul
Describing a moment where someone advised hiding one's face within the soul.
Oh, we carry on with a smile so gentle
Continuing to carry on with a seemingly happy demeanor despite inner struggles.
With the weight of the gun
Carrying the burden of a metaphorical "gun" on one's back.
In the of your back always
Highlighting the constant presence of a weight or burden.
You can scream, you can shout
Repeating the option to express emotions cautiously.
But please don't let it out
Emphasizing the importance of restraint in emotional expression.
In front of the children
Reiterating the warning against emotional outbursts in front of children.
In front of the children
-This is all counterfeit
Acknowledging the inauthentic nature of the situation.
But just don't let it slip
Advising to maintain the facade without revealing its true nature.
In front of the children
Final repetition of the caution regarding emotional expression in the presence of children.
In front of the children
