Silence Is a Scary Sound
McFly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look into the sky and I have to ask why she'd go and leave me
Oh
Why do feelings have to die
Is it all just a sign of what it's meant to be

Well I'm just too excited
The end of this can't be sighted
She's overdue for a break out
I better go
She blows my brains out
Silence is a scary sound

Funny feeling happened today, somewhere buried in the past
Didn't mean much
That much anyway
I know that love wont ever last

I'm torn up in inside
There's a hole in my mind when you're not next to me
So I hope you choke and die on every single lie
And it's what you've done to me

Well I'm just too excited
The end of this can't be sighted
She's overdue for a break out
I better go
She blows my brains out
Silence is a scary sound

Funny feeling happened today, somewhere buried in the past
Didn't mean much
That much anyway
I know that love wont ever last

Well I'm just too excited
The end of this can't be sighted
She overdue for a break out
I better go
She blows my brains out
Silence is a scary sound

Funny feeling happened today, somewhere buried in the past
Didn't mean much
That much anyway
I know the love wont ever last

Funny feeling happened today, somewhere buried in the past
Didn't mean much




That much anyway
I know the love wont ever last

Overall Meaning

The song "Silence is a Scary Sound" by McFly is about the pain and confusion of a failed relationship. The lyrics reflect the singer's feelings of betrayal and loss as he struggles to come to terms with the end of his love affair. He looks up at the sky and asks why his partner left him, feeling hurt and angry about her decision. He fears that the silence that follows their breakup will be unbearable, the calm before a storm that will leave him shattered.


The singer is torn up inside and has a hole in his mind, suggesting that he is feeling lost and perhaps even depressed. He hopes that his former partner will suffer as much as he has, wishing her death through choking on lies. The repeated phrase "funny feeling happened today" implies that he is trying to bury his feelings deep and move on with his life, even though he knows that love will never last. The catchy melody and upbeat tempo of the song creates a striking contrast with the sad and bitter lyrics and shows how the singer is trying to put on a brave face even as he struggles with his emotions.
