Unspoken Words
Temperance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a silent demon whispering inside my mind
And I keep on wondering why I have to feel this bad
Good and evil forces battling inside my chest
And opposing thoughts are loudly breaking off my rest

I am imploding, my mind's corroding
This wall of silence is suddenly falling
The wind is blowing, the lightning is coming
I cannot refrain no more

Now take heed for me
You will realize this is
The calm before the storm
Of the feelings untold
Listen to me, in the end
And don't tell me I'm to blame
There's something you should know
Can you hear my unspoken words?

I don't know if what I'm going to say is right or wrong
I just cannot hush my mouth, I can't take no more
I'm sure I will feel much better when this silence breaks
I'll get rid of this heavy burden pushing on my neck

I am imploding, my mind's corroding
This wall of silence is suddenly falling




The wind is blowing, the lightning is coming
I'm losing my self-control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Temperance's song Unspoken Words explore the turmoil within the mind of the singer, as they battle against their inner demons that whisper negativity and hold them back. The first verse starts off by referring to the "silent demon" whispering inside their mind, which is causing them to feel "bad". The use of "good and evil forces battling inside my chest" symbolizes the ongoing struggle between positive and negative thoughts, which is causing them to lose their peace of mind.


As the singer starts to break out of the silence and speak up, the chorus comes in with the powerful line "Listen to me, in the end, and don't tell me I'm to blame, there's something you should know, can you hear my unspoken words?". This helps to communicate the message that no one should be blamed for the singer's thoughts, as they are struggling to express their emotions and thoughts. The third verse is further driven by the need to open up and relieve themselves from the heavy burden that's weighing them down.


In summary, the song's message is that it's important to speak up and express oneself rather than bottling up emotions until they explode. The use of metaphoric language, including the mention of demons and battling forces, emphasizes the intensity of these feelings, which can be relatable and cathartic.

@@XeoN-PL Ok then. Usually, people don't say they are atheists, agnostics, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, capitalists, socialists, communists, fascists etc in stating why they love any music, movie or painting.

I have no idea how that connect with personal preferences and/or tastes in the arts, especially music and movies, or sports.

Anyway, declaring oneself an atheist or believer is not going to raise one's IQ by 50, or raise one's income by USD 100 million per month. Or wins one any Olympic medal or Nobel prize.

Just stating one love a singer or band and why do connect one with other fans of the singer and band across borders, race, gender, class, belief/non-belief and political ideologies. You know this already.

A good weekend to you and yours. All the best.
