Silence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't believe in love
I can not face the flood
I don't believe in love
diseases in the mud
I don't believe in love
vultures drawn by blood
I am much too frail for this
I can't defy the storm
in your kiss

I won't go down again
I won't go down this road again
I won't go up in flames
I won't go down the drain
of love
again

I don't believe in love
I can not fight the drought
I don't believe in love
the wasteland in my mouth
I don't believe in love
the ever-burning doubt
I am much too frail for this
I can't defy the heat
of your kiss

Desert and rain
Fire and ice
Can you afford




to pay the price
of love?

The chorus repeats the message that Silence is unwilling to subject themselves to the pain of love again. They won't be consumed by flames or go down the drain of love. The final lines of the song ask the listener to consider whether love is worth the price of desert and rain or fire and ice, suggesting that the answer may not be clear-cut.
