Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silence, the silence within me, is deep within, is deep within, silence, the silence within me, you've got to wake up
Silence, the silence within me, is deep within, is deep within, silence, the silence within me, you've got to wake up

So now you think you're blind
You could never see
The truth behind your lies
You don't - think; you walked away
I'm falling down the road

I thought this world would end
You seem so sick of this world
Why - don't - you - just - leave

I - blame no one for my regrets
No one cares
Think you walked away
The darker the hole
I regress
The sounds of the words is all that's left

Because the world is over
I had to let this go
Cause we can't go on anymore
The world is over
I had to let this go
Cause we can't go on anymore

Silence, the silence within me, is deep within, is deep within, silence, the silence within me, we can't go on anymore
Silence, the silence within me, is deep within, is deep within, silence, the silence within me, you've got to wake up

Because the world is over
I had to let this go
Cause we can't go on anymore
The world is over
I had to let this go
Cause we can't go on anymore
Cause the world is over
I had to let this go
Cause we can't go on anymore
The world is over

I had to let this go
Cause we can't go on anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "TBnoT" by Crossbreed is a reflection on the deep sense of loneliness and isolation that the singer is experiencing. The repeated refrain of "Silence, the silence within me, is deep within" represents the internal void that the singer feels, and the urgent call to "wake up" suggests that this sense of emptiness is something that needs to be addressed before it's too late. The verses of the song deal with the pain of a failed relationship and the sense of abandonment that the singer is feeling. The lines "You don't - think; you walked away/I'm falling down the road" convey a feeling of helplessness in the face of someone leaving, and the sense of the world coming to an end that the singer feels is a poignant representation of the intense emotional turmoil that accompanies a breakup.

The repeated refrain of "the world is over/I had to let this go/Cause we can't go on anymore" gives voice to the emotional exhaustion that the singer is experiencing, and the sense of finality that comes at the end of a relationship. The fact that the singer is letting go is an important part of the healing process, but it's also a reminder that this process can be painful and difficult. The use of the phrase "the sounds of the words is all that's left" suggests that even as the relationship fades away, the memories and emotions associated with it remain, and are an important part of the singer's emotional landscape.

Overall, "TBnoT" is a powerful expression of the emotional depth and complexity of the human experience. The song touches on themes of isolation, heartbreak, and the search for meaning in the face of difficult circumstances.
