Duck Hush and Be Still
Veto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's blind it can't tell whether truth is a lie
Used a sewer 'cause the street's are not safe
And don't tell anyone that you're tryin' to escape
And don't make a sound while you are runnin' away
'cause desertion is not looked upon mildly these days
Duck for the camera lens
Do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
And we can leave if that's what it takes
To make us feel good, to make us feel safe
But maybe runnin' is the easy way out
We could fight for the right ways, fight for our birthplace
And we should not let these people forget what they've done
'cause they fed us lies and made us fear everyone
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with yourself
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with yourself
The lyrics of "Duck Hush and Be Still" by Veto describe a state of surveillance and control, in which individuals must constantly watch their step and censor their actions and words in order to avoid punishment or persecution. The song encourages the listener to resist this state of oppression and to fight for what is right, even if it means taking risks and facing danger. The metaphor of "ducking" and "hushing" highlights the need for caution and secrecy in the face of omnipresent surveillance, while the call to action to "change all the things that are wrong with this place" suggests that change is possible if we are willing to confront the forces of oppression that seek to keep us silent and obedient. Ultimately, the song urges us to take responsibility for our own destinies, to stand up for what we believe in, and to resist the forces that seek to hold us back.
Line by Line Meaning
Duck tape that mechanical eye
Cover up that surveillance camera
When it's blind it can't tell whether truth is a lie
Without evidence or proof, the truth can be manipulated
Used a sewer 'cause the street's are not safe
Avoid the obvious or expected path as danger lurks there
And don't tell anyone that you're tryin' to escape
Keep your intentions and plans to yourself
And don't make a sound while you are runnin' away
Silent movements are key to avoiding detection
'cause desertion is not looked upon mildly these days
Desertion is a serious offense and will not be taken lightly by those in power
Hush for the microphone
Don't speak in public or on record
Do whatever you can where you are
Take action and make changes within your current circumstances and surroundings
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
Make efforts to improve the issues and injustices present in the current society or community
And we can leave if that's what it takes
Escape is an option, but not necessarily the best solution
To make us feel good, to make us feel safe
Escaping can provide temporary relief from the dangers and fears
But maybe runnin' is the easy way out
Escaping doesn't necessarily solve the root causes of the problems
We could fight for the right ways, fight for our birthplace
Standing up for justice and our homeland is a noble and courageous option
And we should not let these people forget what they've done
Hold those in power accountable for their actions and decisions
'cause they fed us lies and made us fear everyone
The ruling class perpetuates fear and misinformation to retain their power
But do whatever you can where you are
Take action in any way possible in your current location and situation
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
Efforts to address and fix the injustices and issues within society
To change all the things that are wrong with yourself
Make personal improvements to become a better individual and contribute to a better community
