Tell Me Something
Revelations in Dissonance: Tear Them Down's Striking Message
Lyrics
It´s so obscene
Expressing strong disapproval or shock at something morally offensive or repugnant.
The way you speak to me
Commenting on the manner in which the other person communicates with the speaker.
You´re just a tourist and a fiend
Labeling the person as an outsider and someone addicted to something harmful or immoral.
You´re not my leader and this is not my war
Rejecting the authority or influence of the person, asserting that the speaker is not a follower in their perceived conflict.
So tell me something I don´t know
Challenging the other person to provide new information or perspectives.
Why we should walk this empty road
Questioning the justification for taking a desolate path or making difficult choices.
I cannot sleep
Expressing difficulty in finding peace or rest due to violence in the streets.
When kids are shooting in the streets
Highlighting the disturbing reality of violence involving young individuals in public spaces.
Like cat and mouse the with police
Drawing a parallel between a game of cat and mouse and the tense relationship between civilians and law enforcement.
This ain't my country and this is not my flag
Disclaiming any allegiance to a specific country or flag in the context of the mentioned war.
Same shape different form
Observing similarities in essence despite apparent differences.
As they call for civil war
Noting a call for civil war and the potential consequences.
Bodies washed up on the shore
Describing a grim scene of bodies washing ashore, likely as a result of conflict.
So tell me something I don´t know
Reiterating the desire for new and insightful information or perspectives.
Why we should walk this empty road
Raising the question again about the justification for taking a seemingly futile or dangerous path.
Like cattle on death row
Comparing the journey to a path of inevitable doom, akin to the fate of cattle on death row.
