Despite this chaos the music somehow makes sense as Silent Screams have had a busy last 2 years. Recording with Matt Hyde (Slayer, As I lay dying, Gallows, Slipknot, Trivium) for their current EP, relentlessly touring the UK and Europe all off their own back with no label.
Sharing the stage with such bands as: Bring me the Horizon, Emmure, Johnny Truant, For the Fallen Dreams, Your Demise, The Red Shore, Trigger the Bloodshed and many many more!
After Signing to Ghost Music, they released their first full length album 'When It Rains' midway through 2011.
In September of 2012 it was announced James Ryan was to step down from his position as lead vocalist. The band announced new vocalist Joel Heywood not long after his departure.
They have since released a new single with the current line up.
With a growing fan base, they're going all the way...
Mirrors
Silent Screams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your trapped in a cell called misery...
I won't live like this
Stay true to yourself
I wont live like this...
Be all you can be it means nothing to me,
I try to be the best that I can be...
They can be forgotten
This war in your heart is not hopeless
When your heart beats let your true self form,
Are you hopeless? Has weakness consumed you?
Let yourself go, Don't ever look back,
Does it scare you? The idea of freedom?
Just bury hope
The lyrics in Silent Screams' song "Mirrors" depict a sense of feeling trapped and hopeless in one's own life. The opening lines, "This town holds the souls of the broken, Your trapped in a cell called misery..." paint the picture of a person who feels confined and weighed down by their surroundings and circumstances. However, the chorus offers a glimpse of hope as the singer declares, "I won't live like this, Stay true to yourself, I won't live like this..." This indicates a willingness to take control and make positive changes in their life.
The next verse speaks to the idea of living up to expectations and the pressure to be the best, but also offers a reminder that memories can be forgotten and that there is hope amidst the internal battle going on. "This war in your heart is not hopeless" shows that despite the struggles, one can still find a way to overcome and move forward. The final lines of the song, "Just bury hope" offer a stark contrast to the rest of the lyrics and leave the listener with a sense of wondering whether the message is one of hope or despair.
Overall, "Mirrors" is a poignant reflection on the human experience of feeling confined and oppressed by one's own internal struggles and external circumstances. It acknowledges the difficulty of breaking free from these limitations but also offers a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
