The band consists of 3 guys: one on the piano, one on drums and one screaming.
A trio that cannot be pigeonholed. Three sitting musicians. A pianist whose notes flow like lifeblood. A drummer whose nerves strike the beat as if today was the last day to live. And a singer whose brain is sentenced to overflow without respite... Sometimes violent, sometimes soothing, always redeeming, never free. Three different pieces of the human being finding their souls and leaving all these modern sacrificed landscapes far behind. Bass and guitar are left aside to create a brand new musical horizon : an unhappy medium between Chopin, Nirvana, Danny Elfman and Envy, somewhere in Alaska.

ODE TO SILENCE
My Own Private Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all that, so...
The opening line of My Own Private Alaska's "Ode to Silence" conveys a sense of inexplicable complexity in finding the right words to express one's emotions. It encapsulates the struggle of many artists when it comes to translating feelings and thoughts into words. The natural flow of the song communicates a sense of reflective brooding, underscoring the importance of silence and introspection in processing harsh life experiences. The lyrics seem to evoke a sense of powerlessness, as if the singer is unable to find expression for their innermost thoughts and desires. The haunting melodies and impassioned vocals reinforce this sense of longing and the plea for the quiet solace of silence.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a more philosophical note, suggesting that silence is not an absence of sound but rather a medium that one must engage with actively. Through contemplative interiority, the singer seems to be seeking some transcendent knowledge or truth. The correspondence between the inscrutability of language and the infinite expanse of silence is a potent metaphor connecting the experience of inner consciousness with that of an expansive, limitless universe. Ultimately, "Ode to Silence" is a poetic invitation to embrace the power of introspection and self-reflection as a means of communicating with the ineffable.

I would never find words for you,
Expressing my love and admiration for you is challenging because no words seem sufficient.
For all that, so...
Despite the difficulty, I will still try to convey my feelings for you.
