The Song Remains Un-Named
Silent Civilian (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your threat to deconstruct my will cannot sustain
Unwritten laws of dignity ensure my fight
Think twice before you engage me, I will not hide
Can't stop my will
This violence resonates inside of me
I can't sedate all this rage, my thoughts obscene
The bitter end
The burning price
If this goes down, then I will take your life tonight
The web you've spun
The seeds you've sewn
My knife against yourskin is all I've ever known
Your preaching words of unreason will go unheard
Like spitting swords of confussion planly absurd
Reacting based on who you are, I show my teeth
You've set the standard for new scars my enemy
Rage, rage, rage, now
Can't stop my will
The lyrics to Silent Civilian's song The Song Remains Un-Named depict a sense of pent-up anger and aggression that cannot be easily contained. The singer of the song clearly has a violent past, as referenced by the line "I have the blood of men who've killed, inside my veins," which implies a familial or cultural legacy of violence. However, the singer refuses to be dominated by external forces, as evidenced by the line "Your threat to deconstruct my will cannot sustain." Instead, the singer is guided by internal principles of "dignity" and "fight," which give them the strength to resist their opponent.
At the same time, there is a sense of deep frustration in the lyrics, as the singer struggles to control their "rage" and "thoughts obscene." Even as they assert their will, they acknowledge the destructiveness of their own impulses. The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that violence is ultimately a self-destructive act, as the singer promises to "take your life tonight" at the "bitter end" of a conflict that will exact a "burning price."
Overall, The Song Remains Un-Named is a deeply personal and visceral depiction of the struggle to maintain control in the face of external threats and internal turmoil.
