Silent Voice
Shaman's Harvest Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you know you better run,
to the hills and the convents.
With hair raisin' goosebumps
you can feel the man comin.
Oh with the watchers and the scapegoats,
you were hidin' in the rain.
With a back cut and music,
you were bleedin' out your pain.

Oh where you think you're gonna run to when the man is you.

And hold me close, you'll never see
You're the only one who understands
the storm in me.
And I'll wait for you here,
with silent voice.
God only knows I never wanted you to make this choice.
Oh dai dai da, oh dai dai da, oh dai dai da.

Well you loathed down in the mire,
cuz you didn't wanna face it.
With a gunslinger's desire,
you'd rather burn out than save it.

Oh with the watchers and the scapegoats,
you were hidin' in the rain.
With a back cut and the music,
you were screaming out your pain.
Oh where you think you're gonna run to when the man is you.

And hold me close, you'll never see
You're the only one who understands
the storm in me.
And I'll wait for you here,
with silent voice.
God only knows I never wanted you to make this choice.

Oh dai dai da, oh dai dai da, oh dai dai da
Oh dai dai da, oh dai dai da, oh dai dai da.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shaman's Harvest's "Silent Voice" speak of running away from oneself and hiding behind distractions, but eventually facing the reality that the only person one can run away from is oneself. The "man" alluded to may represent the inner demons that one tries to escape from, and the "watchers and scapegoats" symbolize the people who judge and criticize. However, despite the pain and difficulty of facing these challenges, the singer has found solace in the understanding of another person, whom they ask to hold them close, reassuring them that they are not alone.

The song also speaks of the power of music to help cope with pain, with the line "with a back cut and the music, you were screaming out your pain." This can be interpreted as using music as a form of self-expression to deal with difficult emotions. The idea of a "silent voice" represents a feeling of being unheard or misunderstood by the world, but finding comfort and understanding in someone else's companionship.
