Walls
Beyond Walls: Unveiling the Hidden Struggles and Stories
Lyrics
I find it hard updating you where I've been
I struggle to keep you informed about my whereabouts.
Just know I'm there, just know I'm there
Assure that I am present, even if you are not aware of it.
All these credit cards judge me on what I spend
Credit cards pass judgment based on my expenditures.
I sense your stare, I sense your stare
I feel your disapproving gaze.
All jokes aside, don't tell me the way that I feel
Don't dictate my emotions until you experience them firsthand.
'Til you're inside, you won't know what's lies and what's real
Real understanding comes only from being inside a situation.
Or if there's something wrong
Uncertainty about whether there's a problem.
Assuming the things you hear 'bout me's a done deal
Assuming rumors about me are already settled.
There's more to us than what we choose to reveal
We are more complex than what we choose to reveal.
Or what we don't
Emphasizing what remains undisclosed.
See, behind these walls, it's different
Behind the facade, the reality is different.
You judged off these minor glimpses
Being judged based on incomplete glimpses of my life.
I'm still the same old kid you used to know
I am still the same person you knew from before.
Behind these walls, you don't see
Behind these walls, your perception is limited.
You make up your own stories
You create your own narratives about me.
Still do the same old shit we did back home
Continuing the same behaviors as we did in our hometown.
Behind these walls, behind these walls
Reiterating the idea of hidden realities behind walls.
You find it strange you're not here, but I'm living anyways
You may find it strange that I'm thriving without your presence.
Constantly complain it's not fair that I'm seeing better days
Your constant complaints about unfairness contrast with my better days.
Last time I checked, you were throwing knives at me all around
Recalling past conflicts where you attacked me verbally.
Whispering words, but when I confronted you, there was not a sound
Confronting you resulted in silence despite your earlier words.
All jokes aside, don't tell me the way that I feel
Reiteration of the importance of personal experience in understanding emotions.
'Til you're inside, you won't know what's lies and what's real
Real understanding comes only from being inside a situation.
Or if there's something wrong
Uncertainty about whether there's a problem.
Assuming the things you hear 'bout me's a done deal
Assuming rumors about me are already settled.
There's more to us than what we choose to reveal
We are more complex than what we choose to reveal.
Or what we don't
Emphasizing what remains undisclosed.
See, behind these walls, it's different
Behind the facade, the reality is different.
You judged off these minor glimpses
Being judged based on incomplete glimpses of my life.
I'm still the same old kid you used to know
I am still the same person you knew from before.
Behind these walls, you don't see
Behind these walls, your perception is limited.
You make up your own stories
You create your own narratives about me.
Still do the same old shit we did back home
Continuing the same behaviors as we did in our hometown.
Behind these walls, behind these walls
Reiterating the idea of hidden realities behind walls.
See, behind these walls, it's different
Emphasizing the difference between appearance and reality.
You judged off these minor glimpses
Being judged based on incomplete glimpses of my life.
I'm still the same old kid you used to know
I am still the same person you knew from before.
Behind these walls, you don't see
Behind these walls, your perception is limited.
You make up your own stories
You create your own narratives about me.
Still do the same old shit we did back home
Continuing the same behaviors as we did in our hometown.
Behind these walls
Reiterating the idea of hidden realities behind walls.
