Silence (Delirium cover) Lyrics

Lyric discussion by charlietrout 

Cover art for Silence (Delirium cover) lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

Silence is a compelling and intoxicating entity of human nature. to leave something unsaid is an unparalleled exercise of power or leverage against someone. to lust to end this silence; to search for the truth per say, is a consuming act that is pursued passionately, feverishly, and with rage. To "wonder" about heaven, is to search for silence. The lyrics to this song acknowledge the seduction of silence, but shows a person attempting to liberate themselves from the burdens of this pursuit. "in this silence i believe--i am free." it is not necessarily silence she is referring to, it can be a passionate longing for anything, love, addiction, or life in general maybe. but the meaning of this song is to free yourself from this natural desire, to liberate yourself from the burdens of a hopeless and endless pursuit

@charlietrout Your words grabbed me. I’ve never replied on anything but I’m this hour, this moment, I searched for the meaning of one of my favorite songs that autonomously played in the background of my concern for the safety of my son. What you wrote, and I just now read makes complete sense and shifted my curiosity to a better understanding of the current situation. Thank you for writing that so I could read it. Even if it’s like a decade old post… it helped me tonight.
