About

“Silence Speaks” is the fourth single from While She Sleep’s album You Are We. It’s a criticism of those who don’t speak up for what they believe in and instead let others' hateful voices win through. Frontman Loz Taylor explained it as a product of the political times experienced in the UK recently...

Silence Speaks Lyrics

[Chorus: Loz Taylor with Mat Welsh]
Where is your heart? Can we beat this if we all
Tear the borders, break the walls, together as one?
The cruel hand of a faithless destiny that never sleeps (Oh, oh-oh)
The guiltless restraints assured by deceit (Oh, oh-oh)
Are we free? (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Are we all alone? (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1: Loz Taylor & Mat Welsh, Both]
If you gonna accuse me of pourin' too much salt in the wound
We have just proved that they can pollute our heads with the news
They will manipulate the masses again
If you gonna accuse me of tellin' you what you already knew
It's the same song sung with a different truth
And all of us forget it 'cause our head's inside the noose
They will manipulate the masses again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we won't forget it
You better pray for absolution
You can change but you can't deny
The new wave in a terror nation
Why do we ignore the warning signs?
Board it up, the borders are shut
The blood of the innocent is under the rug
White lies in a world corrupt
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes?
War will cease when we refuse to fight

[Chorus: Loz Taylor & Mat Welsh, Both]
Where is your heart? Can we beat this if we all
Tear the borders, break the walls, together as one?
The cruel hand of a faithless destiny that never sleeps (Oh, oh-oh)
The guiltless restraints assured by deceit (Oh, oh-oh)
Are we free? (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Are we all alone? (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Are we all alone?

[Verse 2: Loz Taylor & Mat Welsh]
Hope widows, shattered windows
Restriction without effect
Deadlines in silhouettes
Why do we ignore the warning signs?
Cold calls to derelict homes
Needles at the side of the road
Wires and liars like thorns that won't let go
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes?
War will cease when we refuse to fight
Tell me, where is your heart?

[Breakdown: Oli Sykes & Loz Taylor]
I think the silence speaks volumes
Now, we march to our own drums
They're only singing what they want to be sung
Hate's become the new anthem
How could you?
When did our veins run numb?
We treat our species like a fuckin' flood
Hate's becomin' our new anthem

[Bridge: Loz Taylor with Mat Welsh]
The longer I live, I learn that we don't belong
We've taken more than we can give
And you'd do better on your own
The longer I live, I learn that we don't belong
We've taken more than we can give
And you'd do better, better on your own
Are we all alone?

[Outro: Mat Welsh with Loz Taylor]
Tear the borders, break the walls, take us back to when we're all
Together as one, taught to love, born to live and let go
Tear the borders, break the walls, take us back to when we're all
Together as one, taught to love, born to live and let go

Loz told Alt Press:

We were all at Tom’s wake. Wow, what a...

What did While She Sleeps say about "Silence Speaks"?

Loz Taylor said in an interview

I think a lot of the running themes that we have in While She Sleeps come across as slightly political. With the new album, there’s a lot of personal feelings in the songs that in a strange way balance out a lot of the political vibes. We started writing stuff about...

How much did Oli help in the writing of the song?

Oli stated in an interview:

For the part I sing on, I suggested a change in the structure. I made a quick sloppy edit on Logic as Loz’s lyric ‘Where is your heart’ gave me the inspiration for the lyric ‘I think the silence speaks volumes’, and I thought it would be cool to illustrate the line with...
