Quiet Distress
Silent Struggle: Unveiling the Depths of Human Pain
Lyrics
How many times, how many lies
Questioning the frequency and extent of lies in a situation
Does it take to demonstrate?
Asking how many lies are needed to prove a point or make a change
To change the apathy that's ingrained
Desire to alter ingrained apathy
The screams, the cries, behind the lies
Reference to hidden pain, screams, and cries
The victim and the villainy, taking all your dignity
Describing the impact of lies on both victim and villainy, affecting dignity
Quiet distress covers scars and bruises
Quiet distress conceals emotional wounds like scars and bruises
Quiet distress leaves us lost and desperate
Quiet distress leads to feeling lost and desperate
Night after night, search for the light
Nightly search for hope or positivity
Relive the fear and misery
Revisiting fear and misery regularly
Disguise the pain
Masking emotional pain
The blood will wash away
Symbolic expression that blood may cleanse but emotional wounds persist
But the wounds still sing of your agony
Emphasizing lasting impact of wounds, echoing agony
Quiet distress covers scars and bruises
Reiteration of quiet distress covering scars and bruises
Quiet distress we can't afford indifference
Quiet distress is something society cannot ignore
Hearing screams and cries, over and over again
Hearing the pain repeatedly, suggesting persistent suffering
Wash the blood away, over and over again
Symbolic washing away of physical evidence, but emotional scars persist
The victim, over and over again
Repetition of the victim's experience, emphasizing recurrence
Becomes the victor in the end
Transformation from victim to victor over time
Quiet distress won't cover scars and bruises
Contrast, stating quiet distress can't hide scars and bruises forever
Quiet distress leaves us lost and desperate
Reiteration of the sense of being lost and desperate due to quiet distress
Quiet distress we can't afford indifference
Emphasizing that indifference to quiet distress is unaffordable
