lirik lagu egwu nnanna echem & grandfather - silence
silence
if pictures speak a thousand words
silence is the only word it doesn’t speak
growing up, our parents wished the house was quiet
voicing our thoughts were things they won’t let
i bet we m~st~rbated our dreams with the creams of their judgements
i guess they had better intentions that the after~effects were not meant
our teachers’ three most favorite words were:
“silеnce…” “silence…” “silеnce!”
mechionu there!!
our world views were confined to brick walls and high fences
our extracurricular classes had a content of their sly lessons
we had a bright colored future they only saw through grey lenses
we wanted to protest, but we could only do it through sigh~lenses
like “#=%@&)^$”
so we grew up that way:
strangling some visions and ambitions
the status quo threatened our questions with false inquisition
no wonder we fell in love with fairy tales, superheroes, and fanfiction
and to further quench the echo, they fed us with superstition
silence is the part of us that is double~edged, golden!
it’s a shadow of wisdom and a cloak to foolishness
it can make or break a situation
it can create or destroy a person
everyone has a craving for its potion
its power is beyond reason
they didn’t tell us there are times not meant for silence
they didn’t tell us speaking up doesn’t mean violence
so it was easier to get us molested, and our rights arrested
the future became our prisons with our chains crested “leaders.”
they were right after all, you know “child right act” had us acting right
so no wonder the future to whose leaders we are is yet unborn
so wake up, flame up, and let your torches burn!
they did tell us there were things to speak up for
that silence means more of support for
the things we didn’t believe
after all, who believed our report?
silence is like the saprophyte that saps you of your will
and fights your opinion
it’s never alone
its union has more rings than the onion
it is goliath waking up daily pointing fingers and saying:
“you will never win or come forth”
a society knitted in silence is a thread away from loosening (losing)
this is comfort!
i dare you to break the silence!
i dare you to break the silence; it is salient
live, believe, and let live
but don’t leave without letting your opinion known
speak out when you’re hurting
for fear and silence breeds darkness
but you are salt and light
it is in you!
this is not an advert for peak
