Tar and Feather
Speak in Silence: Unveiling the Depths of Emotion in 'Tar and Feather'
Lyrics
Who takes a chance?
Expressing curiosity about who is willing to take a risk.
Who's better than I?
Questioning if anyone is superior to the speaker.
It's the whole damn world
Reflecting on the vastness and complexity of the world.
And I see it with my eyes out
Observing the world firsthand.
You make it look so easy
Complimenting someone for making things seem effortless.
It makes me sick to my stomach
Expressing a feeling of nausea at how effortless it appears.
Go easy
Suggesting the other person takes it easy.
I feel the air
Sensing the presence of something essential.
I need it in my lungs
Expressing a need for a vital element.
I breathe you in and I taste it on my tongue
Metaphorically describing absorbing and experiencing something.
And I finally learned to speak about you with my mouth shut
Learning to keep quiet about the person in question.
And I know I'm hard to reach
Acknowledging that the speaker is challenging to connect with.
And I know that it gets better
Believing that things will improve over time.
But I finally learned to see right through you with my eyes shut
Seeing through the person with eyes closed metaphorically.
And I'm finally the tar
Identifying as the "tar," possibly representing negativity or difficulty.
You've always been the feather when you're here
Recognizing the other person as the "feather," possibly symbolizing lightness or ease.
And I finally learned to speak about you with my mouth shut
Reiterating the idea of keeping silent about the person.
And I know I'm hard to reach
Acknowledging the speaker's difficulty to connect with.
And I know that it gets better
Expressing the belief that things will improve in the future.
But I finally learned to see right through you with my eyes shut
Seeing through the person with eyes closed metaphorically (repeated).
And I'm finally the tar
Identifying as the "tar" (repeated).
You've always been the feather when you're here
Recognizing the other person as the "feather" (repeated).
You make it look so easy
Complimenting someone for making things seem effortless (repeated).
It makes me sick to my stomach
Expressing a feeling of nausea at how effortless it appears (repeated).
Go easy
Suggesting the other person takes it easy (repeated).
And I finally learned to speak about you with my mouth shut
Learning to keep quiet about the person (repeated).
And I know I'm hard to reach
Acknowledging the speaker's difficulty to connect with (repeated).
And I know that it gets better
Expressing the belief that things will improve in the future (repeated).
But I finally learned to see right through you with my eyes shut
Seeing through the person with eyes closed metaphorically (repeated).
And I'm finally the tar
Identifying as the "tar" (repeated).
You've always been the feather when you're here
Recognizing the other person as the "feather" (repeated).
I feel your gaze
Sensing the intensity of someone's gaze.
It's burning through my mind
Feeling the impact of someone's emotional burden.
I feel your pain
Empathizing with someone else's pain that resembles the speaker's.
It feels a lot like mine
Perceiving a similarity between the speaker's and someone else's pain.
