All Hail The Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna stay in sorrow tonight
This war without words
It's starting to wear me down
There's more to life
Than promises that are never found
Another paradise is shattered on the floor
Our love has come undone
I don't know how to say goodbye
Or without it killin' me?
I see a photograph
Of how it should be
I don't know what to say
'Cause it's not you and me
Like a rose in the dirt
This bright heart will heal the past
I don't wanna die
I want a love that is built to last
Another paradise is shattered on the floor
Too many elements have burned away
Our love has come undone
I don't know how to say goodbye
Or without it killin' me
Another paradise is shattered on the floor
Too many elements have burned away
Our love has come undone
Another paradise is shattered on the floor
Too many elements have burned away
Our love has come undone
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye
Or without it killin' me
The lyrics of "Temptation" by All Hail The Silence speak about a relationship that is falling apart despite the desire to keep it together. The singer doesn't want to see the happiness they once shared fade away, and they don't want to remain in sorrow any longer. However, the war without words, the unspoken tensions, and the broken promises have started to wear them down. The singer admits that they don't know how to say goodbye, as it would kill them to do so. They see a photograph of how their relationship should be, but it's not like that anymore.
The chorus repeats the phrases "Another paradise is shattered on the floor" and "Our love has come undone," emphasizing how the relationship is breaking down. The singer doesn't know how to deal with the situation, and they want a love that is built to last, unlike the one that they had. The last line of the song, "I don't know how to say goodbye or without it killin' me," tells us that the relationship is worth fighting for, even if it hurts them.
Overall, "Temptation" is a heartfelt and emotional song that speaks to the struggles that come with relationships. It delivers a powerful message about the desire to hold onto what we love.

I don't wanna see this happiness die
I want our happiness to continue and not fade away
I don't wanna stay in sorrow tonight
I don't want to be sad tonight and want to be happy
This war without words
Our silent conflict is slowly breaking me
It's starting to wear me down
It's slowly starting to drain my energy and spirit
There's more to life
Life has more to offer than what we have now
Than promises that are never found
I want more than empty promises that are never fulfilled
Another paradise is shattered on the floor
Another dream or hope is destroyed and gone forever
Too many elements have burned away
Too many things that held us together have disappeared
Our love has come undone
Our love is falling apart and unraveling
I don't know how to say goodbye
I'm unsure of how to end things and let go
Or without it killin' me?
I don't know how to move on without it hurting me immensely
I see a photograph
I have a vision of how things could have been
Of how it should be
Of how perfect and fulfilling our love could have been
I don't know what to say
I'm lost for words and don't know how to express myself
'Cause it's not you and me
Because our relationship is not what it used to be
Like a rose in the dirt
Like a symbol of hope and beauty amidst a bleak and hopeless situation
This bright heart will heal the past
My optimistic heart will overcome the pain of the past
I don't wanna die
I don't want to give up or lose hope
I want a love that is built to last
I want a love that is resilient and can withstand any challenge

BT has been doing this shit for years, and not watering down his sound to make hits with whatever pop singer is hot at the moment, which I'm sure he could easily do if he wanted. Much respect.
Simon Vegas
Is leaving behind a legacy!

goodness knows I've been living in the 80's (musically) for so darned long. And new creative voices do help me remember my youth. This is excellent stuff. All hail.

So awesome. Brian's composition and synth wizardry is just incredible.

By far, my favorite song of 2019 by any group. Met you all in Oroville, Ca on 4th of July when you toured with HoJo and Men Without Hats. Great guys and damn great music. So glad you sold your album to me. It’s getting me through another lonely night on Coronavirus lockdown. And making me happy. 💃🏻 Thank You, All Hail the Silence ! 💕

This has been so many years in the making. I think this is the home for these two guys. Such a genuine project, despite it's roots, which some might think they're just copying, but I don't hear that. It's an honest attempt at what I think is a continuation on sounds forgotten. I hope ears don't miss whats happening here because it's something truly special in music.

Both are so passionate about the 80s and synths that it truly does make this project special. I'm really glad they're getting to finally turning this album into a reality. A long time in the making for sure. Also loving that Brian is finally working with his heroes and getting recognized by them. The Howard Jones tracks are sounding killer.

That Howard Jones stuff.... Fuuuuuuck!!!! I'm getting that just on principal!!!

the intro for this track gave me vibes of the song shinjuku mad - old friends again
it took me a long time to find that song, the old timey echoing piano with emotionally drawn breathing and singing. so mystical and passionate.
I was brought to all hail the silence from paralyzed; the powerful invigorating masterpiece that it was. that song paved the way for what would be all hail the silence. still the amazing and energetic illustrious duo from long ago.
this band gives me wild deja vu to the 80's. the whole music style is like bringing back all of the talent from that time period~ wondrous and magical as it is.

Such an amazing album ❤️💙🎵🎶
