Stay Down
Rise from Deception: Unveiling the Hard Truths of 'Stay Down'
Lyrics
They have promised you the world,
They made grand promises to you about the world.
And left you on your own,
They abandoned you, leaving you to fend for yourself.
Now all your life is built on fear,
Your entire life is now filled with fear.
Lies and hearts of stone.
Deception and cold, unfeeling hearts surround you.
And now I realize,
The realization dawns that the promises were false.
The promises were lies,
Those assurances were nothing but lies.
I'm walkin' endless miles,
Walking seemingly endless distances in disbelief.
I can't believe my eyes...
The shocking truth is difficult to accept.
Are you fightin' for survive?
Struggling to survive is a miserable way to exist.
It's a lousy way to live.
Life feels like a constant battle.
A wish to make it through the night,
A desire to endure the night, with nothing else to offer.
And nothin' else to give,
No resources or support to provide.
And now I realize,
Realizing the falseness of the promises.
The promises were lies,
The pain of walking miles in disbelief.
I'm walkin' endless miles,
Expressing incredulity at the situation.
I can't believe my eyes...
Continuing to be astonished.
Stay down low down,
Advising to remain low and inconspicuous.
Nobody cares if you're still hangin' around.
Nobody cares if you linger in the shadows.
Stay down low down,
Emphasizing the importance of staying down.
Who will you run to and who will you pray to,
Pondering who will be there for you when you're on the ground.
When you're down on the ground...
Highlighting the vulnerability of being down.
Who will help you when you fall,
Questioning who will come to your aid when you fall.
Who will pull you up?
Asking who will lift you up in times of need.
When you're prayin' for revenge,
In moments of seeking revenge, who will intervene?
Who will make you stop?
Who will make you reconsider your vengeful thoughts?
Stay down low down,
Reiterating the advice to stay low and unnoticed.
Nobody cares if you're still hangin' around.
Indicating the lack of concern if you persist in lingering.
Stay down low down,
Emphasizing again the importance of staying down.
Who will you run to and who will you pray to,
Pondering who will be there for you when you're on the ground.
When you're down on the ground...
Reiterating the vulnerability of being down.
And now I realize,
Reaffirming the realization that promises were false.
The promises were lies,
Expressing the pain of walking miles in disbelief.
I'm walkin' endless miles,
Continuing to be astonished at the situation.
I can't believe my eyes...
The ongoing struggle to believe what has transpired.
