Tori Amos – Silent All These Years Lyrics | 22 years ago |
i completely think this song has a different meaning than what you are all saying! (not that you might not be right, but i just think there's more to it) .. i dont know if it has to do with her being pregnant or not, but i think it's about how she doesn't feel like the guy is listening to anything she says and she hates it.... "Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been years/ silent all these years " .. that seems definitely like she's trying to stand up to him and it's really hard because she's been with him for a long time and let him walk all over her and "choke on my tears" is like she can't get them (tears, feelings, whatever) out even though she's really upset about this guy .. maybe he's cheating on her (then the jeans line would make sense) "Years go by will I still be waiting/ For somebody else to understand" sounds like she doesnt want to break up with him, or even speak up, because she's scared she won't find another guy "I got something to say you know but NOTHING comes Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up Yeah I can hear that " sounds like, yet again, she can't make herself stand up to him and it's all about what he thinks, just like in the part where it says "Well I love the way we communicate Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up The sky is falling " ... anyone have any feedback? |
