Lyrics

We tried slashing strangers' tires

We attempted to damage the property of unknown individuals.

We tried ending good romances

We tried to end positive and meaningful relationships.

Spouted blasphemy to get a rise

We expressed offensive or sacrilegious words to provoke a reaction.

Yeah we crashed a thousand dances

We disrupted numerous social gatherings or events.

'Cause nobody warned us

No one cautioned or advised us.

'Cause nobody warned us though they knew

Despite knowing, no one warned us about the consequences.

Every grownup that you trusted Lied to you

The adults whom you trusted deceived you.


They were quiet as the dead

They remained silent and indifferent.

When it happened to them

When a similar situation occurred in their lives.

Quiet as the dead

They were as silent as the deceased.

They may as well have been

Their response was practically nonexistent.

So we tell ourselves

To cope, we convince ourselves.

We'll raise hell instead

We'll rebel and cause chaos instead.

That we'll scream and scream

We will express our frustration loudly.

But it's still quiet

However, the silence persists.

As the dead

Similar to the quietness of the deceased.


And I've walked with all my friends

I have strolled alongside my companions.

Through the graveyards where we laughed

In cemeteries where we once found joy.

But now I now I read

Now, I scrutinize and understand.

Between the lines of every epitaph

The hidden meaning behind every memorial inscription.

'Cause nobody warned them

No one cautioned or advised them.

'Cause nobody warned them and now the disease

Similar to us, they were not warned.

Fades into view in the heavenly blue

A metaphorical disease becomes apparent in the heavenly blue.

In the face of every screen

Visible on every screen, possibly referring to technology.


And the filthiest pages

Even the dirtiest sections of the holiest books.

Of the godliest books

Can come to life with impurity.

Could all spring to life

Despite challenges, you remain unfazed.

But you remain unshook

In a tumultuous environment, you stand strong.

Down in the burning jungle

In the chaotic world of the youth.

The zoo of the young

No one warned you in that intense situation.

Nobody warned you

Reflecting on the past, what difference would it make?

What would it have done?

Highlighting the futility of warnings in certain circumstances.
