Being Prey
Silent Struggles: Unveiling the Captivity in 'Being Prey'
Lyrics
I stare at the ceiling
The person is in a state of introspection, possibly feeling trapped or confined.
Too weak to have feelings
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted, unable to experience emotions.
I can't think, way too tired
Mentally fatigued, unable to think clearly due to exhaustion.
To be numb, is required
To cope, they need to disconnect emotionally and be emotionally numb.
Sleeping, eating
The cycle of basic survival activities - sleeping and eating.
Obey or beating
Being subjected to obedience through either compliance or punishment.
Lying, waiting
Passively enduring, anticipating without taking action.
No hesitating
No time to pause or think, immediate compliance is expected.
Just breathing he did
Surviving by merely breathing, nothing else is required or allowed.
Nothing else was needed
The person's existence is reduced to the bare minimum; no additional actions are permitted.
Keep him dumb
Keeping someone intellectually limited or ignorant.
Under their thumb
Being controlled or oppressed by authority or influence.
In line, we shall stay
Submission to authority or conforming to societal expectations.
Keeping quiet, being prey
Remaining silent and submissive, vulnerable to predation or exploitation.
They make rules
Those in power establish regulations or guidelines.
We're just guests here
People are not in control but rather are temporary residents in a space dictated by others.
They keep us tired
Being deliberately kept exhausted or drained of energy.
But encourage fear
Promoting a climate of fear while discouraging complaints or resistance.
They want us not to complain
Preventing expressions of dissatisfaction or discontent.
In here, we're all the same
Under enforced conditions, everyone is reduced to the same powerless state.
