Beyond Tonight
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Hidden Depths of Shit Present's 'Beyond Tonight'
Lyrics
Thought we were beyond the days
Reflecting on a past period, thinking it's behind.
Where we had to laugh and look away
Recalling times when laughter masked discomfort.
I know it still happens all the time
Acknowledging that uncomfortable situations persist.
Some of us are waking up
Awareness dawning on some about unsatisfactory situations.
To knowing what’s not good enough
Realization of what falls short becoming evident.
Some are still sleeping and some can get fucked
Varied responses to awakening, some still indifferent.
Just tell me a another story about how she wasn’t fair
Request for another story about unfairness, questioning reality.
Is the water running uphill now, are you getting scared?
Expressing skepticism, questioning the unusual.
Think you’re gonna waste my time
Challenging the idea of wasting time.
Trust me darling I’ll be fine
Assuring that time won't be wasted.
I don’t need you beyond tonight
Declaring independence, not needing the other beyond tonight.
Think you’re gonna break my heart
Anticipating heartbreak but claiming resilience.
Trust me I can’t fall apart
Confident in the ability to withstand emotional turmoil.
I’m too strong now I’m so enough
Asserting strength and self-sufficiency.
Baby I’m a hypocrite
Admitting to hypocrisy without intention to conform.
but I’m not trying to be anything
Clarifying the lack of desire to be something specific.
where you’re so firm in your ignorance
Criticizing rigid adherence to ignorance.
You’ll never see the other side
Highlighting a divide, suggesting limited perspectives.
Your safety won’t get compromised in the same way
Pointing out unequal consequences for safety.
And I’m so fucking sick of trying to change your mind
Expressing frustration with attempting to change opinions.
