Lost In Silence Lyrics

I've left my mark
I've made my statement
I won`t go unnoticed
Past this day
My personal ideals
A building block for this world
Never again
Will I sit in silence
As many sit by and watch
Our world pass by
I refuse to take my seat
I refuse to die in silence
So many die in silence
Their voices go unheard
They sit unnoticed
They stand alone
Their voices dictate
The way your life is lived
Too afraid too speak
Too scared to oppose
The fear inside you
Breeds your silence
So now you live
The life of another

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think this song is about telling someone how you fell about them. (love them)... that if it isnt done.. then you died in silence,, and you let ther actions control you.. you do what they do hopeing they notice.. and hopeing they will say to you what you want to say to them

After walking to school, listening to this song several times, I came to the conclusion that this song was about standing up, and speak out for what you believe in or telling a person or persons (undisclosed) how you feel.

I relate to this song. I just kind of stand behind the lines and look out at the world, not contibuting what i need to. It's about being alone and realising that you need to speak your mind and not just sit back. You need to improve the world, get out there and do something instead of wasting your life.

i think its pretty obvious that song is condeming people who just sit back behind the lines. but the person in the song is going to stand up. zaogod is on to something with the relationship thing but i think its about completmenting, or telling someone how you feel not just sitting back and not doing anything about it.
