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.
