I really love the wisdom in this song and how Lara goes about presenting it. It's like she's sharing a part of her soul but also telling you what she's learned with so little separating it.
"Are you familiar or should I show you around? It is a cold room with nothing inside Not a sound But you'll be amazed what stillness can do It will get you right to you"

Yeah, I agree, Leona. It's an amazing song, and very wise. It seems to me that she is saying that she has been ' to hell and back' with regards to the deepest side of her pain, and is inviting us to that place where she has come out not only alive but even stronger for it. By showing us this place she is saying that we too will be stronger for it. It's a room that most of us spend a lifetime avoiding, like some attic in a haunted house, but a place we must go to if we are ever going to know who we really are. It's in that place, those 'moments between every word' where we truly reside. If we are going to be less than superficial people, we had better spend some time there!

I agree. It's overcoming the deep pain that some of us experience that make us stronger. Being in an emotional hell can make you find so much more about yourself than anything that anyone can tell you.

Lara calls it "that moment in time" in this song, and you are so very correct!

"Silence"
I've learned so much After these years of despair And I've been in touch With the deepest side of my pain All that I can say Is that, there's nothing there Not even a dream to share Are you familiar? Or should I show you around? It's a cold room With nothing inside Not a sound But you'll be amazed What stillness can do It will get you right to you
Silence (Silence) Is the moment between every word Is the best friend you'll have in the world That moment in time Will help you to survive Silence
Now that you've seen it You don't need to go back at all And when you'll feel that Cold room inside You'll stand tall You will embrace it As you recall It made you strong after all
Silence (Silence) Is the moment between every word Is the best friend you'll have in the world That moment in time Will help you to survive Silence
Silence
Let your consciousness finally be heard It's unconcious But you'll hear them burst The voices inside will bring you back to life
(Silence, silence) It's the moment in time (Silence, silence) Silence (Silence, silence) Let it be
