Color of Silence
Suburban Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
is slowly fading away
like the very last wave
before the ocean is tame
Scream will never end inside my head
the color of silence is turning red
says I am losing control
it's growing unbearable
a pandemonium
The Color of Silence by Suburban Tribe is a hauntingly beautiful song that speaks about the aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The opening lines "the echo of your voice is slowly fading away, like the very last wave before the ocean is tame" suggests that the memory of the person is slowly disappearing, despite their voice still being present in the singer's mind. The use of imagery such as waves and the ocean creates a picture of the raw emotion of heartbreak transitioning to a calmer state.
The lines “The scream will never end inside my head, the color of silence is turning red” are particularly powerful. It speaks about the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind, where the memory of the person is a constant reminder of the pain they've caused. The silence, which is supposed to be peaceful and calming, is in fact an agony that is slowly eating away at the singer. The use of the color red is symbolic of the anger and pain that the singer is feeling.
In the later part of the song, the silent voice in the singer's ear tells them that they're losing control and that the pain is becoming unbearable. The word "pandemonium" suggests chaos and disorder, further emphasizing the singer's internal turmoil. Overall, this song portrays the raw and painful emotions that come after a heart-wrenching breakup.
Line by Line Meaning
The echo of your voice
The sound of your voice is fading away gradually
is slowly fading away
It's happening slowly and steadily
like the very last wave
Just like the final ripple caused by the wind in water
before the ocean is tame
Before the sea becomes calm and quiet
Scream will never end inside my head
The shout or cry inside my head is never going to stop
the color of silence is turning red
The absence of sound is turning into anger and frustration
The silent voice in my ear
The inner voice in my head that's not audible to others
says I am losing control
Tells me that I am losing my ability to manage or regulate my thoughts and actions
it's growing unbearable
The situation is becoming intolerable
a pandemonium
A state of chaos and disorder
