Don't Dare
Unveiling the Unspoken Truth: 'Don't Dare' by Simon McBride
Lyrics
I am one man, I’m not an inmate
I am an individual, not confined like an inmate.
I didn’t force you here and won’t help you leave
I didn't force you to be here, and I won't assist your departure. This situation is your choice.
This is your move
This is your move, your decision or action.
This is stalemate
The situation is at a deadlock or impasse.
There’s no turning back, so just you leave
There's no going back; you should leave now.
People change
People undergo changes, entering and leaving one's life.
People come and go
People are transient, but connections have limits.
Yet the threads only stretch so far
Relationships have boundaries; they can only endure so much.
If your eyes don’t lie, don’t dare
If your eyes are truthful, don't avoid acknowledging your true self.
To deny what you really are
Emphasizes the importance of accepting one's true nature.
Don’t Dare
Reiteration of the warning not to deny one's authentic self.
If you read this,
If you are reading this, it's too late to change something.
Then you’re too late
The speaker is already gone; remember that and let go of the past.
I am long gone, so forget my name
The speaker has moved on, forget their name.
You’ve had your way
Addressing someone who had control for an extended period.
For too long
Expressing that the influence or control lasted too long.
It was so wrong
Recognizing that the past actions were incorrect or harmful.
Don’t you dare, don’t you dare
A direct command not to defy or challenge.
Don’t you dare, don’t you dare
Repetition of the command, emphasizing its importance.
