Silence
DJ Tiesto feat Delerium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
Passion chokes the flower
Till she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I can't help this longing
Comfort me
I can't hold it all in
If you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
The lyrics of "Silence" by DJ Tiesto vs. Delerium & Sarah McLachlan describe a yearning for release and peace from overwhelming emotions. The singer is "outside" of themselves, witnessing their own struggle. They describe sinking in a "white wave" of silence and finding belief within it.
The song also touches on themes of beauty, possession, and longing. Passion "chokes the flower" until it can cry no more, possessing its beauty but still hungry for more. The singer acknowledges their own longing and asks for comfort, but feels unable to hold it in without the help of another.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a person struggling with intense emotions, seeking release and comfort within the silence that surrounds them. The idea of sinking in a white wave of silence can be interpreted as a form of surrender or acceptance of these emotions, finding peace within them rather than fighting against them.

Give me release
I am asking for freedom from the pain or burden that I am carrying
Witness me
I want someone to see what I am going through, to acknowledge my struggle
I am outside
I feel disconnected from the world, isolated from others
Give me peace
I am seeking inner calmness and tranquility
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
The idea of paradise is full of mystery and amazement
And I wanted to believe
I had hoped that it could be true
That I'd get caught up
That I would be able to lose myself, to find refuge
When the rage in me subsides
Once the anger or frustration within me calms down
In this white wave
In this moment of overwhelming emotion or feeling
I am sinking
I am losing control, going under the surface
In this silence
In this quiet moment, where nothing is said, but everything is felt
I believe
I have faith that there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel
Passion chokes the flower
Intense feelings and emotions can suffocate or overwhelm a person's spirit
Till she cries no more
Until there are no more tears to shed, until there is nothing left
Possessing all the beauty
Despite being broken or damaged, still holding onto its essence of perfection
Hungry still for more
Despite having much to offer, still longing for something more, something deeper
I can't help this longing
I cannot control my desire, my yearning for something more
Comfort me
Bring me solace, be a soothing presence
I can't hold it all in
I cannot contain, I cannot bottle up all that I am feeling
If you won't let me
If you are not there for me, I cannot bear this struggle alone

You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave I believe

Tiesto is an amazing DJ. I've been listening to him for years and would go several hours playing his mixes while gaming. Every time I hear techno I feel the urge to play again.
