There Will Be Revenge
Echoes of Betrayal: Navigating Life's Silent Judges
Lyrics
Staring out the window she sees glimpses of last night
Reflecting on the events of the previous night while gazing out of the window.
And everyone is silent but speaking through their eyes
People around her are quiet, but their unspoken expressions convey messages.
Walking to the bus stop where the court of judges wait
Heading to the bus stop where judgment awaits, symbolizing a critical moment.
To sentence her to live her life
Facing a sentence to live with the burden of societal disapproval.
Like she should always be ashamed
Living under the constant societal pressure to feel ashamed.
Been around so many times it wears out what you are
Repeated experiences have worn down her true identity.
Accepting sarcasm and false sincerity
Enduring insincere remarks and false praise as genuine words.
As words that people mean
Accepting words at face value, regardless of sincerity.
Rejection redefined by giving up just what they're after
Redefined rejection by surrendering to the expectations of others.
Someone would tell you
Expressing the desire for someone to see through the facade of laughter.
If they could speak above all this laughter
Believing that truthful communication is hindered by prevailing laughter.
Think you could learn somehow the time just isn't now
Hoping to learn that the right time for understanding will come.
Got a reputation now and no one's holding back
Having gained a negative reputation, with no restraint in criticism.
Wearing scars on your sleeve, so exposed to their attack
Bearing emotional scars openly, vulnerable to criticism.
All her friends have pulled the plug on respect and reserve
Friends abandoning support and exploiting vulnerabilities behind her back.
Behind her back they prey on weakness
Experiencing betrayal that is undeserved.
It's not what you deserve
Contrary to deserving respect, facing humiliation from others.
Shot down, humiliated, pummeled by their words
Being verbally attacked, leading to a sense of shame and defeat.
Devoted you lay down with misplaced loyalty
Remaining loyal despite being surrounded by misery.
Its misery you seek
Seeking misery, possibly due to a subconscious desire for suffering.
No longer called by name when everybody's got your number
Anonymous in a crowd, losing individual identity when everyone judges.
When dignity is gone
Depression sets in when dignity is lost.
That's when depression drags you under
Depression submerging the individual to unknown depths.
To depths you didn't know beneath and under
Emphasizing the profound impact of depression.
No longer called by name when everybody's got your number
Reiteration of the loss of identity and dignity in the face of judgment.
When dignity is gone
Emphasizing the correlation between the loss of dignity and the onset of depression.
That's when depression drags you under
Reinforcing the idea that depression intensifies when dignity is compromised.
To depths you didn't know beneath the undertow
Highlighting the unforeseen depths reached under the influence of depression.
