Without a Sound
Circle II Circle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the vision of a face that I once knew
I feel your whispers when no one hears a word
And I know your voice will never go unheard
You better not run
I'm here tonight
And we are one
Lonely nights by candlelight
I swear I've seen you there
Winter finds me
Searching out
I'm captured in your stare
Voices I can't seem to find
They speak without a sound
Knowing that you're there
Is all that matters now
What have you become
What is to be
When our days are done
Lonely nights by candlelight
I swear I've seen you there
Winter finds me
Searching out
I'm captured in your stare
Voices I can't seem to find
They speak without a sound
Knowing that you're there
Is all that matters now
You better not run
Why am I
The chosen one
Lonely nights by candlelight
I swear I've seen you there
Winter finds me
Searching out
I'm captured in your stare
Voices I can't seem to find
They speak without a sound
Knowing that you're there
Is all that matters now
The song "Without A Sound" by Circle II Circle is a deep and emotional piece that expresses a strong connection with a departed loved one. The lyrics convey the idea of feeling the presence of the person even when they are not physically present. It starts with the singer feeling the presence of the departed loved one as soon as they walk into the room, even though they are not there physically. The singer sees the vision of a face they once knew and feels the whispers of the person even when no one else does. The singer knows that the voice of the loved one will never go unheard, conveying a message that the love and the memories of the person still resonate with them.
The second verse of the song talks about the loneliness that the singer feels while searching out in the winter. However, they are sure that they have seen the person they yearn for during these moments, captured in their stare. The voices that the singer is not able to find speak without a sound, making it evident that the person they are missing is always present in some way, even if it is not in a physical form. In the end, the singer implores the parting person not to run away as they are together, and the connection between them is unbreakable.
Overall, "Without A Sound" is a poignant song that talks about the feeling of loss and abandonment after losing someone. It deals with the bittersweet connection that remains even after the person is gone and the void that they leave behind. The song's lyrics and melody work together, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and vulnerability that perfectly captures the emotions being expressed.
