Lyrics
Takes the anger out on another
Takes out frustration on someone else.
Or is all the screaming just in his head
Wondering if the loud emotions are internal.
God, this feeling hurts like a mother
Feeling deeply hurt.
He'll push it down into the pit of his chest
Suppresses emotions, holds them within.
He's got troubles
Has problems/troubles.
He don't show it
Doesn't display or express these problems outwardly.
Till the ocean's
Until the emotions become overwhelming.
Overflowing
Reaching a breaking point.
We've got old rules
There are societal expectations/norms.
We don't buy 'em
They are not adhered to or accepted.
Now our voices
Voices can no longer be silenced.
Can't stay silent
Difficulty in achieving correctness.
Why's it so hard getting it right?
Expresses the struggle in doing things correctly.
Boys can cry
Males can express emotions through tears.
Girls can fight
Females can engage in conflict.
Don't get stuck believing the hype
Advises against believing societal stereotypes.
Boys can cry
Males can express emotions through tears.
Girls can fight
Females can engage in conflict.
Knows what she wants but keeps it quiet
Knows what she desires but keeps it private.
Bites her tongue so she don't scare them away
Suppresses her thoughts to not scare others away.
Rolls up her sleeves only in hiding
Displays strength only when not observed.
Builds her strength because she's hoping for change
Strengthens herself, anticipating change.
Her desire
Her aspirations.
They won't hear it
Her aspirations are unheard/ignored.
She's got fire
She possesses passion/drive.
Won't go near it
Others avoid her passion/drive.
What's gonna change their minds
Questioning how to change others' perceptions.
It'll take some time, won't happen overnight
Change will take time, not immediate.
We're gonna change their minds
Determined to alter others' perspectives.
Leave it all behind, won't happen overnight
Change will be gradual, not instant.
