House Of Silence
Bad Boys Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my dreams I met a girl
Somewhere down the river
She took me to an ancient house
She looked young but also wise
Something made me shiver
She was both dead and alive
And I could see the ravens fly
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Girl: Give me your love)
I saw her sleep but couldn't hear
What the girl was saying
And sadness filled the misty night
Then I tried to hold her back
While she was slowly fading
Bittersweet was her smile
And I could see the ravens fly
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Girl: Give me your love)
(Girl: Give me your love)
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
In the house of silence far from here




Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bad Boys Blue's song House of Silence seem to be describing a dream or a surreal experience that the singer had. In the dream, the singer meets a young girl who takes them to an ancient house. The girl seems to possess wisdom beyond her youth and also possesses an eerie quality of being both dead and alive. This creates a sense of unease for the singer, as they witness ravens flying about the house. In this dream, the house seems to be a place of isolation and detachment from the world, as distant voices seem to emanate from the air, and shadows dance for a hundred years.


The girl in the dream appears to be a symbol of unattainable love or a longing for something that is ultimately unreachable. This is demonstrated by the girl's bittersweet smile, which evokes sadness rather than joy. The dream is a manifestation of the singer's inner turmoil, where they experience both fascination and fear in equal measure. The house of silence represents a place of inner reflection and introspection, where one can confront their deepest fears and desires. However, it is also a place of sadness and despair, which creates a paradox for the singer.

House Of Silence
In my dreams I met a girl
Somewhere down the river
She took me to an ancient house
She looked young, but also wise
Something made me shiver
She was both dead and alive
And I could see the ravens fly

In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Girl, give me your love)

I saw her sleep but couldn't hear
What the girl was saying
And sadness filled the misty night
Then I tried to hold her back
While she was slowly fading
Bittersweet was her smile
And I could see the ravens fly

In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Girl, give me your love)
(Girl, give me your love)

In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years

In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears

Casa do Silêncio
Em meus sonhos eu conheci uma garota
Em algum lugar abaixo do rio
Ela me levou para uma antiga casa
Ela parecia jovem, mas também sábia
Algo me fez tremer
Ela era ao mesmo tempo viva e morta
E eu podia ver os corvos voar

Na casa de silêncio muito longe daqui
Vozes distantes saindo do ar
A casa do silêncio envia nossas lágrimas
Sombras dançantes por cem anos
E eles choram
(Garota, me dê seu amor)

Eu vi dormindo, mas não podia ouvir
O que a menina estava dizendo
E a tristeza encheu a noite enevoada
Então eu tentei segurá-la de volta
Enquanto ela estava enfraquecendo lentamente
Amargo foi seu sorriso
E eu podia ver os corvos voar

Na casa de silêncio muito longe daqui
Vozes distantes saindo do ar
A casa do silêncio envia nossas lágrimas
Sombras dançantes por cem anos
E eles choram
(Garota, me dê seu amor)
(Garota, me dê seu amor)

Na casa de silêncio muito longe daqui
Vozes distantes saindo do ar
A casa do silêncio envia nossas lágrimas
Sombras dançantes por cem anos

Na casa de silêncio muito longe daqui
Vozes distantes saindo do ar
A casa do silêncio envia nossas lágrimas
