I Would Sit Alone In Silence
In Her Own Words Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the city of resistance, I haven't been feeling better about anything or anyone that I chose to believe in.
And something tells me I won't find the one thing that I needed
I'll pick myself up everyday.
Won't let the world around me become a cage I can't escape.
I keep in touch with my mistakes,
but when they surround me it's another panic state
And I never said a word about the way that I was feeling,
'cause I trained myself to lie and tell myself that I am fine.
Ever since I was a kid, I've always kept this pain inside.
And I never had that person that made everything alright
My mood is inconsistent and it changes with the weather.
In the city of resistance, I haven't been feeling better about
anything or anyone that I chose to believe in. Something tells me I'm about to see the consequence of feeling
If you ever tried to ask me what was going on inside,
I would sit alone in silence while my thoughts eat me alive
If I could just go back in time and stop myself,
I'd stop myself from holding everything inside of my head.
In my head lies the consequence of every feeling that I hide
The lyrics to "I Would Sit Alone in Silence" by In Her Own Words convey a strong sense of inner turmoil and isolation. The songwriter describes feeling inconsistent moods that shift with the weather, and a sense of disappointment and disillusionment with the people and beliefs they once held dear. The recurring refrain of "something tells me" suggests a sense of impending doom or negative consequences. Despite all this, the singer chooses to pick themselves up each day and not let the world around them trap them in a cage. They acknowledge their mistakes and take responsibility for them, but when they become overwhelming, it triggers a panic state.
The second verse reveals the extent to which the singer has internalized their pain and kept it hidden from others. They have trained themselves to lie and believe they are fine, even when they are not. The pain dates back to childhood, and there was no one to make everything alright. The repetition of the first verse in the second half of the song suggests that the singer is stuck in this cycle and can't change it. If someone were to ask them what was going on inside, they would retreat into themselves, unable to articulate their feelings. The final lines suggest that the consequences of repressing one's emotions are dire and can take a toll on one's mental health over time.
Overall, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of the impact of emotional repression and the toll it takes on an individual. The sense of isolation and impending doom permeates the song, giving the listener a sense of the singer's struggle.
