Breaking The Silence Lyrics
i cant believe im the first one to talk about this song. this is such a great song, though im not a huge queensryche fan. anywho, i think its about a guy who lost his girlfriend or wife or whatever, and now hes suffering a lot, pretty simple song, but cool nontheless
"lost his girlfriend, or wife, or whatever"??? LOL, I'll say one thing, yes, you definitely are not a huge Ryche fan. This song can not be removed from the context of the whole album - which is about mind control, murder, and hope.
Uhm, yes it can, the song is simply about the main character's (Nikki) reaction to just finding Mary dead and he 'breaks the silence' of the night by screaming her name
This is one of the songs on Operation: Mindcrime that make me feel bad for Nikki. It shows how much he loved Mary. My second favorite song on the album (the Needle Lies is my favorite ;D) Empire1987 has it right.
Definitely his reaction to finding Mary dead, and I take this one as Nikki spending the day in catatonic silence, then completely snapping, wandering through the night screaming her name and probably babbling nonsense in between, his grief and the broken mind control combining to leave him broken and detached from reality for the night, unable to tell the difference between reality and things popping up in his head.
Damn that's a bunch of commas.
