Silence
Breaking the Chains: Defying Silence and Embracing Change
Lyrics
When you're standing on the edge
Expressing readiness to step away from a risky or challenging situation.
I won't stand beside you
Declaring a refusal to offer support or solidarity in that precarious position.
I promise to make
Promising to take action, possibly to initiate change or progress.
Just only one step
Emphasizing the significance of a small or initial action.
When your silence
Highlighting a situation where someone is quiet or not speaking.
Means consent
Suggesting that silence can signify agreement or compliance.
I will be screaming
Asserting a willingness to be vocal or loud in opposition to silence or agreement.
For how long will we obey
Raising a question about the duration of conformity or submission.
If we want to change this world
Expressing a desire to bring about change in the world.
Scream
Encouraging vocal expression, potentially against oppression or injustice.
Scream
Repetition emphasizing the need for vocalization or outcry.
Scream
Reiterating the call for vocal protest or opposition.
Silence is our enemy!
Stating that silence is seen as an adversary, particularly in the context of change or progress.
We won't be slaves to your ideals
Refusing to be subservient to others' beliefs or principles.
We won't hang on your hook
Rejecting the idea of being controlled or influenced by others.
I'll burn all your books
Metaphorically expressing a determination to reject established ideas or norms.
That include and mention me
Refusing to be involved in materials that portray the individual negatively.
I'm not who you think I am
Rejecting an imposed identity or characterization.
I'm not just an ink on your leaf
Rejecting the notion of being merely a small part of someone else's story or narrative.
For how long will we obey
Repeating the earlier question about the duration of compliance or obedience.
If we want to change this world
Reiterating the desire for transformative action in the world.
