Lost In Silence
Poison the Well Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made my statement.
I won't go unnoticed.
Past this day.
My person ideals.
A building block for this world.
Never again.
As many sit by and watch.
Our world pass by.
I refuse to take my seat.
I refuse to die in silence. [Repeat: x2]
So many die in silence.
Their voices go unheard.
They sit unnoticed.
They stand alone. [Repeat: x3]
Their voices dictate.
The way your life is lived.
Too afraid to speak.
Too scared to oppose.
The fear inside you.
Breeds your silence.
So now you live.
The live of another.
The lyrics to Poison the Well's song Lost in Silence carry a strong message of personal empowerment and individualism. The opening lines assert the singer's desire to make a lasting impact that won't fade away unnoticed. They believe in their own personal ideals being a strong foundation for making an impact in the world, and vow never to remain silent again.
The song then progresses into a commentary on the many individuals who allow the world to "pass by" without ever making their voices heard. This silence enables a world in which people's lives are dictated by others' voices, causing fear and opposition to speaking up in the first place. The lyrics argue that this perpetuates a cycle of living the life of another and only perpetuating these harmful systems of power and oppression.
Overall, Lost in Silence is a call to action for individuals to break through their fear and speak up for what they believe in, refusing to remain silent in the face of oppression and societal injustice.

I've left my mark, I've made my statement.
I won't go unnoticed past this day.
My personal ideals a building block for this world.
Never again will I sit in silence.
As many sit by and watch our world pass by.
I refuse to take my seat, I refuse to die in silence.
So many die in silence, their voices go unheard.
They sit unnoticed, they stand alone.
Their voices dictate the way your life is lived.
Too afraid to speak, too scared to oppose
The fear inside you breeds your silence.
So now you live the life or another.
