Scream
Silence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Scream, Greeneyes, scream
Your smile lost love
became a grin
Your eyes
Once pure sin
Adorable, godlike, mean
have now
turned from green
to something I've never seen
A blue black within
A nightmare
instead of a dream

Is it them?
Or is it me?
Is it what has been
or what will be?
There are ways
to stop your misery
The question is -
do you agree?
Just keep
ignoring unsuccessfully
the so-called "parental advisory"
Just keep living secretly




and Greeneyes...

Overall Meaning

These lyrics by Silence in the song Scream are addressed to someone called Greeneyes. The song revolves around the change that has taken place in Greeneyes. The artist seems to be pointing out the fact that Greeneyes has lost their smile and love has turned into a grin. The pure sin that was once evident in Greeneyes' eyes has vanished. The artist used the words adorable, godlike, and mean to describe them, but now, Greeneyes has turned into something that the artist has never seen before. The color green in Greeneyes has faded away and has been replaced by a blue-black color that represents a nightmare instead of a dream.


As the song progresses, the artist begins to question whether the change in Greeneyes is caused by external factors or internal ones, by what was or what will be. The artist suggests a potential solution to Greeneyes' misery, but it's not clear if Greeneyes would agree with the proposal. The solution involves ignoring the parental advisory and living life secretly, to finally understand why things have taken a turn for the worse.

Lyrics

I'm caught up in your expectations
You're trying to make me live your dream
But I'm causing you so much frustration
And you only want the best for me
You wanted me to show more interest
To always keep a big bright smile
Be that pinky little perfect princess
But I'm not that type of child
And this storm is rising inside of me
Don't you feel that our whole worlds collide?
It's getting harder to breathe
It hurts deep inside
Just let me be
Who I am
It's what you really need to understand
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
And it's torturing me
But I can't break free
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
The silent scream
Tell me why you're putting pressure on me
And everyday you 'cause me harm
That's the reason why I feel so lonely
Even though you hold me in your arms
Wanna put me in a box of glitter
But I'm just trying to get right out
And now you're feeling so so bitter
Because I've let you down
And this storm is rising inside of me
Don't you feel that our whole worlds collide?
It's getting harder to breathe
It hurts deep inside
Just let me be
Who I am
It's what you really need to understand
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
And it's torturing me
But I can't break free
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
The silent scream
Can't you see how I cry for help
'Cause you should love me just for being myself
I'll drown in an ocean
Of pain and emotion
If you don't save me right away
Just let me be
Who I am
It's what you really need to understand
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
And it's torturing me
But I can't break free
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
The silent scream
My silent scream

If you wonder why some comments are missing: I delete comments where the thread goes out of hand and people start to attack each other on many different levels. Here's not the place to mass-attack some people- no matter how stupid you think they are. I will also delete slurs- especially the homophobic or racial ones. If you can't keep up basic manners don't complain when your comment is gone.
Considering the topic of the song it's amazing how many people literally attack each other for no reason. You'd think there was a common sense of "let's stick together", so please try to be a bit more considerate.
