Navigating Shadows: The Unseen Struggles Behind the Screen
Lyrics
I don't know what this is, this place right now
I am uncertain about my current situation or surroundings.
But I been so down down deep, It's hell
I have been feeling extremely low, almost like being in hell.
Don't hear me hear me, I'm outside your house
I hope you notice me; I am outside your house, calling out to you.
But you never seem to look in my direction
Despite being present, you never acknowledge or pay attention to me.
Yah I know I have a zombie face on the television my vision says I'm a disgrace
Although I appear on the television, my vision tells me that I am considered a disgrace with a zombie-like face.
But I feel
I have strong emotions.
Don't break me down, I just got up
Don't criticize or break my spirit; I have just overcome a challenging situation.
Here and now, I am mopped up by your people. A fellow soul
At this moment, I am influenced or controlled by your community, as we share a common humanity.
You really want to know what brings me down?
I want to share what is causing my emotional downturn.
When the face is unfamiliar, not safe and sound
When confronted with an unfamiliar and unsafe situation or person, I feel uneasy.
Push back a couple decades, that's where I am found
Reflecting on the past, I find myself in a time period a few decades ago.
My cultures got me shocked by the collar now
My cultural background has surprised me, causing discomfort.
Those pictures share a winter so cold
Images or memories shared depict a particularly cold winter.
There's really such a difference between the young and the old?
Is there a significant difference between the youth and the elderly?
You don't like it? But you're tuning in
Even if you dislike it, you still tune in to watch.
You don't like, but you take it all take it all in
Despite not liking it, you accept and absorb everything from the television.
You don't respect that? But you act that!
If you don't appreciate it, why do you imitate it? You play a role on that television.
You're a player on that television
You are an active participant or performer on the television.
