Silence or Sound
Echoes of Inner Turmoil: Embracing Silence Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
When the silence arrives
Experiencing a state of quietness or emptiness
I ache with the desire for sound
Longing for or craving the presence of sound
But when war hits the sky
Reference to a metaphorical war in the sky, suggesting conflict or turbulence
Have I lost all I found
Questioning if everything previously discovered or gained is now lost due to the conflict
I sit alone and hold ceasefire
Sitting alone and maintaining a temporary pause in hostilities
You’d think that I should end up higher
Contrary to expectations, not achieving a higher state despite the ceasefire
I’m tired
Expressing fatigue
I’m so tired
Reiterating the feeling of exhaustion
Ohh ohh ohh
Repetition of vocalizations, possibly conveying emotional intensity
The stillness burns
Feeling a burning sensation in the stillness
A quiet yearn
Expressing a quiet yearning or desire
Ohh ohh ohh
Repetition of vocalizations, suggesting continued emotional intensity
For all the noise
Desiring all the noise or commotion
I feel destroyed
Feeling devastated or ruined
In the shallow I drown
Metaphorically drowning in shallowness or superficiality
I go deeper so I know I’m alive
Choosing to go deeper to affirm one's existence
Underwater I’ve found
Finding something meaningful underwater despite the pressure
That the pressure takes the weight of my mind
Recognizing that pressure alleviates the burden on the mind
As the waves they get much higher
Facing increasing challenges or difficulties represented by rising waves
The water starts to feel like fire
Experiencing heightened emotional intensity, likening water to fire
I’m fine
Expressing personal well-being
It’s alright
Reassuring oneself that everything is fine
Ohh ohh ohh
Repetition of vocalizations, indicating sustained emotional experience
The stillness burns
Reiterating the burning sensation in the stillness
A quiet yearn
Repetition of a quiet yearning or desire
Ohh ohh ohh
Repetition of vocalizations, reflecting ongoing emotional turmoil
For the noise
Desiring the noise or commotion
I feel destroyed
Feeling devastated or ruined
I’m letting go of common sense
Choosing to abandon common sense and embrace a deeper, riskier situation
And falling in the deepest end I know
Falling into the deepest, most challenging situation one knows
I need to let go
Recognizing the need to let go of something
To be ok I play pretend
Using pretend or illusion to cope and be okay
And dress up in a mask and different clothes
Wearing a metaphorical mask and adopting different personas to cope with challenges
I need to let go
Reiterating the need to let go of something for personal well-being
