The beginning
Silent Force Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1:
Is this the beginning or the end?
Will we remain or will we transcend?
Shadows dancing on the wall
Voices whispering, they call
The first verse of "The Beginning" by Silent Force is filled with uncertainty about what is to come, and whether it is a beginning or an end. It suggests that there may be a continuation beyond the present moment, a transcendence. The image of shadows dancing on the wall and voices whispering creates a haunting atmosphere and an uncertainty about what may be beyond.
Chorus:
Welcome to the beginning
No more lies to be told
Welcome to the beginning
No more secrets to hold
The chorus of the song appears to be a welcoming message to the unknown. It suggests that the singer has left behind a time filled with deceit and secrecy, and is now entering a new phase where there is a sense of openness and transparency.
Verse 2:
Looking for the truth in every lie
Asking questions, never satisfied
Broken dreams, shattered hopes
Chasing ghosts with our ropes
The second verse continues the themes of uncertainty and searching for truth. It suggests that the singer is always questioning and seeking answers, never satisfied with surface appearances. The lines "broken dreams, shattered hopes / chasing ghosts with our ropes" evoke a sense of desperation in their imagery, as if the singer is struggling to find meaning and direction.
Line by Line Meaning
We're standing in the shadows
We are currently in a place of obscurity or unimportance
Afraid to step into the light
We are hesitant to step forward and reveal ourselves
Our voices are unspoken
Our thoughts and opinions are kept to ourselves
As we watch the world go by
We observe the happenings of the world passively
The time has come for us to rise
The moment has arrived for us to take action and make our presence known
To speak our truth and take the prize
To express our beliefs and claim what we desire
We are the ones we've been waiting for
We are the solution to the problems we face
The beginning of a brand new world
This is the start of a fresh era with endless possibilities
With power that comes from within
We possess innate strength that drives us forward
Unleashing the fire from within
We are releasing the passion and determination within us
We will stand and fight, we will never give in
We will persistently resist adversity and never surrender
The beginning of a brand new world
This is the start of a fresh era with endless possibilities
