Quiet
Embracing Silence: Finding Serenity in the Noise
Lyrics
Everything looks different from way out here
Perception changes when viewed from a distance.
Maybe color wasn't made to disappear
Suggests that colors may not be meant to fade away.
If I cover up my eyes the sound around gets quiet
Blocking sight enhances the perception of silence.
Goodbye
Expression of farewell or departure.
The voices in my head are growing louder every night But every time I close my eyes the noise gets quiet
Mention of increasing inner voices at night but finding quiet when closing eyes.
We all need quiet
Highlighting the universal need for silence.
Do we live in darkness to know there's light?
Raising philosophical questions about experiencing darkness to appreciate light.
Can the world seem bright even though it's night?
Pondering if the world can seem bright despite the darkness of the night.
If I cover up my eyes the world seems to be just fine
Suggests that blocking sight makes the world appear fine.
Goodbye
Reiteration of farewell or departure.
The voices in my head are growing louder every night But every time I close my eyes the noise gets quiet
Repetition of inner voices growing louder but finding peace with closed eyes.
We all need quiet
Emphasizes the common human need for silence.
How can I hear that small voice
Raising a question about hearing a subtle voice.
when you're whisper it to me
Metaphor for difficulty in perceiving subtle messages.
It's like catching shadows in the dark
Comparing understanding to catching shadows in the dark.
and waiting to be free
Desire for liberation while waiting in obscurity.
you're my sweet serenity
Referring to someone as a source of calm and tranquility.
Goodbye
Expression of farewell or departure.
The voices in my head are growing louder every night But every time I close my eyes the noise gets quiet
Reiteration of inner voices intensifying at night but finding solace with closed eyes.
We all need quiet
Restating the universal need for silence.

We all need quiet
