Lyrics
She nursed him there
She took care of him in that place
Ooh, over a night
Throughout a single night
Wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
Uncertain if she wanted him to remain
What to say, what to say
Expressing hesitation or uncertainty
But soon she was down, soon he was low
Eventually, she became downcast, and he became despondent
At a quarter past a holy no
Around fifteen minutes past an important refusal or denial
She had to turn around
She had to turn away
When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded
When she couldn't endure, she gave up
A dissident is here
A person opposing the established system is present
Escape is never the safest path
Choosing an alternative path is not the safest option
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is present
And to this day, she's glided on
Up to the present time, she has moved smoothly
Always home but so far away
Always at home but emotionally distant
Like a word misplaced
Similar to a word used inappropriately or incorrectly
Nothing to say, what a waste
Nothing to say, expressing a sense of futility
When she had contact with the conflict
When she encountered the conflict
There was meanin', but she sold him to the state
There was meaning, but she betrayed him to the authorities
She had to turn around
She had to turn away
When she couldn't hold, she folded
When she couldn't endure, she gave up
A dissident is here
A dissident is present
Escape is never the safest path
Choosing an alternative path is not the safest option
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is present
She gave him away
She relinquished him
When she couldn't hold, no, she folded
When she couldn't endure, no, she gave up
A dissident is here
A dissident is present
Escape is never the safest path
Choosing an alternative path is not the safest option
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is present
Couldn't hold on
Unable to hold on
She couldn't hold, no, she folded
She couldn't endure, no, she gave up
A dissident is here
A dissident is present
Escape is never the safest place, oh
Choosing an alternative path is not the safest place
A dissident is here
A dissident is present
