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
