When Silence Has The Loudest Voice
SlowMotionNoise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This nightmare starts; I’ve lost control.
Crush my dreams. I will never know
What have I done? Ignore my love
Reject my good intentions

Crumbling down, I’ll fade away
Into this empty darkened place,
That was my heart. But now you’re gone
So I have planned to end it all

I used to be
Your lovesick Romeo
And now I see that
Silence has the loudest voice

Since I was young, I’ve wanted someone
Who would just understand me.
I thought it was you; I guess that
I was wrong

I cannot understand.
Why you’re not speaking to me
‘Cause I don’t care, but yet I want
To know when you are thinking of me

I used to be
Your lovesick Romeo
And now I see that
Silence has the loudest voice

I used to be
Your lovesick Romeo
And now I see that
Silence has the loudest voice

Maybe it’s true that
I cannot have you
When silence has
The loudest voice
I know that its over
But what have I done?
This is it;
It ends tonight!

I used to be
Your lovesick Romeo
And now I see that
Silence has the loudest voice

I used to be
Your lovesick Romeo




And now I see that
Silence has the loudest voice
