Nothing to Hide
Unveiling Secrets: Yo La Tengo's Reflection on Hidden Realities
Lyrics
We all decide
We collectively make decisions.
How to draw the line
Deciding where to set boundaries.
We've all got something to hide
Each of us has secrets or aspects concealed.
Stairs surprise
Unexpected elements in life, like stairs.
Glazes of any size
Various perspectives or sizes of challenges.
We've all got something to hide
We all have hidden aspects.
We've all got something to hide
Reiteration of the idea that everyone has something hidden.
Well wait, wait
Expressing anticipation.
We're gonna see what comes after
Exploring what follows in the future.
We're gonna see what comes after
Emphasizing the anticipation of the future.
Wait wait, harder not faster
Patience is essential, not rushing.
Harder not faster
Stressing the importance of patience over speed.
We might do time
Possibly facing consequences or challenges.
Set us straight like
Being corrected or guided.
We've all got something to hide
Acknowledging hidden aspects in each individual.
Clear the drive
Cleansing or removing stored information.
Morsels not in sight
Small, unnoticed fragments.
We've all got something to hide
Reiteration of the idea of hidden elements.
Well wait, wait
Expressing anticipation once again.
We're gonna see what comes after
Looking forward to what the future holds.
We're gonna see what comes after
Reiterating the anticipation of the future.
Wait wait, harder not faster
Emphasizing patience over speed.
Harder not faster
Highlighting the importance of being patient.
Well wait, wait
Anticipation of the future once more.
We're gonna see what comes after
Exploring what unfolds in the future.
We're gonna see what comes after
Continued emphasis on the anticipation of the future.
Wait wait, harder not faster
Underlining the need for patience over speed.
Harder not faster
Reiterating the importance of being patient.
We all decide
Collective decision-making once again.
We all like to draw the line
Expressing the shared inclination to set boundaries.
We've all got something to hide
Acknowledging hidden aspects in each individual.
We've all got something to hide
Reaffirmation that everyone has something concealed.
