The name Silence Equals Death can be attributed to many causes. Our interpretation is similar to, if not exactly like the majority of them. As humans one of the most powerful things we can use is our voice. Uniting our voices to rally against an injustice can often be one of our most powerful weapons. Oppressors control media to spread propaganda and often make it a point to keep the masses uneducated and uninformed in order to maintain control. We feel every human voice should be heard, every opinion counts and injustice should be brought to light. A voice should only be silent upon breathing it's last breath.

Silence Equals Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drowning in my rage
Underneath the surface I keep pushing harder
Suffocation of my enemy
You look to strip my pride, erase me where I stand
I will never surrender, I will never give in
And still you try to break me, You try to break me down
Standing on the outside, unacceptance is the plan
To keep me silent, but now it's revenge
Reigning down in your face mother fucker
Start thinking of the times that you've crossed my path
My hopes, My Dreams, My hate keeps rising
For a chance that I feel I might
Break Me down, you wanna watch me fail
Break me down, but I'm still standing here
I don't need you to fuel my fight
I'll bleed perseverance until the day I die
I will never Surrender

I'll bleed perseverance until the day I die
I will demonstrate unwavering determination until my last breath
I will never Surrender
I will never give up
