The Silence
Trinacria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The watcher out of place
Or am I
Who is the enemy
Silence or flight
Shroud-red smoke
Masks are falling
Hinting at the truth I know now
Penetrate the walls
Running alongside
Interlocking hands
Now she is smiling
Letting the secret out
This was not the way
To freedom
The lyrics of Trinacria's song "The Silence" seem to be about someone who is being unfairly targeted and persecuted, perhaps for being different or not fitting in with society's expectations. They feel like a watcher who is out of place, and it's unclear who their enemy really is – is it the silence itself, or the urge to flee from it? Amidst all the confusion, there are hints of truth and an urgent need to escape.
The imagery in the lyrics is quite striking – "shroud-red smoke" and "masks falling" suggest a sense of danger or mystery, while "interlocking hands" and "now she is smiling" imply moments of connection and hope. However, the line "this was not the way to freedom" casts doubt on whether this journey will ultimately lead to the singer's desired outcome.
The overall feeling that these lyrics convey is one of unease and uncertainty, but with glimpses of beauty and human connection along the way. It's up to the listener to decide what the silence represents and where exactly the singer is trying to escape to.
