Backbite
Backbite: Unveiling the Shadows of Envy
Lyrics
They walk the dog
Engaging in trivial talk or gossip
By deep dark night
During the late hours of the night
With a bag full of gossip
Carrying rumors and hearsay
They meet under street light
Meeting in the illumination of a street light
Have you heard this?
Asking if one is aware of certain information
And have you heard that?
Inquiring about various rumors
Pleased by their own envy
Deriving satisfaction from their own jealousy
They go back to bed
Returning to bed after gossiping
Backbite
Engaging in backbiting
In
Within the glow of the street light
The gleam of the street light
Continuing the act of backbiting
Backbite
An expression of emotion or reaction
Oeh
An exclamation, perhaps indicating disdain or frustration
Even your own dog is better than you
Comparing unfavorably to even one's own dog
Eyes and ears Everywhere in the streets
Awareness of scrutiny from others in the community
They know what i say and they know what i eat
Others know details about the speaker's life
I cant go anywhere I cannot breath
Feeling confined and suffocated by the judgment
Discusted by their envy.
Feeling repulsed by the jealousy of others
I cant go to bed.
Difficulty finding peace or rest
Backbite
Resuming the act of backbiting
In
Within the glow of the street light again
The gleam of the street light
Continuing the negative talk
Backbite
Repetition of emotional exclamation
Oeh
Expressing frustration or disdain
Even your own dog is better than you
Reiterating the unfavorable comparison
Backbite
Persisting in backbiting behavior
In
Within the glow of the street light once more
The gleam of the street light
Continuing the cycle of negative talk
Backbite
Repetition of emotional expression
Oeh
Reiterating frustration or disdain
Even your own dog is better than you
Emphasizing the unfavorable comparison once again
