Unspoken
Promethee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speak up, speak up oh weary one
They've weighted you down for far too long
That you can't see the light
But i can see you

Six feet under the ground
I'll still hear them screaming my name
Writing my wrongs to make sure

The righteous man has bathed
Himself in soiled water
The wolrd he know, well it is no longer

I can feel the mountains
Move and the ocean slpit in half

Like the serpent you bite your own tail
You've run out of places to hide
Run out of people to feed on

Bound by standards, bound by living your life
Losing control, out of all of us
How can you sleep at night?

Unspoken, bearer of lies
Unspoken i know who you are

I see you lying through your teeth





The darkness in my head is now in front of me
And now is part of my own reality

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Unspoken" by Promethee depicts a message of breaking free from oppression, addressing the weary and burdened, and those who bear the guilt of lying and deceit. The opening lines "Speak up, speak up oh weary one, they've weighted you down for far too long, that you can't see the light" speak to the burden of oppression and how it blinds people from seeing the light, asking them to speak up and break free from their chains. In contrast, the next stanza of "Six feet under the ground, I'll still hear them screaming my name" portrays the pain caused to those who have already been broken, with their voices ringing in the ears of the singer.


Furthermore, the lyrics allude to the concept of facing the consequences of one's actions by stating "Writing my wrongs to make sure, the righteous man has bathed himself in soiled water." It highlights how the righteousness of one person can be tarnished if they have dealings with someone who has lied or deceived them. The chorus "Unspoken, bearer of lies, Unspoken I know who you are, I see you lying through your teeth," emphasizes how the guilt of dishonesty eats away at the person, no matter how much they try to hide it.


The closing line "The darkness in my head is now in front of me, and now is part of my own reality" suggests that the singer has faced their demons and has come out stronger, with their struggles having become an inherent part of their reality. The song is an inspiration to all those who have lost hope and feel trapped by their oppressors, giving them the courage to speak up and stand up for themselves.
