Unfair
Navigating the Unjust Weight of Truth: Lonely Bunker's 'Unfair'
Lyrics
Unaware that everything was changing
Feeling oblivious to the ongoing changes in the situation.
A solemn stare that’s searching for a lie
A serious and intense gaze, searching for dishonesty or deception.
But if it’s true
Expressing doubt or skepticism.
Then I would have rather that you never would have told me
Prefer not to know the truth if it means experiencing pain or hardship.
So I could close my eyes and make it go away
Wishing to avoid reality by closing one's eyes and ignoring the situation.
You shed your guilt and now the burden is mine to bear
Someone else confessed or revealed something, and now the listener bears the emotional weight.
Unfair
Describing the situation as unjust or not right.
Here we sit deafened by the silence
Sitting in a heavy and uncomfortable silence.
Complicit you should have let it die
Suggesting complicity in maintaining the silence, which may have been better to end.
But if it’s true
Reiteration of doubt or skepticism.
Then I would have rather that you never would have told me
Reiterating a preference for ignorance to avoid emotional pain.
So I could close my eyes and make it go away
Desire to escape from the harsh reality by closing one's eyes.
You shed your guilt and now the burden is mine to bear
Being burdened with guilt that was transferred to the listener.
Unfair
Reiterating the perception of the situation as unjust or not right.
But if it’s true
Expressing continued doubt or skepticism.
Then I would have rather that you never would have told me
Reiterating a preference for ignorance to avoid emotional pain.
So I could close my eyes and make it go away
Desire to escape from the harsh reality by closing one's eyes.
You shed your guilt and now the burden is mine to bear
Being burdened with guilt that was transferred to the listener.
Unfair
Reiterating the perception of the situation as unjust or not right.
