In Tim’s track-by-track of Strangeland, he said about “Silenced by the Night”:
Towards the end of 2009 I started to feel that I really wasn’t writing enough songs. The touring for Perfect Symmetry made it hard to find time to write, and between trying to finish Night Train and write a few songs for...
In a city like mine there's no point in fighting
I close my eyes, see you and me driving
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then
I lie in the dark; I feel I'm falling
Feel your hand on my back; hear your voice calling
I'm out of my depth, girl, stick close to me
Because the people in this town
They look straight through me
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then
'Cause, baby, I'm not scared of this world when you're here
No, baby I'm not scared of this world when you're here
Ooohh oohoo, you and I, we're gonna rise again
Ooohh oohoo, you and I, we're gonna rise again
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then
