Can't Keep Me Silent
Angelic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I guess it's human nature
How people out-talk each other
But then we face the danger
Of only listening to ourselves
In the pressure of the situation
I wont let my tongue get tied
A silent voice in the congregation
I refuse to live a lie





Can't keep me silent
Can't keep me silent

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Angelic's song "Can't Keep Me Silent" showcase the importance of speaking up and having a voice in a world that often values being heard over listening to others. The opening line reminds us that it's natural for people to talk over each other, but it's important to recognize the danger in only listening to ourselves. The singer pledges to not let the pressure of the situation silence them or tie their tongue, instead choosing to be a silent voice in the congregation - someone who may not shout the loudest, but whose conviction and truth cannot be silenced.


In the chorus, the singer repeats "Can't keep me silent" as a declaration of their refusal to be silenced or forced into living a lie. It's through this repetition that the song drives home the importance of speaking up and being heard.


Line by Line Meaning

Well I guess it's human nature
It's typical for humans to behave this way


How people out-talk each other
People tend to talk over each other


But then we face the danger
However, this may lead to potential harm


Of only listening to ourselves
When we only hear our own voice, we miss out on others' perspectives


In the pressure of the situation
During stressful times


I wont let my tongue get tied
I will not let my nerves prevent me from speaking up


A silent voice in the congregation
Even if others do not speak, I will still make my voice heard


I refuse to live a lie
I will not be dishonest with myself or others


Can't keep me silent
I refuse to be silenced


Can't keep me silent
My voice will continue to be heard
