Silence Lyrics
I want you to know the thoughts
My mind contains
I want you to feel the rage
Pulse through my veins
I want you to see the anger
In my eyes
I want you to feel fear
For your own life
I want to see the tears
Fill up your eyes
I want to see you beg
And apologize (bob jumping Johnny!)
I want to walk behind you
Without a sound (johnny sneaking up behind Bob!)
I want to burn your body
To the ground
Don't let my silence
Bother you
I'm only seething
Don't misconstrue
Silence as safety
As security
There's an explosion
Inside of me
I want you to know the depths
Of my disgust
I want you to learn
The emptiness of trust
I want you to rue the day
That you were born
I want you to feel the fury
Of my storm
I want my silence to keep
You up at night
I want you to know the hatred
You incite
I want you to sit and listen
To me scathe
I want to dance upon your
Sorry grave
Don't let my silence
Bother you
I'm only seething
Don't misconstrue
Silence as safety
As security
There's an explosion
Inside of me
My mind contains
I want you to feel the rage
Pulse through my veins
I want you to see the anger
In my eyes
I want you to feel fear
For your own life
Fill up your eyes
I want to see you beg
And apologize (bob jumping Johnny!)
I want to walk behind you
Without a sound (johnny sneaking up behind Bob!)
I want to burn your body
To the ground
Bother you
I'm only seething
Don't misconstrue
Silence as safety
As security
There's an explosion
Inside of me
Of my disgust
I want you to learn
The emptiness of trust
I want you to rue the day
That you were born
I want you to feel the fury
Of my storm
You up at night
I want you to know the hatred
You incite
I want you to sit and listen
To me scathe
I want to dance upon your
Sorry grave
Bother you
I'm only seething
Don't misconstrue
Silence as safety
As security
There's an explosion
Inside of me

since no one here has a meaning i will share mine (im a bit ass at theorizing):
this song could mean revenge, wrath. (perhaps a form of some disorder, too.)
Revenge/Wrath: "I want to see the tears Fill up your eyes I want to see you beg And apologize I want to walk behind you Without a sound I want to burn your body To the ground"
Tom has been through something with this person. He wants that person to feel how he felt during those times.
Wrath: "I want my silence to keep You up at night I want you to know the hatred You incite I want you to sit and listen To me scathe I want to dance upon your Sorry grave"
Somewhat ditto as the previous lyric, but instead of wanting this someone to feel how Tom felt, he wants this someone to suffer in silence.
Mystery disorder/Intrusive Thoughts: "Don't let my silence Bother you I'm only seething Don't misconstrue Silence as safety As security There's an explosion Inside of me"
Perhaps Tom doesn't actually feel the words he has said. Maybe these words are Tom's intrusive, unwanted thoughts about that person.
I may have gotten some things wrong, if so, please correct me
this song is so evily composed
one of my absolute favourite A23 songs and one that, whenever I listen to it, makes me wonder why they didn't use it in The Ring.
I've been able to relate to this before, I thought about sending the lyrics to an exboyfriend, too.
Heh, I just stumbled across this song, and I really wanna send it to an ex-girlfriend. XD
