@[rockerchik154:52432] On the Billy Joel channel on Sirius XM, he says he wrote temporary lyrics that included the word "Zanzibar" just to not forget the rhythm, then his producer Phil Ramone said, "That sounds like it'd be a jazzy sports bar or something," and Billy said, "I like that! It's better than whatever I was thinking." |

| Billy Joel – Code Of Silence Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I see this as possibly coming from the perspective of a people pleaser who was in a relationship with someone who has uncaring/narcissistic/abusive tendencies and is afraid to go through it again: But you've been through it once You know how it ends You don't see the point Of going through it again This is how many people in this situation feel when they've been mentally beaten down over and over in a relationship. They just decide to shut down and not talk, because they feel the "punishment" isn't worth them speaking up, and that's something that can follow them even after a relationship has ended (hence the code of silence . . . something they feel ashamed about and feel they need to hide): To be living by a code of silence When you've really got a lot to say And then when Billy sings: What you went through It's something you Should be over now It sounds like something the toxic partner would say to the person. Or the people pleaser is beating themselves up thinking they should be over it by now. |
