Lyrics
If I am silent then I am not real
If I remain silent, I am perceived as non-existent.
But if I speak up then no one will hear
Speaking up may not guarantee being heard by others.
If I wear a mask there's somewhere to hide
Wearing a mask provides a place to conceal oneself.
Silence is Golden
Emphasizing the value of silence.
I have been broken
Expressing a state of being emotionally or physically damaged.
Safe in my own skin
Feeling secure within one's own identity.
So nobody wins
Highlighting that in a situation of conflict, no one truly triumphs.
If I raise my voice will someone get hurt
Raising one's voice might cause harm to others.
And if I can't feel then I won't get touched
Numbing emotions to avoid vulnerability.
If no truths are spoken then no lies can hide
Pointing out the potential for lies when truths remain unspoken.
Silence is Golden
Reiterating the idea that silence is valuable.
Nobody gets in
Emphasizing the difficulty for others to penetrate one's inner world.
Safe in my own skin
Reaffirming a sense of security within oneself.
So nobody wins
Stating the lack of true winners in conflicts.
Did you hear me speak
Seeking acknowledgment for one's communication.
Do you understand
Inquiring about the understanding of the message conveyed.
Did you hear my voice
Asking if one's voice has been heard.
Will you hold my hand
Seeking comfort and connection through physical contact.
Do you understand me
Reiterating the desire for understanding.
Won't someone listen
Expressing a plea for someone to listen to what is being said.
Nobody gets in
Reaffirming the challenge of allowing others into one's inner world.
My body's a temple
Describing the body as a sacred place, yet acknowledging complexity.
But nothing is simple
Highlighting the complexity and challenges in life despite simplicity being desired.
Silence is golden
Reiterating the value of silence despite personal brokenness.
I have been broken
Reiterating a state of emotional or physical damage.
Something was stolen
Suggesting the loss or theft of something important.
Safe in my own skin
Reaffirming a sense of security within one's own identity.
