Originally rising to fame as lead singer in the Christian rock band, Messenger, formed in 2010, he became a favorite during the early auditions of American Idol. Dixon auditioned in the tenth season, along with his sister Schyler, at the Nashville auditions. However, neither of them ended up in the Top 24. After he was sent home, Dixon performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 3, 2011.
Dixon returned in season 11, however he did not plan to audition, initially planning to merely accompany his sister Schyler to her audition. The judges implored Dixon to audition as well, where he sang David Cook's "Permanent". Both he and Schyler were awarded golden tickets. Schyler was cut yet again during the Las Vegas round, which brought him to tears.
On February 23, 2012, Dixon was placed in the season 11 Top 25. In the semi-finals, he performed Paramore's "Decode". He was one of the top five male vote getters and advanced into the Top 13.

Colton Dixon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I don't know how to disarm
Where is the silence
That simple silence
Every day is a time bomb
Ticking louder till it goes off
Where is the silence
'Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything has come alive, oh
But I'm getting lost in the sound
I need to hear your voice
Reminding me that at the end of the day
No matter what goes down I'll be okay
Even through the noise
I'm looking high and I'm looking low
It's the same any place I go
Where is the silence
Where is it hiding
Gonna come what may be
But things are getting kind of crazy
Where is the silence
Can't get no silence
'Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything has come alive, oh
But I'm getting lost in the sound
I need to hear your voice
Reminding me that at the end of the day
No matter what goes down I'll be okay
Even through the noise
Whisper my name, whisper my name
When it's getting too high
Whisper my name, whisper my name
Tell me that it's alright
Whisper my name, whisper my name
When it's getting too high
Whisper my name, whisper my name
Tell me that it's alright
'Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything has come alive, oh
But I'm getting lost in the sound
I need to hear Your voice
Reminding me that at the end of the day
No matter what goes down I'll be okay
Even through the noise
Even through the noise

Overall, the song is a powerful reminder that we all need a moment of silence or peace in our lives, and sometimes we need someone we trust to remind us that everything will be okay.

I love Colton's music, up until today however, i have only heard what he performed at american idol. And today, listening to his music, i realized this is exactly what i needed to hear. I have been so distracted from my spiritual life lately, and i've felt empty again... and his music has help me realize that. Keep making music Colton.
