Hold Your Tongue
Silent Resonance: Finding Peace in Unspoken Words
Lyrics
Hold your tongue and walk away
Exercise restraint and refrain from speaking
Say it's been a lovely day
Express that the day has been pleasant or enjoyable
Say tomorrow evening's fine
Suggest that the following evening is a suitable time
Meet me by Saint John's divine
Arrange to meet at a location associated with religious significance (Saint John's)
Until discordant bells have rung
Wait until conflicting or jarring bells have finished ringing
Hold, hold your tongue
Reiterate the instruction to hold back from speaking
Hold your tongue and walk away
Repeat the advice to refrain from speaking
Say it's been a heavenly day
Describe the day as heavenly or blissful
Angels sing a lullaby
Refer to the imagery of angels singing a soothing song
Hush now don't you start to cry
Encourage someone not to cry
Gilded wing and silver lung
Reference to luxurious or precious attributes (gilded wing, silver lung)
Hold, hold your tongue
Repeat the instruction to withhold speech
I'll say what I want to say
Assert the right to speak freely
And when I want it said
Express the readiness to voice opinions when desired
But tonight's not coming down on me
Emphasize that the pressure or weight of the moment is not affecting oneself
Hold your tongue until it's gone
Advise to remain silent until a situation has passed
All your words might come undone
Warn that speaking might undo or negate previous words
Say goodnight and walk away
Suggest saying goodnight and leaving the situation
Silent bells begin to sway
Describe the start of quiet or peaceful bells
Chiming melodies unsung
Reference to unheard or unexpressed harmonious tunes
Hold, hold your tongue
Repeat the advice to restrain from speaking
And hold, hold your tongue
Reiterate the instruction to hold back from speaking
And hold, hold your tongue
Reinforce the advice to withhold speech
