10. Silence stopped being an idea in the minds of Diego Astrada and Gabriel Olivares towards the end of 2004. In the first months of 2005 Guido Bisocoli on Drums, Fernando Larriestra on Bass, Hernán De Angelis on keyboards and Raúl Mendoza on vocals became members of the band as the definitive lineup. In June the same year the band gave their first show, beginning this way a series of shows, which would not stop until the recording of their first independent production, "Silence", during September and October. Once concluded, the group devoted the rest of 2005 to its distribution and live presentation. In 2007, Silence recorded "The Growling Flames", pre-production work of what would be their first long-play.In 2008 the band suffered line-up changes that would end with today definitive line-up. During 2009, Silence participates on Morbid Angel's show on Argentina in the South American Tour 2009, having the honor to performe just before the Florida Quartet. The band is nowadays producing new material for their upcoming album. Silence was born from the increasing need of it creators to explore new musical paths. Thus, defining their style becomes difficult, since on the one hand, the influences of every member are many and different, and on the other, the project is characterized by not imposing any type of limits to each member..s creative trends. Nevertheless, everything seems to turn around a concept: extreme music, understanding this as a constant trend for penetrating into the limits of the predictable.

Silence Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I forgot the lines
and for a moment there
I stood paralyzed
I realized
it was time to improvise
I started to fake
no-one could tell
The audience was pleased

I was as well

People believe
what they want to

After the play
A girl came up to me
and gave me
that certain look
She was an open book
An easy prey to hook
I started to act
once again
Who I am not
is who I am

But then, one night
I realized all this roles
Strange and picturesque
can't provide
a face beneath the mask

But then, one night

Overall Meaning

I realized all this roles
Strange and picturesque
can't provide
a face beneath the mask

These lyrics from the song The Player by Silence is about a person who forgets the lines during a play, but instead of panicking, they start to improvise and make up their own lines. This leads to the audience being pleased, and the singer feels happy with their performance. The song goes on to talk about how people believe what they want to, and the musician takes advantage of this by playing a role and acting like someone they're not. They meet a girl who is easy to hook because she's an open book, and they start acting once again.

The song ends with the singer realizing that all the roles they're playing are strange and imaginative, but they can't provide a real face beneath the mask. This could suggest that the singer is tired of pretending to be someone they're not, and they feel like they need to find their true selves.

Line by Line Meaning

I forgot the lines
I couldn't remember what I was supposed to say in the play

and for a moment there
for a brief amount of time

I stood paralyzed
I couldn't move because I didn't know what to do

I realized
I came to understand

it was time to improvise
I needed to make something up on the spot to continue the play

I started to fake
I pretended to know what I was doing

no-one could tell
nobody realized I was making things up

The audience was pleased
the people watching the play were happy with my performance

I was as well
I was also happy with how things turned out

People believe
individuals accept as true

what they want to
what they prefer to believe or what is convenient for them
