Our Lips Are Sealed

The lyrics describe two people facing gossip and lies from others. At first, they notice the talk and seem aware that it may hurt them, but the mood becomes more confident and reassuring. They decide not to answer their critics, and the speaker comforts a loved one by telling them not to cry or believe the rumors.

“Our lips are sealed” is an idiom meaning that the pair will stay quiet; here, silence is presented as a deliberate way to avoid feeding the gossip. The lyrics also call silence a “weapon,” suggesting that refusing to react can protect them or frustrate the people spreading rumors. “Look right through them” means to ignore the critics as if they were not there, rather than to confront them directly.

The song treats the rumors as part of “jealous games,” but it does not explain what caused them or whether every accusation is false. The speakers sound sure that the talk should not matter, yet their repeated attention to it suggests that it still affects them. Their silence may be confidence, self-protection, or both.
