Who Are You
Unveiling the Hidden Depths: tUnE-yArDs' "Who Are You" Explored
Lyrics
The science is cold
The study or knowledge is detached and unfeeling.
Roughly one half or three quarters we're told
About half or three-quarters, as commonly believed.
Communion is old
The act of sharing thoughts and feelings, often in a religious context, is ancient.
But what makes a community whole?
What brings a group of people together to form a complete community?
So much is invisible to me
Many things are hidden or unknown to me.
So much I may not ever see
There are aspects of life that I may never comprehend.
Who are you?
A repetitive questioning of one's identity or the identity of others.
Who are you?
-Who are you?
-Who are you?
-The science is cool
The scientific aspect is interesting or appealing.
Twenty-three percent as a general rule
Approximately 23 percent, following a general rule or guideline.
Generations pretend
Successive groups of people act as if something is true.
Shut our eyes and hold our breath till it ends
Turning a blind eye and holding one's breath until a situation concludes.
Oh, my thoughts are not my own
Personal thoughts are not individual but stem from deep-seated, inherited trauma.
But born of trauma deep in cellular stone
These thoughts are ingrained in the very core of cellular memory.
And who are you?
Continuation of the questioning of personal and collective identity.
Who are you?
-The science is cold
Reiteration of the detached and unfeeling nature of science.
The science is cold
-(It's okay, it's okay, all you gotta do is pay attention)
An encouragement to pay attention, possibly implying that understanding requires active engagement.
