Pledge
Unveiling Deceit: Watch Out Stampede's Powerful Message in 'Pledge'
Lyrics
Do you know what it means to lose
Expressing the experience of losing and the impact on control.
Your control over the things you chose
Reflecting on losing control over personal choices.
We don't feel alright following a line
Discomfort with blindly following societal norms or expectations.
We won't compromise,
Refusal to make concessions.
Cause you're the ones who lied
Attributing lies to a specific group or authority.
We won't compromise,
Reiteration of resistance against compromise.
Cause you're the ones who lied
Emphasizing the responsibility of those who deceived.
I'm tired of resting on my knees
Expressing weariness of submission or pleading.
Find a way to express my feelings
Seeking alternative ways to communicate emotions.
We won't live in disguise
Rejecting a life of pretense or deception.
Cause you're the ones who lied
Reiterating the association of lies with a specific group.
Cause you're the ones who lied
Emphasizing the repetition of falsehood.
We are the ones you thought you own
Affirming individual ownership and rejecting control by others.
Close your eyes
Encouraging introspection or shutting out external influences.
Everything you see belongs to you
Asserting personal ownership of one's experiences.
Fake the pledge and keep your
Warning against insincere commitments.
Heart at the right place and
Advising sincerity in actions and emotions.
Just try not to fall apart
Counseling resilience in the face of challenges.
When every step they take will
Anticipating difficult consequences of certain actions.
Lead us to darker places
Highlighting the potential for negative outcomes.
Do you know what it means to lose
Repeating the theme of losing control and its consequences.
Your control over the things you chose
Reiterating the impact of losing control over choices.
We don't feel alright following a line
Discontent with conforming to societal expectations.
We won't compromise,
Stating the refusal to compromise.
Cause you're the ones who lied
Attributing deception to a specific group.
We won't live in disguise
Rejecting a life of pretense or deception.
Cause you're the ones who lied
Reiterating responsibility for lies.
You think we thought it through?
Questioning assumptions about careful consideration.
We thought it would be easy
Acknowledging challenges in a seemingly good situation.
Good times create weak men
Reflecting on the impact of enjoyable times on character.
Weak men create hard times
Highlighting the cycle of challenges arising from comfort.
Just let them have their talk
Advocating tolerance for criticism or gossip.
What's the worst they can do?
Minimizing the potential harm of negative opinions.
No one needs courtesy
Questioning the necessity of politeness or formalities.
Don't read between the lines
Discouraging overthinking or seeking hidden meanings.
Fake the pledge and keep your
Repeating the warning against insincere commitments.
Heart at the right place and
Encouraging sincerity and authenticity.
Just try not to fall apart
Advising resilience in challenging situations.
When every step they take will
Anticipating negative consequences of actions.
Lead us to darker places
Emphasizing the potential for darker, more challenging situations.
Do you know what it means to lose
Reiterating the experience of losing control.
Your control over the things you chose
Reiterating the impact of losing control over choices.
We don't feel alright following a line
Discontent with conforming to societal expectations.
We won't compromise,
Stating the refusal to compromise.
Cause you're the ones who lied
Attributing deception to a specific group.
We are the ones you thought you own
Affirming individual ownership and rejecting control by others.
Close your eyes
Encouraging introspection or shutting out external influences.
Everything you see belongs to you
Asserting personal ownership of one's experiences.
