We Both Lose
Code of Silence: Navigating Disappointment and Independence
Lyrics
You slammed the door in my face, how do we get to this place?
You rejected me abruptly, and now we find ourselves in this difficult situation.
Every time, you always close your mind
Consistently, you close yourself off emotionally.
But in your code of silence, the truth is you're denying
Your silence is a way of avoiding the truth that you refuse to acknowledge.
Everything that doesn't fall in line
You reject everything that doesn't conform to your expectations or beliefs.
You believe in something, even you don't understand
You have faith in something, even though you don't comprehend it fully.
I know, I know the tradition is
I understand that conforming to tradition is important to you.
To follow, follow wherever you lead
The expectation is to blindly follow wherever you lead.
I let go you should know that I'm disappointed like you
I have let go, and you should realize that I am disappointed, just like you are.
So we both lose
We both end up losing in this situation.
You sheltered me my whole life, made me look through your eyes
You protected me throughout my life, shaping my perspective.
I was blind, to the things that you were blind to
I was oblivious to things that you, too, failed to see.
I danced with indecision, cleared my blurry vision
I struggled with making decisions, but I've now clarified my vision.
I don't blame you, but I wanted to remind you
I don't blame you, but I want to remind you of my perspective.
I believe in something, that you'll never understand
I believe in something that you will never comprehend.
I know, I know the tradition is
Similar to line 7, there's an acknowledgment of the importance of tradition.
To follow, follow wherever you lead
The expectation persists to blindly follow wherever you lead.
I let go you should know that I'm disappointed like you
I have let go, and you should understand my disappointment.
So we both lose
Once again, emphasizing that both parties suffer losses in this situation.
Thought you walked on water
You were perceived as extraordinary, but in reality, it was just a misconception.
They were only puddles in the sand... In the sand
Those seemingly impressive qualities were merely illusions or insignificant.
