Silence Is Golden
Brian Poole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see someone do something to her
Oh don't it pain to see someone cry
How especially if that someone is her
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see
Even though there is no where to go
How could she tell he deceived her so well
Pity she'll be the last one to know
How many times will she fall for his lines
Should I tell her or should I be cool
And if I tried I know she'd say I lied
Mind your business don't hurt her you fool
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see
The lyrics of Brian Poole & The Tremeloes's song Silence Is Golden convey the pain and hurt of watching someone you care about being mistreated by their partner. The singer expresses his agony at witnessing someone important in his life being brought to tears by their significant other's actions. It is clear that he deeply cares for her since he feels her pain as if it were his own.
The song acknowledges that although silence is often perceived as a virtue, it can also be painful. The singer is torn between his desire to protect the woman he cares for and his fear of interfering in her relationship. He recognizes that talking about the issue is easy and predictable, but it is not always the best solution. He understands that people often blindly follow others even when they know they are heading nowhere.
The lyrics present the struggle of watching a loved one struggle in a toxic relationship, and the difficulty in deciding whether to intervene and potentially ruin their relationship, or remain silent and watch them suffer. It highlights the importance of communication in any relationship, and the danger of staying silent in the face of abuse and deception.
