The Silence Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Chz_Urself 

Cover art for The Silence lyrics by Bastille

I think this song is about an estranged relationship. The person speaking is on the proverbial outside looking in as he sees this person he loves slowly coming apart inside. The person whom he's speaking to has had to walk through life alone and learned to rely on themselves. The speaker is begging them to talk, say something or anything to let him in past their walls. To rely on someone else for a change.
