Silence
Dom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the silence of the night
There's a storm we cannot fight
Shadows linger in the walls
As she's trying not to fall

The echoes scream the whispers cry
In every heart that passes by
Bruised and broken can't hide the pain
I the house where love's in chains

(Oh-oh-oh)
In a world that's full of lies
Every tear a silent prize
(the hurt runs deep can't you see?)
It's a darkness we all share
Shadows of a love so rare
If you look you will find me

Every child with haunted eyes
Carries scars that never die
Innocence it fades away
In the light of breaking day

Neighbors turn their heads pretend
That the hurting's gonna end
But in the quiet of the night
We all know it's a losing fight

(Oh-oh-oh)
In a world that's full of lies
Every tear a silent prize
(The hurt runs deep can't you see?)
It's a darkness we all share
Shadows of a love so rare
If you look you will find me

In a world that's full of lies
Every tear a silent prize
(The hurt runs deep can't you see?)
It's a darkness we all share
Shadows of a love so rare
If you look you will find me

In the silence we must find
Strength to change this heart of mine
Reach out break the chain
Together we can heal the pain

In the silence of our hearts
Let us mend what's torn apart
For the love that we all seek
Lies in the voice of the weak

(Oh-oh-oh)
In a world that's full of lies

In a world that's full of lies
Every tear a silent prize

Overall Meaning

In "Silence," Dom paints a poignant picture of emotional struggle and the complexities of human relationships. The opening lines create an atmosphere of darkness and turmoil, suggesting that the quiet of night harbors inner conflicts—symbolized by the "storm we cannot fight." This storm represents the tribulations that individuals face, often hidden behind a facade of normalcy. The mention of shadows in the walls indicates an oppressive atmosphere, where emotional burdens linger, suggesting that the singer is grappling with feelings of despair and vulnerability. The image of "trying not to fall" serves as a metaphor for resisting a deeper emotional collapse, hinting at the self-induced pressures to maintain composure amidst inner chaos.


As the song progresses, Dom delves into the broader implications of suffering. The lines "The echoes scream the whispers cry" evoke a sense of desperation, illustrating how pain reverberates through the environment, affecting everyone around. The sentiments expressed reflect a shared human experience, where bruised and broken hearts are unable to conceal their hurt. The reference to "the house where love's in chains" powerfully conveys the constrictions and limitations that love can impose, transforming what should be a source of joy into a landscape of entrapment. This duality of love—its capacity to both bind and restrict—underscores the emotional turmoil that many endure in their personal relationships, emphasizing a collective struggle against concealed anguish.


The repeated assertion that the world is "full of lies" reinforces the theme of disillusionment, as the singer grapples with the stark realities of life. Tears, described as "silent prizes," paradoxically suggest that pain often carries notoriety or significance in a society that rarely acknowledges it. The recurring refrain highlights the deep-rooted connection and grief that unite all individuals, illustrating that this darkness, though isolating, is a universal human experience. Dom’s lyrics emphasize the importance of recognizing and confronting this collective sorrow, as well as the rarity of truly authentic love, often overshadowed by the afflictions that accompany it.


However, the song ultimately shifts to a tone of hope and resilience. The lines urging listeners to "find strength to change this heart of mine" call for introspection and a collective effort to move past the hurt. There is an invitation to mend fractured bonds, suggesting that healing can emerge from shared vulnerability. In the lines that address the need to "reach out break the chain," Dom emphasizes the power of connection, implying that love and understanding can offer a pathway towards liberation from the chains of suffering. Thus, "Silence" becomes not merely a reflection on pain but also a clarion call for healing, urging individuals to seek out the voices often overlooked—the voices of the weak—thus fostering unity and compassion in a world weighed down by despair.

Nem gyengén beborult muzsika a lélek álom-mélységeiből. Nem állítom,hogy zeneileg nagy szám lenne,de hogy van atmoszférája,az viszont biztos!
