“Quiet” is a song about learning that silence is not only just an option but often a solution for one’s anxieties. Silence and contemplation are the main elements of the song, and Kina Grannis calls the song, “a little experiment in steeping in [her] introversion.”
[Verse 1]
If I could let you in my skin
Then you would know the state I'm in
Feeling every question, every end
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's hard for me to see
Anything else but stormy seas
Set the boat on fire, set me free
[Chorus]
How was I supposed to get by?
Pick myself up, say it's alright, alright
I didn't know it was fine
I didn't know it was fine to be quiet, quiet
[Verse 3]
I never knew where I belonged
Searched for myself in every song
But I had it in the stairwеlls all along
[Chorus]
How was I supposed to get by?
Pick myself up, say it's alright, alright
I didn't know it was finе
I didn't know it was fine to be quiet, quiet
To be quiet, quiet
How was I supposed to get by?
Pick myself up, say it's alright, alright
I didn't know it was fine
I didn't know it was fine to be quiet, quiet
To be quiet, quiet
[Outro]
To be quiet, quiet
To be quiet, quiet
To be quiet, quiet
