You decide whether you look at your reality or live pretending these feelings don't exist

Tori Amos is a singer-songwriter known for her raw and emotional lyrics that often delve into the depths of human emotions and experiences. In many of her songs, she explores themes of love, loss, pain, and self-discovery. One recurring theme in her music is the idea of facing reality and confronting one's true feelings, rather than burying them beneath a facade of denial.

In the song "Silent All These Years," Tori Amos sings about the pain of feeling silenced and invisible, of pretending that everything is fine when deep down she is struggling with her emotions. The lyrics speak to the idea of living in denial, of refusing to acknowledge the truth of one's feelings and experiences. The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of facing reality and allowing oneself to feel and express emotions, even when it is difficult.
