Silence Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Mendalusa77 

Cover art for Silence lyrics by PJ Harvey

I think it's about someone who is trying to deal with the death of a close friend or loved one. I get the picture the speaker is seeking out old places, old haunts, maybe even the graveside, trying to accept the fact of death. But secretly they expect the dead person to come back or still be there somehow. However, the speaker is only greeted with silence and the finality of the person's absence.
