What is the meaning of 'The Silence' by Mayday Parade?

Answer 1

Derek Sanders said they wrote it for the "Twilight: New Moon" soundtrack ("without his touch of skin so cold"). However, the sound never made it onto the soundtrack.

The meaning of the silence is about a girl who is cheated on and abused by her boyfriend and she cries every night. Here are the lyrics:

Tear in two, she lies awake,

The moon lights up the room like day

Another night she spends alone,

Without his touch of skin so cold

The blood that's running through her veins,

With every beat theres no escape,

Lost in everything she trust,

Still cant seem to get enough.

Even though the world she loves,

It wont ever be the way it was,

And his heart of stone left hers breaking.

Every night she cries and dies a little more each time,

Say you love me (you love me),

Nothing left inside

Say you love me,

And the silence will set her free.

Memories they take her back,

Every moment fades to black,

Every kiss and every taste,

She wishes time would ease her pain.

Even though the world she loves,

It wont ever be the way it was,

And her heart is weak, her hands are shaking.

Every night she cries,

And dies a little more each time,

Say you love me (you love me),

Nothing left inside,

Say you love me,

And the silence will set her free.

And every night she cries.

I don't know if I'll ever make this right,

Cause i am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness,

And im so scared of this.

I don't know if I'll ever make this right,

Cause i am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness,

And im so scared.

Even though the world she loves,

It wont ever be the way it was,

And his heart of stone left hers breaking.

every night she cries,

And dies a little more each time,

Say you love me (you love me),

Nothing left inside,

Say you love me,

And the silence will set her free.

(every night she cries,

Every night she cries,

The silence will set her free)
