No News Is Good News
Sylvia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night I turn to you
But you turn away
I know there's no good news
In what you might say

I couldn't stand to hear it
So let well enough be, oh
Your silence is golden
Especially to me

'Cause I know no news is good news
With each word you don't say
Silence is golden
At least for today

No news is good news
With each word you don't say
No news is good news
As long as you stay

Haven't heard a loving word
From you in a while
I don't see that look of love
That was once in your smile

I know you're unhappy
And you can't tell me why
But at least for the moment
You haven't told me goodbye
Don't say goodbye

'Cause I know, no news is good news
With each word you don't say
Silence is golden
At least for today

No news is good news
With each word you don't say




No news is good news
As long as you stay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sylvia's Song "No News Is Good News" is a song about a couple that is going through a difficult time, and there seems to be no good news in what the other person might say. The singer turns to her partner every night, but he turns away, refusing to communicate with her. She knows that her partner is unhappy, but she can't seem to get him to tell her what is going on with him. Nonetheless, she finds solace in the fact that his silence is golden at least for the moment.


The song's lyrics suggest that sometimes, no news is good news, and it is okay to let well enough be, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. The lyrics express that the singer values her partner's silence more than his hurtful words or even his lack of attention. She seems to believe that as long as he stays, she can still find joy in their relationship, even if there's no immediate resolution to their challenges.


Overall, the song's message is one of hopeful resignation. The singer is not giving up on her relationship, but rather, accepting that sometimes it's better to leave things unsaid. The use of the phrase "no news is good news" is a reminder that sometimes the absence of negativity is good enough.

Randy Sledge

we notice few stuff when Ryan was voicing out his concern.
She dun seems to be aware or listening, she was smiling from the start, could be texting (maybe to her ahem the CEO of a courier service for maybe another kind of "service")
Shifting focus away when the critics is on her.

Then when Ryan speaks again she using her phone again then when she focus back to the zoom, her tongue "mysteriously stick out for no reason" then she start smoking like she dun care judging her expression, we can hear some moaning or some yawning sound effects coming from her to literally try to interrupt Ryan's speaking.

To show respect or being a leader who lead to success only comes into the fundamental point, you listen and acknowledge the real issues from ur colleagues. Interrupting using this tactics seems to her everything is a joke to her, imagine how painful trying to explain to her and she pretending to be empress dowager impression.
Which is why many of her disgusting behaviour being leaked online again and again including the ones not supposingly to hear.
People who u love, people who u work with are ur mirror in ur life. When u mistreat them just get prepared to face the consequences. Just rmb not all will stay quiet abt it.
With all her rude behavior, she comes a long way to reflect this upon herself.

Her career is ruined even she still in NOC, the company will suffer even more.
even having hard time moving on to the future.

So whats the lesson we taught. Don't be an asshole. be positive and nice towards others so that the u get positive from people instead.

I absolutely despise her attitude. This will be her reason for her inevitable downfall. I don’t think any apology can justify these actions because no matter what, she is projecting herself in a childish light IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WHO TRUST HER AND LOOK UP TO HER, and it fucking disgusts me

As someone who used to have this attitude, I’ve learnt that it does nothing good. It’s just a way of telling and lying to yourself that “you’ve done nothing wrong”. ITS JUST DECEIVING YOURSELF. As a grown woman, she should really show more maturity in her actions, and maybe take accountability for them. Apologise if you didn’t mean it, and if you need mean it (which I’m pretty sure she did), then just be frank and say sorry instead of showing that you “DONT GIVE A FUCK”. Because at the end of the day, you are just LYING TO YOURSELF. Everyone sees through your façade and it’s going to do nothing for your already plummeting reputation.

old comment but ryan is the problem he liked the girls and sylvia got mad, ryan treated her like shit and cheated on her throughout the relationship

Admin Admin

She left her things behind to hoodwink him to contact her back. Ryan got cheated before marriage to be closer to her.

californiacating

@ericcvivae but cheating does affect anyone except for the people who are involved in the relationship. Having an affair does not affect your employee.

ericcvivae

@californiacatingyes it does because he did it with her bestfriends

Darkcastle

Men can take as many wife as he pleases

"Why leaving office at 7pm is a sign of laziness? ". That sentence is so true. Sadly alot of bad bosses think that we have no life, no family and just wake up everyday and work till we die.

Bsolutions

Don't work corporate jobs lor. Start own business or do freelance work

RDU23

Friggin stupid this one, normal desk job is either 8-5pm or 9-6pm, what they insinuating that anybody working at irregular shifts or with mandatory overtimes are not lazy? disgusting generalization

Ng Cody
