| Audiovent – Underwater Silence Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I feel the song could be about depression. The singer is singing to someone who's depressed or perhaps in a rut that they can't look beyond or refuse to escape. In the first stanza it seems the person being sung to has distanced themselves or perhaps just closed themselves off (here in your coma, here in your sleep) and thus is unable to realize that the people who care are reaching out (you cannot hear me, although I scream). I think the chorus is the point where the singer asks questions, states what he sees; "You dream under lonely eyelids, Find what your looking for? You sleep in underwater silence (Alone)" So I think the singer is basically asking, "You've distanced yourself, did you find what you're looking for or are you still lost?" I'm not sure whether the addition of "Alone" at the end of the first chorus is the reply of the lonely person, or just an observation by the singer about the 'singee'. The second stanza illustrates best how alone the person being sung to is (herein you're empty/there's no breeze), how trapped they feel (claustrophobic in your skin), and how they probably feel unable to respond to others' reaching out to them (refuse reflections). Although, as that last line is followed by "when they're from me" I wonder if perhaps the person being sung to is just distancing themselves from this person singing, maybe the singer knows it hence that last line, "so in my eyes they will end". While the depressed person is the one whose state is described by the title I think the person singing is affected too, while at times this song sounds to be his last effort to reach the person he's singing to he's giving it his all, begging them to 'hold on' and remember that he is there to help, 'keep me alive in you'. The two things I thought this song might be about, for all the (mundanely detailed) reasons above is either depression, or a bad breakup. The great thing about this song is the versatility of it's lyrics to represent certain situations (good songs should have that right?). All those comments made previously were pretty good and it was interesting to read the various ideas the song inspired about it's meaning. Glad to see Underwater Silence was appreciated by others, it's most certainly a great one. |

I agree with Runix. At some moments in the song it seems too that the object of his affection only uses him and he knows it: "So your life rolls along, for me it stands still. Say we're just friends, oh, but I never will..." I like the line "when two people love without any sound". Curiously descriptive. In my mind at least. And you're welcome Runix :) |

Could be a personal anthem for many people. On some of my more somber days it's mine. In any case, whoever wrote this song (what's that? Avril Lavigne was one you say? O.o) did wonderfully. It's a song that speaks to most of us (if not all). I agree with Saddest_Girl_Story, I like that the lyrics are heartfelt. There are times in a persons life when they feel trapped whether it's by their emotions and their inability to fully express them, the boundaries of their town or the expectations of others, just to mention a few. This song, to me at least, is more of a statement. Because the narrator is saying they'll break away, they're not asking for permission, they're taking charge without trampling over others to do it. "I won't forget all the ones I love" and "Though it's not easy to say goodbye" It's sincere without being cliched and Kelly Clarkson really does it justice. |

To me this song seems to be a lament about a person who only sees your failures rather than your accomplishments. "To you, I'm all I've left undone I'm all I haven't won" Even then the singer seems to rely on the person to a certain extent despite how frustrated they make him. "You can make me scream internally You can make me breathe eternally" About sums of all I can think of to say for now. |
