Sleep In Silence
Intwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's come to getting what you want you're a killer
A snake in the grass with your camouflage pass
But u never had to fight or struggle for your dinner
Check the headlines, and critize
Mister know it all with your ras seeing eyes
But every comment that you make only acts as a disguise
Pretending that you care pretending that you're wise
Sleep in silence, sleep in silence
As I watched over you
As you breathe in
And you breathe out
And the world stand still
Doesn't make a sound
And I cry and I cry and I don't know why
And I hope tomorrow will be better
And I hide the thoughts deep in my mind
I still hope tomorrow will be better
And the tears keep raining
Like bullets around my head, oh
And I cry and I cry and I don't know why
Some man a take life for granted
Ehwn them no get what they want they can't understand it
Some no know what they got look how they still want more
Sitting back doing nothing saying life is a bore
It's a pity that you're pretty
'Cause you're rotten to the core
And when ya shed tears ya self nah know what for
For every little issue you want start a friggin war
Because every time it drizzle you go act like it poor
Sleep in silence, sleep in silence
As I watched over you
As you breathe in
And you breathe out
And the world stand still
Doesn't make a sound
And I cry and I cry and I don't know why
And I hope tomorrow will be better
And I hide the thoughts deep in my mind
I still hope tomorrow will be better
And the tears keep raining
Lik bullets around my head, oh
And I cry and I cry and I don't know why
This live is full of light make sure you use it to glow
Every mistake that you make you can use that to grow
If ya slip of and trip don't get sunk down low
Stumble on your feet, jump back inna de flow
Huff and buff and blow and blow
Take what you need cause I'm going always have more
Whether dem a friend of whether dem a fo
But before you get that me going have to let go
Critics and back biters
What is ya want take a bite of
Does it make you feel tougher
When you see a man suffer
I guess I'm a struggler
But I'ma struggle for my right y'all
So when you see me with my lighter, better
Stay away from the fire
Bunn ya!!
Intwine's "Sleep in Silence" is a powerful song that encompasses themes of hope, despair, and frustration. The song starts with a scathing critique of people who are manipulative and always manage to get what they want without having to put in any hard work. The lyrics describe these people as snakes in grass, camouflaging themselves and hiding their true intentions. They are criticized for their lack of empathy and their tendency to put on a facade of caring and wisdom.
As the song progresses, it becomes more introspective and emotional. The lyrics repeatedly describe the experience of crying and feeling lost without knowing why. The singer expresses a desire for a better future and a hope that things will improve. There is also a theme of resilience and perseverance, with the advice to use mistakes as opportunities for growth and to keep moving forward despite setbacks.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, repeating the phrase "sleep in silence" over and over again. The idea of sleeping in silence may symbolize a desire for peace and stillness, while also serving as a warning to those who have wronged the singer.
Overall, "Sleep in Silence" is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to reflect on their own values and the way they interact with others.
