Silent Scream
Dr. Sin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Filling these sidewalks
Everyday after five
Choking for space
Are they dead or alive
Looking past faces
Are they human or beast
Dancing with the devil
They're as good as the deceased

Crawling like snakes
Living like slaves
It's the death of the spirit
A deafening sound
Listen to the silent scream

Millions of people
It's the life on the brink
Everyone's shouting
Can't hear yourself think
A parade of confusion
Of loss and regret
Sold out for convenience
They deserve what they get

Crawling like snakes
Living like slaves

I hear the people they cry with no sound
I hear the silent scream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dr. Sin's Silent Scream depict the chaotic life of people living in a crowded city, possibly a metropolis, where everyone is drowned out by the sheer number of individuals. The first verse talks about the overcrowded sidewalks, with people struggling to find their way through. The lines "Choking for space, Are they dead or alive" could be interpreted as people feeling trapped in a system that doesn't allow them to live a fulfilling life. The second half of the verse tries to highlight the fact that these people are more or less like zombies, not quite living, nor quite dead, with their expressionless faces hiding the torment and agony inside.

The second verse emphasizes the point that life in such a city is nothing short of a nightmare. "Everyone's shouting, Can't hear yourself think," portrays the lack of individuality and the groupthink that reigns the materialistic society. The lines "Sold out for convenience, They deserve what they get" perhaps point out the role of the people themselves in creating and perpetuating this system. The chorus "Crawling like snakes, Living like slaves, Listen to the silent scream" tries to drive home the point that people, essentially, have lost their freedom, their souls, and have become mere elements of an oppressive system. They have no voice to articulate their pain and suffering, but only a silent scream that goes unheard.

Overall, Silent Scream is a critique of modern society, where the individual is lost amidst the hordes of people, and the system crushes any attempt at attaining true individuality and freedom.

The sidewalks are full of people every day after five. There are so many people crammed together that it's impossible to tell if they're dead or alive. People are just faces, and it is unclear if they are human or not. These people are living a life that is just as good as dead because they are caught up in the evil of the world.

Crawling like snakes Living like slaves It's the death of the spirit A deafening sound Listen to the silent scream
People are moving around like snakes and living a life like a slave. It seems like they have lost their spirit and are living a life that is full of deafening sounds. There's no one who is able to listen to the silent scream of these suffering people.

Millions of people are living their life on the brink of destruction. The crowded place is filled with people shouting and it's hard to listen to your own thoughts. It's a parade of confusion, filled with regrets and loss. They have sold their individuality for the sake of convenience, and they believe they deserve what they get as a result of their actions.

Crawling like snakes Living like slaves I hear the people they cry with no sound I hear the silent scream
People are moving around like snakes, living a life that is almost like slavery. People cry without making any sound, and their pain is unheard. I can hear their silent scream because they are suffering and unable to put it into words.
