‘SPEAK’ is about fighting for what you believe in despite everyone else being silent. It incorporates references to ‘The Matrix’, which emphasizes this song’s meaning.
[Intro]
You can run and hide, but will you survive?
You can run and hide, but will you survive?
You can run and hide, but will you survive?
You can run and hide, but will you survive?
[Verse 1]
The blind, they hide in subtle disguise
Trying to take the light, so cover your eyes
They say, "Swallow the blue pill
Live with us in a perfect system
Swallow the red pill
Fail the test, a fucking victim"
[Pre-Chorus]
It's easy to run, it's easy to hide
But will you survive?
[Chorus]
Break through the silence
Break through the madness
Free your mind and you will see the difference
Break through the silence
Break through the madness
Speak your mind and fight for your existence
[Verse 2]
The wise, they pry, observing our lives
Taking control of minds, they blatantly lie
So I say, "Swallow the blue pill
Live your life in a silent prison
Swallow the red pill
See the truth we're fucking missing"
[Pre-Chorus]
It's easy to run, it's easy to hide
But will you survive?
[Chorus]
Break through the silence
Break through the madness
Free your mind and you will see the difference
Break through the silence
Break through the madness
Speak your mind and fight for your existence
[Bridge]
They can slow us down
But they can't take control
They can slow us down
But they can't take control
No
Free yourself and
[Chorus]
Break through the silence
Break through the madness
Free your mind and you will see the difference
Break through the silence
Break through the madness
Speak your mind and fight for your existence
[Outro]
Break through the silence
Free your mind and you will see the difference
Break through the madness
Speak your mind and fight for your existence
