Quiet In My Town Lyrics

today i heard that someone left this earth
that someone disappeared left no mark here
today i heard that someone just got up and left himself
lying on the ground

today is
today is
today is quiet in my town
today is
today is
today is quiet in my town

today two boys disappeared without noise
and i wish that i was them flying somewhere overhead
and tonight in silence, two lovers hate and find
one is bored
one is angry
but neither one of them is right, oh

today is
today is
today is quiet in my town
today is
today is
today is quiet in my town

oh, somebody say something
somebody say something
somebody say something to me
Oh, someday say something
someday say something
someday say something cause i can't take this silence anymore
anymore

today is
today is
today is quiet in my town
today is
oh, today is
today is too quiet in my town

ooh

today i heard
the sound of birds
and i wish that i
was anywhere but here

it's too quiet, too quiet
it's too quiet, too quiet
it's too quiet
it's too quiet
it's just too quiet
oh, it's too quiet
it's too quiet
it's too quiet
it's too quiet
it's too quiet
it's too quiet
in this town,
in here, in here, in here
it's too quiet in my town
oh
i say it out

today is
today is
today is quiet in my town
today is
today is
today is too quiet in my town

today is
today is
today is quiet in my town

it's about that eerie stillness and quietness that you feel right after the death of a loved one or a tragedy in general. there's nothing to say; nothing matters the way it did before. no one knows what to say or do so you just don't do anything. there's nothing but quiet.

I don't think you could have done a more perfect job describing what this song means.:)

i think this song is about the violence and the pain that this person goes through in this town. I think that this person lives day after day living in a town that is dead and having to hear about people dying and the pain that people go through.

i totally agree with absolutebap. ive never thought of it in that way before but now just listening to it... its so repetitive in everything it keeps saying over and over. but its just like how your mind is so overwhelmed with this huge concept of someone not being alive anymore. and all you wanna do is just not think about it, but you really cant even think at all.

I first heard this song on one tree hill and that is probably the saddest scene ever on the show when this song was playing. It was the episode where it was Q's funeral and it was the end. The song is really powerful. I get emotional everytime I hear it. Especially the last 3 minutes of it!

My sister started using meth earlier this year. She was already on pills pretty bad, so she just kind of jumped right in and yeah, she's hooked. She isn't herself any more at all. She's blank, empty, dead. This song remind's me of her so much.

@gorgeousmidget I don't know if it matters to you or not, but I'm praying for your sister and your family. People struggle and make mistakes, but they are redeemable. they can change and grow and kick habits that held them for years. I hope that you know that others care and wish nothing but good things for you.

it kinda reminds me of the rapture with the line about people disappearing

@rojk never thought about that until you said it, but it fits.

This song is really nice, as for the rest of their songs. I couldn't agree more with absolutebap.

I don't know how many One Tree Hill'ers are here, but this song had me bawling when they played it. Such a beautiful song.
