Speed of Silence
Journey Through Unspoken Emotions
Lyrics
All the letters I ever wrote you,
Alluding to past correspondence with the listener.
And some of them I even sent
Some letters were actually sent to the listener.
All this time we've been waiting
Waiting for a significant moment to arrive.
For this moment to arrive
The awaited moment has finally come.
And now it's here
Expressing the realization that the moment is here.
Now I know I could kiss you,
Contemplating the idea of kissing, but with hesitation.
But before I do
Prior to the kiss, questioning whether to let go.
Do we want to let go
Considering the continuation of a magical feeling.
Of this magic,
Should the magic transform into reality?
And let it turn to truth
Transition from mystery to truth.
From mystery,
Turning hope into history.
Let all this hope be history
Reflecting on the speed of fear.
And it's as fast as fear,
Comparing the speed of silence to fear.
As it cuts away the sound
Describing the impact of silence in removing sound.
And slaps you when you're smiling
Highlighting the abruptness of adversity.
Just how easily you lose
Emphasizing the ease of losing what is cherished.
Everything you've found
Loss occurring at the swift pace of silence.
At the speed of silence
Reiterating the theme of events happening silently.
When you told me you loved me,
Recalling a moment when love was confessed.
And I didn't say a word
The speaker's silence in response to love.
I said I was sorry
Expressing regret and apologizing.
And you pretended
Revealing the listener's pretense of not hearing.
You never heard at all
Addressing the avoidance of acknowledging the apology.
It's funny how the tears
Observing the paradox of tears without drowning.
Can well up,
Emphasizing emotional intensity without succumbing.
But neither of us ever drown
Reflecting on resilience despite challenges.
How many times
Musing on the reliability of sunrise.
We bring the sun up, sure
Believing the sun won't fall, only to witness it.
It won't fall down
Accepting the unexpected fall of the sun.
And there it goes
Observing the departure of the sun.
And leaves us staring
Leaving the speaker introspective.
At our toes
Contemplating the consequences of the sun's departure.
Chorus:
Beginning the chorus, likening wind and water interaction.
It's the way the wind blows the water
Describing the impact of wind on the surface of water.
But nothing underneath it moves
Noting the stillness beneath the surface.
When I asked you what you wanted
Asking about desires without a verbal response.
You didn't speak and then I knew
Realizing the answer through silence.
Everything was ruined again
Expressing a sense of ruin and disappointment.
(Chorus)
Concluding with a reiterated chorus.
