Lyrics
[Intro — quiet, close]
(soft)
I used to think it was just them…
⸻
Now I’m starting to think…
it’s everything…
⸻
[Verse 1 — personal + observational]
Mum on the phone saying “we’ll make it work”
⸻
Voice sounds calm but I know it hurts…
⸻
Gas went up, now the lights stay off…
⸻
Kettle on once, then we leave it off…
⸻
They say “budget better”, like we ain’t tried…
⸻
Like we ain’t been cutting things just to get by…
⸻
But they don’t see that side of the street…
⸻
They just talk while we try to eat…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — tension]
(soft)
You can feel it…
in every home…
⸻
But no one says it…
we just get on…
⸻
[Hook — vibey, haunting]
(smooth)
It’s a polite society…
Keep your head down, don’t question things…
⸻
Say it’s fine… say it’s meant to be…
Even when it’s breaking me…
⸻
Polite society…
play your role, don’t cause a scene…
⸻
Close your eyes…
and just believe…
⸻
[Verse 2 — sharper, targeted (without names)]
Suit and tie, talking numbers again…
⸻
Laughing like it’s not affecting them…
⸻
Talking cuts from a polished room…
⸻
While people choosing what they can’t consume…
⸻
Saying “growth” like we’re meant to clap…
⸻
But it don’t reach where we’re living at…
⸻
They debate like it’s just a game…
⸻
Then step outside and forget our names…
⸻
[Switch — quicker, biting]
Say it’s stable, say it’s fine
Say it’s working, give it time
⸻
Same old script, different face
Same old lines that we embrace
⸻
We adapt ‘cause we have to live
Take what’s left, not what they give
⸻
Truth feels risky, silence safe
So we carry on, day to day
⸻
[Bridge — stripped, personal]
(quiet)
I’m not angry…
I’m just tired…
⸻
Tired of hearing…
what don’t align…
⸻
Tired of feeling…
like this is it…
⸻
And we’re just meant…
to live with it…
⸻
[Final Hook — heavier]
(slightly darker)
It’s a polite society…
Where nothing’s ever what it seems…
⸻
Say it’s fine… say it’s meant to be…
Even when it’s killing me…
⸻
Polite society…
we’re all part of the machine…
⸻
Close your eyes…
and just believe…
⸻
[Outro — quiet, cutting]
(soft)
They’ll say it’s better…
⸻
You’ll feel it isn’t…
⸻
And somehow…
that’s normal now…
