All These Years
Unveiling Hidden Resentment
Lyrics
It doesn't seem to bring you harm
Despite appearances, the situation or action doesn't appear to cause you any harm.
And it doesn't seem to go my way
Things are not going as planned or desired on my part.
You can lie to the open wind
You can deceive or lie openly without consequence.
But your voice betrays your hate
Even though you may try to hide it, your true feelings of hatred are revealed through your voice.
Try to run from the blackened sky
Attempting to escape or avoid the oppressive and dark circumstances.
From burn of the pain of the heart
Avoiding the emotional pain and suffering associated with matters of the heart.
I would step on your wounded pride
I am willing to confront and disregard your wounded pride.
And display your dismay like it's art
Publicly showcasing your discontent as if it were a form of art.
Louder and louder and louder it goes
The intensity or volume of a situation keeps increasing but remains unheard or ignored.
But nobody hears what's said
Despite the increasing volume, the spoken words go unnoticed or unacknowledged.
You can laugh and deceive yourself
You can laugh and deceive yourself, but there will be consequences when facing the consequences of life and death.
But you'll answer to me when you're dead
In the afterlife, there will be a reckoning or accountability for one's actions.
Try to run from the blackened sky
Similar to line 5, attempting to escape or avoid dark circumstances.
From burn of the pain of the heart
Avoiding the emotional pain and suffering associated with matters of the heart, repeated from line 6.
I would step on your wounded pride
Reiterating the willingness to confront and disregard wounded pride, repeated from line 7.
And display your dismay like it's art
Repeating the act of publicly showcasing discontent as if it were a form of art from line 8.
It doesn't seem to bring you harm
Despite appearances, the situation or action doesn't appear to cause you any harm, repeated from line 1.
And it doesn't seem to go my way
Things are not going as planned or desired on my part, repeated from line 2.
You can lie to the open wind
You can deceive or lie openly without consequence, repeated from line 3.
But your voice betrays your hate
Even though you may try to hide it, your true feelings of hatred are revealed through your voice, repeated from line 4.
I can feel it numbing after waiting all these years
After a prolonged period of waiting, the numbness associated with the situation is finally felt.
