Right or Wrong
Navigating Shadows: Reflections on Choices and Consequences
Lyrics
What have I become
Reflecting on personal transformation or change.
I wanna be a lover and a fighter
Expressing a desire to embody both love and strength.
But I can't undo
Regret about actions that cannot be reversed.
What I've done
Acknowledging past deeds that have consequences.
Right or wrong it's been done
Acceptance of actions, whether right or wrong.
There's an emptiness
Describing a feeling of emptiness.
We've been trying just to fill
Attempts to fill a void or emptiness in life.
We're full of bullet holes
Comparing personal wounds to societal issues, perhaps war.
Like the people we pay to kill
Commenting on the contradiction of paying others to kill.
There's a weight
Describing a burden or heaviness in life.
That holds the paper down
Reference to a physical weight holding down paperwork.
With a dotted line for us to sign
Signing agreements, particularly when children are absent.
When the children aren't around
Suggesting secrecy or hidden aspects when children are not present.
There's a place
Referring to a place of employment or duty.
For each of us to go to work
Highlighting the concept of 'home' and consequences for failure.
Earn what they call home
Consequence of failure being imprisonment.
Jail for those who fall behind
Empty line, no specific meaning.
There's a dial we could turn
Referring to a choice or action that can be taken.
A cord we could unplug
Suggesting a disconnection or withdrawal from external influences.
That might leave us in the dark
Potentially facing challenges without external support.
With just the ones we love
Emphasizing the importance of loved ones in challenging times.
There's a fear
Discussing the deliberate planting and cultivation of fear.
That's been planted just to grow
Creating conflict out of nothing, leading to war.
Something out of nothing
Commenting on the manipulation of truth to justify conflict.
Into a war we made to show
Highlighting the imprisonment or suppression of light/truth.
There's a light
Empty line, no specific meaning.
That's been locked up with the truth
Indicating the concealment and suppression of light with truth.
They've been hidden and silence
Observing the hiding and suffering of truth.
Tortured and confused
Pointing to the confusion and pain associated with truth.
There's a question
Prompting a call to voice unspoken questions in one's mind.
We've been asking in our minds
Expressing a need to break silence and speak out.
I think it's time to speak it out
Empowering individuals to speak up without fear.
No more trembling voices no more rhyme
Rejecting hesitation and embracing clarity in communication.
