Whisper
Unsilent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm shouting aloud
But my shout is just a fucking whisper

Whisper from your mouth instead of a shout
Indifference - nothing to say whatever you see
Reality - keep silent though you know it all
Fear makes you accept your weakness
You're closing your eyes
Turning your back




Closing your ears
Ignoring their screams
