Silent
Anna Richey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same faces around me with the same point of view
Everything is perfect, everything's ok
Just swallow the lies and let your emotions fade
But my heart won't be quiet, I feel a change
No more black and white
This life's too colorful, beautiful
I'm ready now, it's time (gotta go, gotta get out of this town)
And leave my fear behind (nothing left over here can't stick around)
My dreams are loud and my heart's wide awake
And all I know is I'm not meant to be silent
Wake up to a new voice telling me where to go
It sounds like I got no choice but to keep on this road
Got my own opinion, my own words to say
Got my own visions, so I know I can't stay
There's no looking back now, I feel a change
I'm letting go it's time yeah (gotta go, gotta get out of this town)
And leave my fear behind me (nothing left over here can't stick around)
I'm ready now it's time yeah (gotta go, gotta get of this town)
And leave my fear behind me (nothing left over here can't stick around)
My dreams are loud and my heart's wide awake
And all I know is I'm not meant to be silent
The song "Silent" by Anna Richey talks about breaking free from a life that does not make one feel alive. The song's lyrics suggest that the singer, despite living what seems to be a perfect life, feels stifled by the monotony of their existence. They realize that they are not meant to be silent and that there is a change that they need to make in their life. The singer is ready to let go of their fear, take chances and follow their heart's desires, which they have been keeping quiet for too long.
The lyrics suggest some form of internal conflict between conforming and following one's desires. The singer feels trapped by the same old routine and the same people but can no longer endure living in what they perceive to be a lie. The song's lyrics encourage taking bold steps in the pursuit of one's dreams, even if it means having to leave behind what is comfortable and familiar.
The chorus, 'My dreams are loud and my heart's wide awake, And all I know is I'm not meant to be silent' is a rallying cry for anyone who feels stuck in their current situation and is looking for inspiration to make a change. These words suggest that by taking a chance and pursuing your passions, you might find your true calling.
