The Silence
Aimee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To signify whats wrong
Another sunny day that tells me
I must move on
Another cigarette, another cigarette will do
Enough to fill spaces between thoughts of you
I jump up and down for your attention
Rhyme after rhyme with you is my intention
But you don't notice do you?
Silence is violence
You don't notice do you
I'm trying to break through your silence
Silence is violence
You don't notice do you
I'm fighting but losing to your silence
Everytime I reach but your hands not out
Holes in the walls that we don't talk about
Another is it me
Baby talk to me
Loosing it while you watch tv
What's the matter
Can you feel me
You bite your tongue
What are you numb to me
What's the matter
This is killing me
Do you notice do you still love me
(With nothing
You just said everything with nothing)
Silence is violence
You don't notice do you
I'm fighting but losing to silence
Silence is violence
You don't notice do you
I'm fighting but losing to silence
The rain is the rhythm of my song for you
Puddles are splashing cleanse myself of you
There are no rainbows you have no life
Just me swimming in you drowning in your black and white
One time all my leaves are fallen off
There's no risk of fire when I'm burning
I'm burning, I'm burning
Silence is violence
You don't notice do you
I'm trying to break through your silence
Silence is violence
I don't know what to do
I'm fighting but losing to silence
In Aimee Allen's song "Silence Is Violence," the lyrics express the frustration of someone who is trying to communicate with their partner, but they remain silent and unresponsive. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that there is something wrong in the relationship but finds it difficult to move on. The lyrics then describe the singer's desperation to get the attention of their partner, to be noticed by them, but all in vain. They set flags, jump up and down, rhyme, but their partner remains unresponsive. Throughout the song, the singer tries to break through the silence but to no avail. The words "Silence is Violence" act as a central theme throughout the song, emphasizing how the partner's refusal to communicate is causing pain and damage to the relationship.
The chorus repeats the words "Silence is violence," implying that the lack of communication is escalating the situation to an unbearable point. The singer's desperation to be heard is juxtaposed with their partner's indifference. As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly isolated and feels as though they are drowning in their partner's silence. Even though the singer is struggling to hold on to the relationship, they are slowly burning from the inside out as their pleas for their partner's attention fall on deaf ears.

The rain is the rhythm of my song for you, Puddles are splashing cleanse myself of you
The rain becomes a part of the song I sing for you and the puddles act as a way for me to wash myself clean of you.
There are no rainbows you have no life, Just me swimming in you drowning in your black and white
You have no color or life to offer me and I am left to drown in the black and white world you provide.
One time all my leaves are fallen off, There's no risk of fire when I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning
I have lost all of my passion and there's no risk of me igniting a flame, but internally I feel like I'm slowly burning away.

Never in a Million years have I thought this song could sound so well orchestrated with a cello. And you just proved that theory with this cover. I’m more frustrated that no one isn’t showing this cover any support. Well done Aimee!!
