Speechless
Naomi Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Written in stone, every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place, better seen and not heard
Well, now that story is ending

'Cause I, I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echoes saying

I won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless




All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
I am facing a powerful force that aims to defeat me


A tide that is taking me under
I am being overwhelmed by this force, which feels like drowning in water


Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
I am struggling to find my voice in this situation, and feel like I am sinking in quicksand


My voice drowned out in the thunder
The noise of the force is so loud that my voice cannot be heard


But I won't cry
I will not break down emotionally


And I won't start to crumble
I will not let this force wear me down


Whenever they try
Whenever someone attempts to defeat me


To shut me or cut me down
To silence me or take away my power


I won't be silenced
I refuse to be silenced; my voice will be heard


You can't keep me quiet
No one can silence me; I will not be quieted


Won't tremble when you try it
I will not be afraid, even if someone tries to intimidate me


All I know is I won't go speechless
I refuse to be silenced; I will not be rendered speechless


'Cause I'll breathe
I will keep breathing, even if someone tries to suffocate me and take away my air


When they try to suffocate me
When someone tries to stifle me and prevent me from expressing myself


Don't you underestimate me
Do not make the mistake of thinking I am weak or powerless


Written in stone, every rule, every word
The rules and expectations I am facing are rigid and unchanging, giving me little room to maneuver


Centuries old and unbending
These rules have been in place for centuries and are not open to modification or negotiation


Stay in your place, better seen and not heard
I am being told to keep silent and not speak up, keeping to my assigned role

That way of thinking is coming to an end; I refuse to stay silenced


Let the storm in
I am willing to face the difficulties and challenges ahead, letting them come at me full force


I cannot be broken
I will not be defeated or broken by these challenges; I am strong enough to withstand them


No, I won't live unspoken
I will not live the rest of my life afraid to speak up, and being silenced by others


Try to lock me in this cage
Someone is trying to limit my abilities and control me


I won't just lay me down and die
I will not give up without a fight, no matter what happens


I will take these broken wings
I am willing to accept my flaws and imperfections


And watch me burn across the sky
I am going to rise above these challenges and shine, despite everything holding me back


Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
Someone is trying to make me afraid or intimidated, but it will not work


All I know is I won't go speechless
I will not be silenced; my voice will be heard

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

[Chorus]
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

[Verse 2]
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
"Stay in your place"
"Better seen and not heard"
But now that story is ending

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down

[Chorus]
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

[Bridge]
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echo saying:

[Chorus]
I won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
[Outro]
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
