Silencio
Display Lyrics

In Display's song "Silêncio," the singer expresses feelings of despair and disillusionment in a failing relationship. The opening lines, "Não há nada a fazer / Não quero me arrepender / Até quando continuar a acreditar / Em você" [There is nothing to do / I do not want to regret / Until when should I continue to believe / In you], suggest that the singer has reached a point of resignation: there is nothing more they can do to salvage the relationship, and they do not want to feel regret later for holding onto false hope.

The second verse, "Mas quando tudo chegar ao fim / Não há mais nada que possa fazer por mim / Se você deixou tudo acabar, não vai voltar / Nunca mais" [But when everything comes to an end / There is nothing more that can be done for me / If you allowed everything to end, you will not come back / Never again], reinforces this sense of finality. The singer acknowledges that, when the relationship ends, it will be too late to make amends or fix things. They also seem to understand that, even if the other person were to come back, they cannot continue to hold onto hope that things will change.

The chorus, "Não há nada a dizer / O silêncio me fez morrer / Até quando vou sofrer, e continuar / A me esconder" [There is nothing to say / The silence made me die / Until when will I suffer, and continue / To hide myself], encapsulates the emotional pain and isolation the singer is feeling. The silence between them and their partner has weight and is causing them emotional harm. They wonder when their suffering will end, and why they keep trying to hide from their true feelings.
