I Don't Wanna Face It

D, Bm, G
La chanson exprime un profond désir de vérité face à l'hypocrisie et aux mensonges de la société. L'auteur se dit épuisé par les discours des politiciens et des personnes étroites d'esprit qui ne cherchent qu'à manipuler ou à masquer la réalité. Il réclame une transparence sincère et se montre critique envers ceux qui utilisent le pouvoir pour leurs propres intérêts, sans se soucier des véritables enjeux. L'œuvre a été écrite dans un contexte de tensions sociales et politiques, où de nombreux artistes exprimaient leur désillusion face à l'autorité et la recherche de justice. Cela évoque des thèmes universels qui résonnent encore aujourd'hui, nous rappelant l'importance de sentir et comprendre la vérité sans embellissement.
