Lyrics
Not speaking up
Choosing silence, avoiding verbal expression
Fearing, alienation
Feeling a sense of isolation or exclusion
Oppressing all thoughts of despair and delight
Suppressing both feelings of hopelessness and joy
Society preys on those who speak out
Highlighting societal pressure against outspokenness
Better keep inside
Suggesting it's safer to keep emotions hidden
Look, at how we hide
Reflecting on the act of concealing one's true self
Social media
Commenting on the constant exposure on social media
Always on display
Referring to the constant public visibility online
Anger
List of emotions, both positive and negative, displayed online
Fear
-Hatred
-Envy
-Obsession
-Aggression
-Happiness
-Happiness
-A Faustian bargain
Describing a deal with severe consequences
Concealed in plain sight
Saying the problematic aspects are visible but ignored
Look at how we hide
Reiterating the theme of hiding in plain sight
From our parents
Hiding from different generations, emphasizing secrecy
From our children
-From the end right from the start
-Taking substances and shaming love
Engaging in destructive behavior and condemning love
All the things we feel inside
Acknowledging concealed internal struggles
Not speaking up
Repeating the theme of avoiding verbal expression
Fearing, alienation
Reiterating the fear of isolation and exclusion
Anxiously awaiting to be found out as a fraud
Expressing anxiety about being exposed as a fake
A thought dressed in self repression
Describing a thought dressed in self-repression
Look at how we hide
Encouraging observation of society's tendency to hide
From reactions from rejections
Avoiding reactions and rejection, maintaining a facade
Being vulnerable and sad
Being unwilling to show vulnerability and sadness
Taking substances and shaming lust
Indulging in harmful behavior and condemning desire
All the things we feel inside
Acknowledging suppressed emotions
