Dying In Silence
Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there still a heartfelt discomfort in you
Deep down inside to live these lies
Addicted to goodwill
On bleeding knees you're waiting for the answers
With gazing eyes you're hoping for a sign
Annihilation of your spirits
Forsaken, unseen. Forsaken and unseen
Always accepting the inevitable
Won't make you find your peace
There is no substitute for your lost dignity
No one shall ever poison the worlds in you,
The treasures in your heart
At the end of life there's only black and white
On bleeding knees you're waiting for the answers
With gazing eyes you're hoping for a sign
Annihilation of your spirits
Dreams die in silence and piece by piece you go with them
Forsaken, unseen. Forsaken and unseen
The lyrics to Heaven Shall Burn's song Dying In Silence speak to the struggle of maintaining one's own sense of self and dignity in the face of constant pressure and manipulation from those around them. The opening lines ask how many times a person can endure having their will bent before they break and die inside. The following lines suggest that there may still be a sense of discomfort within the person, a recognition that they are living a lie and addicted to the approval of others. The chorus speaks to the idea of waiting for answers and hoping for a sign, while feeling as though one's spirit is being annihilated. The final lines of the song suggest that holding on to one's dignity and treasures within can help maintain a sense of self even in the face of the inevitability of death.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The singer of the song may be feeling as though they are constantly being pushed down by those around them, but they maintain the strength to keep going and hold on to their own beliefs and values. The chorus suggests that this can be a painful and difficult process, but that ultimately there is no substitute for one's own sense of dignity and self-worth. In the end, the song seems to suggest that even though life may be filled with struggle and pain, holding on to one's sense of self and dignity can help one find inner peace.
