My Hands Are Tied
Unveiling Social Unrest: My Hands Are Tied
Lyrics
Label me and instigate a fight
Challenging authority and expecting retaliation
Sign your name on the dotted line
Highlighting the controversial aspects of laws and policies
We'll complain about the bill of human rights
Expressing discontent with the state of a nation
Stop me now, if you try I will only feed more lies
Defying attempts to stop or control with lies
To the underbelly of a war we'd love to fight
Acknowledging the hidden and dark side of war
The brouhaha of an entire nation
Referring to a chaotic situation involving an entire nation
Will you fight all of us?
Challenging the opposition to a collective fight
One hand tied around your back and one in front to block the attack
Describing a defensive stance with limitations
Back up a step and take a dive
Suggesting retreat and acceptance of defeat
It's over now, say goodbye
Announcing the end of a situation or relationship
Ask yourself a question why
Prompting self-reflection and inquiry
Find the person in yourself and release them to the world
Encouraging self-discovery and expression
When they reach the point of suicide, tell them that I say hi
Alluding to the consequences of reaching a breaking point
Proposition: truth
Advocating for honesty and sincerity
The young and old, the young and old
Highlighting generational differences
The youth of today need to find a better way to co-exist with all of this
Calling for a better way of coexistence for the youth
It's bullshit, and everything you say is socially unsafe.
Rejecting societal norms as unsafe and hypocritical
