Without a Sound
Firewerk Lyrics

It can tell me you need separation
This situation is causing an emotional distance between us, even without us explicitly communicating it.

From the celebration without a sound
We are surrounded by others who are happy and celebrating, but we cannot participate in it because of how we feel.

It can tell me you're dissatisfied
Your discontent with the current situation is evident.

As they testify without a sound
Others may not have heard your dissatisfaction, but I can sense it without any overt expressions from you.

Leave them cold electronic trails
Our actions and communications are being recorded electronically, like a trail of breadcrumbs.

Like a battleground
The digital landscape can feel like a war zone.

Warm yourself on surveillance machines
We can use technology to our benefit, even as it monitors us.

Hey, our liberation is starting now
We can take control of our lives and our freedom, even in the face of surveillance and control.

It can call me reactionary
Some may view my response to these circumstances as radical or extreme.

The mission varies from sound to sound
Each situation requires a different approach or mission.

It can call me somewhat paranoid
Some might accuse me of being overly suspicious or fearful.

Can you get annoyed without a sound
It's possible to become frustrated or irritable without outward expressions or sound.

My hand in this is a dangerous thing
My actions in this digital landscape have consequences and can be harmful.

My mind on that is a dangerous thing
My thoughts and intentions can be dangerous in this monitored and controlled environment.

Show me like that to persevere
Demonstrate how to persist and survive in these circumstances.

Show me like that, generating fear
Use fear and intimidation tactics to show others how to navigate this hostile environment.

With your permission, for my submission
I will willingly submit to surveillance and control if it means I can survive and thrive.

It can tell me moral distinction
Ethical and moral considerations can be gleaned from subtle cues and signals.

Of its extinction, it's just a sound
The loss of something can be perceived as mere noise.

It can make us a little anxious
The constant monitoring and control can cause anxiety and stress.

Under surveillance, it's just a sound
Being monitored and recorded can be perceived as noise or background hum.

For self-preservation, check my background
To ensure my own survival and safety, I will comply with any background checks or screenings required by those in power.

It's about a vision, it's blind ambition
Our actions and pursuit of freedom and control may be guided by ideology or ambition, without clear sight or understanding of the consequences.

It's a battleground...
The digital landscape can be likened to a war zone, where conflict and control are constant struggles.

Without a sound
Much of this struggle and turmoil happens without any overt expressions or sounds.
