Silence Returns
Beau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to be heard, never a word.
Always the attitude
Sort out your own, always alone,
Wishing for something the world is denying.
Out in the wilderness, somebody's crying.
Somebody wishing for something to happen,
Someone was listening,
Someone who cared, never despaired.
Someone to lean on and someone to trust.
Who needs your assistance, and finds your disgust?
Something that you have the power to give,
To give or to take. To make or to break
The innocent spirit
Of somebody's hope; assistance to cope.
The water that heals or the fire that burns?
Out in the wilderness, silence returns...
The lyrics of Beau's song "Silence Returns" speak about the pain of loneliness and the longing for someone to care and listen. The first verse describes the broken silence by someone crying, trying to express themselves but never finding the right words. The second line talks about the person's attitude of always trying to sort out things on their own, feeling alone in the world that denies them what they truly desire. The imagery of being out in the wilderness adds to the theme of feeling lost and isolated.
The second verse talks about the person's wish for someone to listen and care. They desperately need someone to trust and lean on, but often find only disgust and indifference from those around them. The lyrics ask who needs your assistance and finds your disgust, pointing out the lack of empathy and caring in the world. The final lines describe the power of our words and actions in either uplifting or breaking someone's spirit. The metaphor of water healing or fire burning describes this power, and the chorus ends with the haunting image of silence returning.
Overall, "Silence Returns" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the human need for connection and empathy. It highlights the pain of feeling alone in a world that often values individualism over caring for others. The lyrics also remind us of the power we possess to either help or harm those around us.
