Noisy Voices
Diafanes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't hear your voice but I can see your lips move
That's because we are missing the invisible

All those things that i can't touch nor see
Make me wonder what is this world I feel
All those noises, and all those voices I can hear
Are they real, as real as me?
Are these machine voices as real as those in thoughts?
Is the sound a mechanical power or a sensation?





There are many things around me that I can't notice
Limited senses show me this narrow part of truth

Overall Meaning

Diafanes's song Noisy Voices is a reflection on the limitations of human perception and the doubts that arise from it as a result. The opening line "I can't hear your voice but I can see your lips move" sets the tone for the song, suggesting a disconnect between what we perceive and what actually exists. The line "That's because we are missing the invisible" speaks to the notion that there are many things in the world that are beyond our sense of perception - things that cannot be seen, touched, or heard, but that nonetheless exist. The following lines "All those things that I can't touch nor see, make me wonder what is this world I feel" express a feeling of uncertainty and curiosity in the face of this limitation.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it questions the nature of reality itself. The lyrics "All those noises, and all those voices I can hear, are they real, as real as me?" speak to the idea that what we hear and perceive may not be objective reality, but rather a subjective construct within our own minds. The line "Are these machine voices as real as those in thoughts?" further explores this idea by suggesting that our ability to distinguish between mechanical and organic sounds may be limited. Finally, the line "Is the sound a mechanical power or a sensation?" underscores the uncertainty that permeates the song, suggesting that even our most basic understanding of the world around us may be flawed.


Overall, Noisy Voices is a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of human perception and the doubts and questions that arise as a result. Through its introspective lyrics and evocative instrumentation, the song invites the listener to contemplate the mysteries of the world and their own place within it.

But I'm still searching for that something that is pure
Something that won't fade away like youth

And I follow that path with my heart and mind


I'm trying to see beyond simple perception
To leave confusion and doubt behind


Noisy voices surround my daily life
But I know I have to find my own way


Looking for answers in a world of strife
Hoping to find some peace today
