Unveiling the Hidden Symphony: Footnotes by The Silent Comedy
Lyrics
It's in dark rooms we explain ourselves
Reflecting on our true selves often occurs in moments of solitude or introspection.
When it's time, can we contain ourselves
Questioning our ability to control our reactions or emotions when the time comes.
So I'll raise a glass to toast your health
Celebrating and wishing good health to someone important.
If we know something
There might be things we know but choose not to express verbally or communicate.
That we're not saying
An acknowledgment of withheld information or unspoken feelings.
We were not born yesterday
We have experience and knowledge; we are not naive or inexperienced.
We can not afford to fade away
We cannot afford to disappear or lose ourselves.
And I won't let time go slowly by
Not willing to let time pass slowly without taking action.
Before you and I get a break
Before both of us receive a chance or opportunity.
There's a lot that we should leave to chance
Accepting uncertainty in life but desiring a specific outcome.
But I stand here hoping it's exact
Hoping for precision or accuracy in a situation.
So if you would kindly turn your back
Asking someone to turn away or not pay attention to something.
If we know something
Reiteration of unspoken knowledge or concealed truths.
That we're not saying
Continuing to acknowledge withheld information or emotions.
We were not born yesterday
Reiterating experience and awareness of the world.
We can not afford to fade away
Emphasizing the necessity to persist or endure.
And I won't let time go slowly by
Refusal to let time pass slowly without taking action.
Before you and I get a break
Before both individuals receive an opportunity or chance.
La la la, la la la la la
Non-lexical vocalization, possibly conveying emotions or filling the space musically.
La la la, la la la la la
Continuation of non-lexical vocalization for musical effect.
