Quiet
MAVI PHOENIX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for everybody in my life
I hold it down
I tell 'em when the time is right
You know that it ain't true
You know I'm a liar
You know I desire
A riot
Make the world go quiet
oh so fucking quiet
They say you are shy but
Their words make you tired
They make you tired
Let's go to sleep
I wanna close my eyes and dream
I want it to happen peacefully
Life is always on now
I'm always awake now
Make the world go quiet
Make the world go quiet
So quiet
Look at my face
Look at it now
Is there something you can't go without
Is there nothing you can't go without
You can't go anywhere without me
I don't know where to start, I
shoot an arrow in the dark, I
found a face that I can trust with my life
But I am so messed up
I see no light
Let's go to sleep
I wanna close my eyes and dream
I want it to happen peacefully
You know that it ain't true
You know I'm a liar
You know I desire
For you to be a riot
A riot
Make the world go quiet
oh so fucking quiet
They say you are shy but
Their words make you tired
They make you tired
I don't really know how to let go
Cause you glow, cause you glow
Still you glow so
I don't really know how to let go
Still you glow, Still you glow
Still you glow so
I don't really know
I don't really know
I don't really know
How to let go
How to let go
Still you glow, Still you glow
Still you glow so
In this song, MAVI PHOENIX talks about holding things together for everyone in her life even if it means she has to lie. She desires for someone to be a riot, to make the world go quiet, and make her feel peaceful. At the same time, she acknowledges the fact that her words and actions are not always true, and she struggles to let go of someone who glows and makes her life better.
The first verse shows how she tries to hold everything together in her life, even if it means sacrificing her truthfulness. Telling people what they want to hear can be exhausting and make one feel like a liar. However, she realizes that she wants someone to bring some chaos into her mundane life and make her world go quiet so she can find some peace.
In the pre-chorus, MAVI PHOENIX reflects on the words people use to describe her and the exhaustion she feels from hearing them. It is unclear if the "you" in the lyrics refers to a specific person or if it represents the world at large. Nevertheless, the words that people use to describe her make her tired and desire for some peace and quiet.
In the chorus, she tells the person she desires to be a riot to make the world go quiet. The world is always loud, and it can be challenging to find a moment of peace. She wants that person to make the world quiet for her so that she can finally get some rest. In the second verse, MAVI PHOENIX finds solace in the glow of the person she desires. It is unclear what this glow represents. Still, it suggests that this person brings light into her life, and she struggles to let go of them even though she knows she should.
Overall, the song explores the dilemma of holding things together for everyone and the desire for peace and freedom from the noise of the world.

You can't go anywhere without me
You can't travel without my presence
I don't know where to start, I
I'm unsure about how to commence
shoot an arrow in the dark, I
Taking a shot in the dark with no indication of the outcome
found a face that I can trust with my life
Found a person who is reliable with my life
But I am so messed up
I'm confused and unstable
I see no light
I don't see a way out or a solution
Still you glow, Still you glow
You still shine brightly
I don't really know how to let go
I'm unaware of how to move on from this situation
How to let go
How to release myself from this mental and emotional burden
Still you glow so
You are still radiating and thriving despite my confusion
