The Hand That Feeds You
Unveiling Deception: Embrace or Rebel?
Lyrics
What if the ones you loved are gone
Expressing the loss of loved ones and the emotional impact.
All the things you trust are wrong
Highlighting a sense of betrayal or disappointment in trusted elements.
The fear comes and fills the pool
Describing the anxiety and fear that pervade the situation.
But you already know you'll take it
Acknowledging awareness of a challenging situation, yet accepting it willingly.
Like a mule
Using the metaphor of a mule to convey the endurance or acceptance of hardship.
Yeah oh, but you don't bite the hand that feeds you
Advising against rebelling or opposing those who provide for you.
Yeah oh, you'll be eating from them 'til they bleed through you
Emphasizing dependence on external sources, even if it causes harm or discomfort.
They tie your hands up, hush your mouth
Describing constraints imposed by external forces, including suppression of speech.
Shout their jargon 'til you're in no doubt
Portraying the forceful promotion of certain beliefs until they become unquestionable.
Of the creed you've come to know so well
Referring to an established set of principles or beliefs that one may reluctantly accept.
You hate it but you take it and lie
Expressing a dislike for the situation but complying with it and being dishonest to oneself.
To yourself as well
Acknowledging self-deception in the face of challenging circumstances.
Yeah oh, but you don't bite the hand that feeds you
Reiterating the caution against resisting those who provide sustenance or support.
Yeah oh, you'll be eating from them 'til they bleed through you
Stressing the continued reliance on external support, even if it causes harm.
Yeah oh, but you don't bite the hand that feeds you
Repeating the advice not to rebel against those who contribute to your well-being.
Yeah oh, you'll be eating from them 'til they bleed through you
Reemphasizing the idea of dependence on external sources, regardless of consequences.
Eating from them 'til they bleed through you
Highlighting the persistence of relying on others, potentially at the cost of personal well-being.
Eating from them 'til they bleed
Concluding with a vivid image of dependency, suggesting a harmful and draining relationship.
