Inner Silence
Anathema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the day draws to a close,
When the light of your life sighs,
And love dies in your eyes,
Only then will I realize,
What you mean to me
The lyrics of Anathema's song "Inner Silence" speak to the feelings of loss and realization that come when a relationship is ending. The opening lines describe a moment of silence and reflection at the end of the day when thoughts turn inward. The line "when the light of your life sighs" can be interpreted as the moment when a person realizes that the passion in their relationship has faded, and they are left feeling empty and alone. The following line "and love dies in your eyes" reinforces this feeling of loss.
The chorus of the song contains the emotional heart of the piece with the repetition of the phrase "only then will I realize what you mean to me." This line speaks to the idea that it is often only after a relationship has ended that we can fully appreciate the depth of our love for someone. The final lines of the chorus, "what you meant for me, will be my destiny" suggest that even though the relationship may be over, the memories and emotions surrounding the relationship will continue to shape the singer's life and future.
Overall, the lyrics of "Inner Silence" are a poignant and heartfelt exploration of the emotions surrounding the end of a relationship.

When the silence beckons
As the stillness of the night approaches
And the day draws to a close
As the day comes to an end
When the light of your life sighs
As the brightness of your existence dwindles
And love dies in your eyes
As the affection in your gaze fades away
Only then will I realize
Only in that moment will I comprehend
What you mean to me
The significance you hold in my heart

When the silence beckons,
And the day draws to a close,
When the light of your life sighs,
And love dies in your eyes,
Only then will I realise,

And the day draws to a close
When the light of your life sighs
And love dies in your eyes
Only then will I realize

Always loved this song. This ending with drum slowly turning into heartbeat is pure excellence.

One of the songs that seems perfect and not enough at the same time, a beautiful reverberation of a lonely teardrop falling in a still ocean of solitude, giving birth to a motion that will linger unseen into the farthest depths of memory... sorry, didn't make much sense... i just love this song, goes great with the immage too
