Lyrics
Now, I've been here before
Reflecting on past experiences or situations
I've been wearing this place for years
Feeling familiar with the current environment for an extended period
Anywhere my eyes go, anywhere my ears drop
Observing surroundings through sight and sound
There are shining lights, fake mirrors and people laughing from the tops
Noticing superficial and deceptive elements, including artificial lights and laughter
But then I turn my back to the bright lights
Turning away from the dazzling lights to see a neighbor's less glamorous reality
And see the neighbor's place
Noticing the fenced and closed nature of the neighbor's place
It's surrounded by fences, closed from outside
Highlighting isolation and barriers imposed by closed minds and corporate interests
By narrow minds and big businesses
Emphasizing the presence of narrow-mindedness and powerful businesses
I can't help but think that there's something uneven here
Suspecting an imbalance or injustice in the current situation
It's not about you and me, it's that common fear
Stating that the issue is not personal but a shared fear
It drags us down and raises the hate among your peers
Describing the impact of the common fear on dragging people down and fostering hate
There's something uneven here
Reiterating the presence of an uneven or unjust element
Did I take a wrong step or is the ground uneven under my feet
Questioning personal decisions or the fairness of the ground beneath
Is this the right place and are we all supposed to take a beat
Raising uncertainty about whether the current place is appropriate for everyone
I can hear calls for help out of my mind
Hearing pleas for assistance that seem to originate internally
Oh boy, Mother is not satisfied
Expressing dissatisfaction from a maternal perspective
I can't help but think that there's something uneven here
Reiterating the perception of an imbalance or injustice
It's not about you and me, it's that common fear
Clarifying that the issue is not confined to personal relationships
It drags us down and raises the hate among your peers
Linking the common fear to negative consequences among peers
There's something uneven here
Emphasizing the persistent presence of an uneven or unjust element
I can't help but think that there's something uneven here
Repeating the theme of perceiving an imbalance or injustice
It's not 'bout you and me, it's that common fear
Reiterating that the issue is not solely about individual experiences
It drags us down and raises the hate among your peers
Highlighting the negative consequences of the common fear among peers
Cry or fly baby, there's no in between
Presenting a dichotomy of responding to the situation: either crying or taking flight
See the watchtower's been burned down in secret for years
Noting the destruction of a symbolic watchtower, hidden from public awareness
You can close your eyes, but you know you're the final frontier
Suggesting self-awareness as the ultimate frontier, even if one tries to avoid it
There's something uneven here
Reiterating the presence of an uneven or unjust element in the overall situation
