Vow of Silence
Lemon Demon Lyrics

I'll never have a chance to say Everything I want to say, But that's okay, I don't need To say a thing anyway.
Despite the fact that there are things that I want to express, I have come to terms with the fact that I may never have the chance to communicate them. However, I am content with this situation and recognize that sometimes it is unnecessary to speak at all.

Just want to take it in, See the world, watch it spin, Learn to play the violin. I'll even try to shed Any words from my head. Think in Mentalese instead.
Rather than always feeling the need to speak, I simply desire to observe the world around me and enjoy its beauty. I even aspire to learn new skills such as playing an instrument. I may even try to stop the constant stream of thoughts in my mind and simply think without language.

Don't call me on a telephone. I don't wanna be alone, But I have grown out of it, So leave a message at the tone.
I prefer not to receive communication through a phone call, although I do not wish to be completely isolated. However, I have learned to become accustomed to solitude and if I am unavailable to answer the phone, please leave a message.

And I'll take a vow of silence. (Shut up, shut up, shut up.) I'll take a vow of silence. (Shut up, shut up, shut up, Shut up, shut up, shut up.) I'll take a vow of…
I have decided to make a commitment to be silent. I acknowledge that this may be a difficult task, so I am mentally preparing myself by repeating the phrase 'shut up'. This is something that I am truly serious about and I will follow through with it.

Silence means that you can't speak, You can't let things out, they stay inside. You just sit and nod like a quiet freak, And you hold your tongue and you swallow your pride. And if you're travelling down the street And suddenly witness a crime, You've gotta keep it to yourself, You've gotta keep it inside Your quiet little mind. Until the end of time.
Being silent means refraining from speaking and holding all of your innermost thoughts and feelings to yourself. This can make you appear strange or abnormal to others who may not understand. It also means that if you witness something unsettling or criminal, you cannot share it with others and you must keep it to yourself indefinitely.

And you've got to… Shut up, shut up, shut up. (Seen and not heard.) Shut up, shut up, shut up. (Not a single word) Shut up, shut up, shut up. (For the rest of your life.) Shut up, shut up, shut up.
To remain silent and carry out the vow, it is necessary to tell yourself to refrain from speaking. This involves repeating the phrase 'shut up'. The idea is that you must maintain this silence always, even if it feels like you are being told to stay hidden and invisible.

Now I'm no silent snob, But Teller and Silent Bob Tend to do an awful job. But let me tell you, son, Harpo Marx is the one. I wouldn't be surprised If he didn't have a tongue.
Although I am choosing to be silent, I am not doing it with an air of superiority over those who are more talkative. I acknowledge that some who are known for being silent are not actually very good at it. However, Harpo Marx is someone who has mastered the art of being quiet to such an extent that it is almost as if he never had a tongue in the first place.

Whoa, I'll take a vow of silence. (Shut up, shut up, shut up.) I'll take a vow of silence. (Shut up, shut up, shut up, Shut up, shut up, shut up.) I'll take a vow of… I'll take a vow of… I'll take a vow of… Silence… Silence… Silence.
Reaffirming my commitment to this new lifestyle, I repeat my vow of silence. This may be difficult, so I will remind myself to stay quiet until it becomes a deeply ingrained habit that remains within me even if I am not reciting the phrase 'shut up'.
