Human
Unspoken Echoes: Exploring the Depths of Silence in Vasilis Dokakis' 'Human'
Lyrics
Why is it that you never talk?
Questioning the lack of communication and dialogue.
You never say a word
Highlighting the silence and absence of words.
Before it adds up and you lose control
Warning about the consequences of avoiding issues and losing control.
Before you wind up burning out alone
Expressing the potential outcome of facing challenges alone.
Why is it that you never talk?
Reiteration of the question about the lack of communication.
You never say a word.
Reemphasizing the persistent silence and lack of words.
For all the things that keep you up all night
Referring to things that keep one awake at night.
The phantom play, repeating in your mind
Mentioning a recurring mental scenario, possibly troubling thoughts.
How's it like in there?
Posing questions about one's inner world and state of mind.
Do you revolve around yourself?
Asking if the person is self-centered or introspective.
Or are you wandering where stars align?
Wondering if the person is contemplating the cosmic order.
A dot within a vast immense of time.
Describing the individual as a small entity in the vastness of time.
Why is it that we never talk?
Extending the lack of communication to a broader context.
We never say a word
Reiterating the absence of verbal interaction.
We're undulating noise, a shadow tongue,
Describing a chaotic, indecipherable communication style.
A rogue commune, we're fragile like a bomb.
Comparing the community to a fragile and explosive situation.
Now that we lose ourselves
Reflecting on losing oneself in challenging circumstances.
Inside these broken halls
Describing a state of being within broken and difficult environments.
We realize there're things inside
Acknowledging internal struggles that light cannot resolve.
That light won't heal or bend
Highlighting issues that cannot be healed or resolved by light.
Nor define.
Emphasizing the inability of light to define certain internal matters.
Now that we find ourselves
Observing the difficulty in understanding oneself.
It so hard to see
Expressing challenges in foreseeing the future.
What will be..
Pondering the uncertainties of what lies ahead.
Why is it that we never talk?
Repeating the question about the lack of communication.
The world is slowly sinking in a hole
Commenting on a world in crisis or decline.
The words are hard to find
Highlighting the difficulty in expressing oneself.
We need to try, we need to find our own.
Emphasizing the need for effort in finding one's path or truth.
