Trauma
GINA ÉTÉ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How does the weight of your past cause you pain?
How does the weight of your past now cause you pain?
Can you still find enough reason to remain
In anger you shouldn′t have to bear?
How do the terrors you've seen intrigue your dreams?
How do the terrors you′ve seen intrigue your dreams?
Can you still dream or are nightmares all that seem
To remind you of you of what you can not bear?
I am sorry for what my country's done to you
I am sorry for what my country′s done to you
I am sorry for what my country′s done to you
I am sorry for what my country's done to you
I am so sorry for what my country′s done to you, done to you
I am sorry for what my country's done to you
I am sorry for what my country′s done to you, done to you
I am sorry for what my country's done to you, done to you
I am so sorry for what my country′s done to you, done to you
I am sorry for what my country's done to you, done to you
I am so sorry for what my country's done to you, done to you

Wow, ich liebe die Sounds und die Thematik des Textes so ausdrucksstark in so abstrakte Weise zu spiegeln, ist nicht nur Kunst, sondern extremes menschliches Feingefühl für das sichtbar und zugänglich machen von massiven gesellschaftlichen Missständen.
