Lyrics
I can see but I can't hear a sound
I have visual perception, but I cannot hear any sound.
These-red drops falling on the ground,
Red drops are falling on the ground.
Liquid red as it hits the sand.
The drops are liquid red as they hit the sand.
My nose-hurts n' there's blood on my hands.
My nose hurts, and there's blood on my hands.
Knees-Hit the dust now I'm alone in my pain
I've fallen to my knees, experiencing pain alone.
Banned from lands cause some of them complain.
I'm banned from certain lands because some people complain.
Cause I'm different they don't understand
Others don't understand me because I'm different; the media influences their perception.
TV tells them what to fear sit on the witness stand.
The TV dictates what they should fear as they sit on the witness stand.
I'm not afraid and I know
I'm not afraid, and I'm aware of it.
I'm hold back another blow
I'm holding back against another blow.
I'm not afraid and I know
I'm not afraid, and I know it.
I'll take down this puppet show
I'm determined to bring down this puppet show.
Security, security
Reference to security; more police presence leads to increased humiliation.
More and more policeman for more and more humiliation
Police are not here to protect but to reject.
Not here to protect, but here to reject
Being injured is not a valid reason or justification.
To be injured is neither a reason nor a justification
Being a victim doesn't excuse the need for correction.
You can't be the victim you need a house of correction
The speaker challenges the concept of victimhood and correction.
Alone in my cell I count the days on the wall.
Alone in a cell, counting days on the wall.
Like a savage animal they say I'm out of control
Described as a savage animal, labeled as out of control.
Lost without a sign . Lost without a sign...
Feeling lost without a sign.
I try to find the light.
Searching for light in the darkness.
I'm not afraid and I know
Reiteration that the speaker is not afraid and is aware.
I'm hold back another blow
Withstanding another blow.
I'm not afraid and I know
Still not afraid, facing the same old show.
Cause it's the same old show
Acceptance of the repetition of challenges.
I'm not afraid and I know
Confident acknowledgment that others will regret their actions.
I know you must to regret
Anticipation of gaining respect.
I'm not afraid and I know
Continued confidence; the speaker knows others will respect them.
That you'll finally respect
An expectation that respect will finally be earned.
I'm not afraid and I know
Reaffirming confidence; now others are the only suspects.
Now you're the only suspect
The speaker is not afraid and is aware that others are now under suspicion.
I'm not afraid and I know
The speaker declares fearlessness; there is no more fear.
I'm not afraid anymore
A final statement of courage and fearlessness.
