The Silence
PAZ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gold necklace with a light baton
Blood red paint on her fingernails
But her fingers trail when the lights come on
Pink champagne that she adores
Lipstick stain by Michael Kors
Wrists decked out in the neon bands
Nicotine and alcohol
THC and Adderall
On a pill that her best friend gave
Don't know what it is but anyway
Empty heart but her cup stays full
Drink until she's comfortable
Can't feel nothin, one more shot
But if feels so good when the music drops
Flashing lights, let me in
Hands go up when the record spins
Rush of life, MDM--
Turn it up and spin it back again
Crush of bodies all around
Once was lost but now I'm found
Shot off in space, to a distant place
And all a sudden everything ain't so loud...
And I believe
Life is a dream that reality breathes
And I believe
The Silence, The Silence watches over me
And I believe
Life is a dream that reality breathes
And I believe
The Silence, The Silence watches over me
It watches over me
It watches over me, it watches over me, it watches over me
It watches over me, it watches over me, I believe in The Silence
The Silence, washes over me
Cigarette from a Gucci clutch
Eyes go red when she lights it up
Only smokes when she gets fucked up
But yolo so it don't matter much
Where's my jacket where's my friends
Where's my lighter, phone is dead
Can't find shit yo who's that-- wait wait
The DJ's playin my song again
Synthesizers, disco balls
Crystal Geyser mixed with mol
Life is hard but it ain't so rough
When you're doin bumps in a bathroom stall
No one knows what you feel inside
No one knows if its real or lies
All she knows when the beat comes back
That its everything she ever had to realize (lies, lies)
And I believe
Life is a dream that reality breathes
And I believe
The Silence, The Silence watches over me
And I believe
Life is a dream that reality breathes
And I believe
The Silence, The Silence watches over me
The song "The Silence" by PAZ is a reflection on the nightlife and the lengths people go to escape their realities. The opening lines paint a picture of a woman in a black dress with high heels, a gold necklace, and blood red paint on her fingernails. She is accompanied by a pink champagne and a lipstick stain from Michael Kors, and her wrists are decked out in neon bands. The lyrics also mention nicotine, alcohol, THC, Adderall, and an unknown pill given by a friend.
The woman in the song is seeking escape from her empty heart by drinking until she is comfortable. She wants to feel something and continues to drink one more shot. The music is her solace as she feels lost in the crowd. The flashing lights, the rush of life, and the intensity of the music are her momentary escape. However, the silence watches over her, and she believes that it's what really keeps her safe.
The lyrics describe the surreal nature of the nightlife and the brief euphoria it provides. The Silence is a metaphor for the emptiness and loneliness that accompanies the escape from reality. This song is a reminder that, even in euphoria, one must not forget about the darkness that it accompanies.

Cold black dress with the high heels on
She's dressed up in a dark dress and heels
Gold necklace with a light baton
She's wearing a gold necklace with a charm on it
Blood red paint on her fingernails
She's wearing red nail polish
But her fingers trail when the lights come on
She's nervous and fidgety when in public
Pink champagne that she adores
She likes drinking pink champagne
Lipstick stain by Michael Kors
Her lipstick is smudged
Wrists decked out in the neon bands
She's wearing neon bracelets
And a pink handstamp from the night before
She's still wearing a stamp from the previous night's event
Nicotine and alcohol
She's smoking and drinking
THC and Adderall
She's using drugs
On a pill that her best friend gave
She's popping pills given by her friend
Don't know what it is but anyway
She doesn't know what the pill is but takes it anyway
Empty heart but her cup stays full
She's drinking to fill the void in her heart
Drink until she's comfortable
She'll continue drinking until she's at ease
Can't feel nothin, one more shot
She's numbed out but wants to drink more
But if feels so good when the music drops
She enjoys the euphoria she feels when the music drops
Flashing lights, let me in
She's drawn to the club's bright lights
Hands go up when the record spins
People are dancing and raising their hands to the music
Rush of life, MDM--
She's experiencing a rush of life while on the drug MDM
Turn it up and spin it back again
She enjoys the music and wants it played again
Crush of bodies all around
There's a crowd of people around her
Once was lost but now I'm found
She feels like she's found herself
Shot off in space, to a distant place
She feels like she's in a different world
And all a sudden everything ain't so loud...
Her surroundings seem quieter now
And I believe
She has a strong conviction
Life is a dream that reality breathes
Life can feel unreal at times
The Silence, The Silence watches over me
She feels comforted by silence
Cigarette from a Gucci clutch
She's smoking a cigarette from a Gucci purse
Eyes go red when she lights it up
She's sensitive to cigarette smoke
Only smokes when she gets fucked up
She only smokes when she's under the influence
But yolo so it don't matter much
She doesn't care much since you only live once
Where's my jacket where's my friends
She's looking for her jacket and friends
Where's my lighter, phone is dead
She's misplaced her lighter and her phone is dead
Can't find shit yo who's that-- wait wait
She's having trouble figuring out who people are
The DJ's playin my song again
She likes the song the DJ is playing
Synthesizers, disco balls
There are synthesizers and disco balls in the club
Crystal Geyser mixed with mol
She's drinking Crystal Geyser mixed with something
Life is hard but it ain't so rough
Life may be tough but it's bearable
When you're doin bumps in a bathroom stall
She's doing drugs in a bathroom stall
No one knows what you feel inside
No one knows how she feels internally
No one knows if its real or lies
No one knows if her feeling are genuine or not
All she knows when the beat comes back
The music makes her feel alive
That its everything she ever had to realize (lies, lies)
Her realizations may not be true
