Not When You Don't Care
Silkstone Lyrics

we all think the world is fine
Many of us believe that the world is in good condition and doesn't require our attention.

and death is just a waste of time
We don't assign a lot of significance to death and see it only as an unproductive use of our time.

why would you care...
It doesn't make sense to you to care about things or people who don't affect you directly.

things happen now and then
Occasionally, unexpected events unfold in our lives or in the lives of others.

and you don't really give a damn
You don't show any concern about these events, and they don't affect you, either way.

when you weren't there...
You didn't witness or experience the events, so why should you care about them?

why, why would this bother
You wonder why anyone would be upset or bothered by these events, as they don't have a significant impact on them.

life just seems alright
In your opinion, life is going well for you, and you don't want anything to disrupt that.

you can't take me down there
You refuse to be brought down by life's challenges or negative events that you perceive as having little bearing on your life.

why would i wonder what to do now
You don't see any reason to feel lost or unsure about your next steps when things are going well for you.

when the world has lost its mind
You recognize that the world is in a state of chaos or frenzy, but you're not bothered by it because it doesn't affect you directly.

hey i'm feeling fine
You're content with your current situation and don't wish for anything to change.

but not when you don't care...
However, the lack of empathy or concern from others for those experiencing difficulties bothers you a great deal.

school's out and victim's down
A tragic event has taken place where someone has been victimized, and it's occurred while school is not in session.

but no one seems to be around
Few people are available or willing to help in the situation, making it even more challenging.

cause you weren't there...
Those who weren't present or involved during the tragic event or its aftermath don't feel any sense of obligation to help.

i'm afraid
You feel worried or frightened about the state of the world or the future.

of the world today
Your concern is specifically about current events and their impact on society and individual lives.

breath the air
You're trying to remain present and aware of your surroundings, even though it's difficult in light of global turmoil.

and try and seem to care
You're making an effort to care about others and show concern for their well-being.

open mind
You're keeping an open and non-judgmental attitude towards others, even when you might not agree with their views.

try to feel alright
You're making a conscious effort to feel okay and maintain a positive outlook, even when it's challenging given the circumstances.

but i'm afraid
Despite your best efforts, you still feel apprehensive and uneasy about the future.

of the world, and i need you to be
You realize that the issues facing the world are too big to tackle alone, and you're asking for help from others to create positive change.
