The Silence
The Silence: Buried Truths and Unforgiving Consequences
Lyrics
What is this
Expressing confusion or curiosity about a situation or circumstance.
What is this that made us wonder who we are
Questioning the impact of something on the identity or self-perception of the speaker.
We couldn't face
Acknowledging an unwillingness to confront or deal with a certain reality.
What we had done and so we covered up the scars
Attempting to hide or conceal the emotional wounds or consequences of past actions.
And now we hope
Despite challenges, there is still a lingering sense of optimism.
But our hope is buried underneath that night
Optimism is overshadowed or buried by a specific traumatic event or experience.
We can't escape
Feeling trapped or confined by a pervasive silence and a falsehood.
And the silence holds us captive with this lie
The silence is a significant factor in the emotional captivity experienced by the speaker.
And it all comes back to this
Reflecting on the central theme or root cause of the current situation.
What was an ordinary moment
An event that seemed ordinary at the time is now revealed as pivotal or life-changing.
Tore the sky and cut us open and now
Describing the profound impact of the ordinary moment, leading to emotional vulnerability.
I can not forgive
Expressing difficulty in pardoning or moving past a significant wrongdoing.
Or forget what we have done
The memory of the wrongdoing is ingrained and cannot be erased or ignored.
The silence has become the end of us
The silence, born out of the wrongdoing, becomes a destructive force in the speaker's life.
We believed
Believing that maintaining silence was the only path to rediscovering innocence.
That keeping quiet was the only way to find
Linking silence to the pursuit of returning to a state of innocence.
Innocence
Associating silence with a means of regaining lost purity or goodness.
To get us back to who we were before that night
The desire to revert to the pre-trauma state before the mentioned night.
And it all comes back to this
Reiteration of the central theme and its connection to the ordinary moment.
It was an ordinary moment
Reemphasizing the profound impact of the seemingly ordinary event.
Tore the sky and cut us open and now
The lasting consequences of the ordinary moment, leading to an inability to forgive.
I can not forgive
Reiterating the difficulty in forgiving the actions committed.
Or forget what we have done
The unforgettable nature of the past actions and their impact on the speaker.
The silence has become the end of us
The continued presence of silence as a destructive force in the speaker's life.
And I beg for the day when
Hoping for a future day when the truth will bring consequences for the actions committed.
The truth will make us pay for this
An acknowledgment of the eventual accountability that truth will demand.
Do you believe
Posing a question about the erasing power of silence on memories.
That the silence can erase the memory
Questioning whether silence has the ability to remove or obliterate memories.
And it all comes back to this
Recalling the central theme and its connection to the ordinary moment once again.
It was an ordinary moment
Reiterating the profound impact and consequences of the seemingly ordinary event.
Tore the sky and cut us open and now
Expressing the enduring nature of the emotional wounds and the difficulty in forgetting.
I can not forgive
Reiterating the challenging nature of forgiveness for the committed actions.
Or forget what we have done
The persistent influence of silence as a destructive force in the speaker's life.
The silence has become the end of us
Summarizing the overall impact of silence as the ultimate downfall for the speaker.
The silence has become the end of us
Reaffirming that the silence has become the definitive end for the speaker.
