Sound of Silence
Dami Im (Australia) Lyrics

Growing tired and weary brown eyes
I am becoming exhausted and my eyes are weary from constantly trying to connect with you through video calls.

Trying to feel your love through face time
I am attempting to experience your affection and love despite being physically separated through the use of technology.

Symphonies of dreams and highlights
My mind is filled with a variety of dreams and positive moments that we have experienced together in the past.

Caught up in this crazy fast life
I am overwhelmed and consumed by the incredibly hectic and fast-paced lifestyle that I am leading without you.

But baby you're not here with me
Unfortunately, you are not physically present with me, which is making these moments incredibly difficult to handle.

And I keep calling, calling
Despite the fact that I know you are not able to answer, I continue to make attempts at calling you because I want to feel closer to you.

Now my heart awakes to the sound of silence
My heart has become increasingly aware of your absence and the resulting silence that it has created in my life.

And it beats to the sound of silence
Even though I am physically alone, my heart continues to beat and remind me of the emptiness that has resulted since you have been gone.

Getting hard to break through the madness
The chaos and disorder surrounding me is becoming increasingly difficult to handle and navigate without your presence to help balance it out.

You're not here it never makes sense
Not having you here with me is not only confusing, but it also causes a lot of inner turmoil and anxiety.

Tidal waves of tears are crashing
I am experiencing a tremendous amount of sadness and grief, and these emotions seem to come in waves that are difficult to control or stop.

No one here to save me drowning
Without you here to provide support and comfort, I feel as though I am drowning in my sorrow and struggling to keep my head above water.

'Cause baby you're not here with me
The main cause of my distress and turmoil is the fact that you are not physically present with me.

And I keep calling, calling
Despite knowing that I will not receive a response, I continue to call and reach out to you in order to feel more connected to you in some way.

I know I'm stronger and I'm capable
Despite my sorrow and feelings of loss, I am aware of my own strength and resilience.

I know it's all in my head
Despite my overwhelming emotions, I know that many of these feelings are created and perpetuated by my own thoughts and perceptions.

But I keep calling, calling
Regardless of this knowledge, I continue to try to contact you in order to feel closer to you and alleviate some of my distress.

Now my heart awakes to the sound of silence
Again, my heart is becoming increasingly aware of the emptiness and silence that has resulted from your absence.

And it beats to the sound of silence
Despite the lack of presence and activity around me, my heart continues to beat and remind me of the pain and longing that I feel for you.

And it beats to the sound of silence
Once again, I am reminding myself that even in moments of quiet and stillness, my heart continues to ache for your return.
