The song "Silence" by JJ Heller is a comforting and supportive ballad, highlighting the theme of being there for someone during their tough and uncertain times. The lyrics convey the idea of walking alongside someone who is experiencing sorrow, despair, and a feeling of being stuck in life. "The path in your head is worn with sorrow and dread, It’s always the same dead end" suggests that the person's mind is burdened with pain and anguish, and they feel trapped in their own thoughts. The line "The need to be safe keeps you awake, It’s always just out of reach" portrays a constant longing for security and stability that seems unattainable. The chorus emphasizes the feeling of overwhelming darkness and confusion: "When the dark presses in like a landslide, And you don’t really know what to do, When the world is beyond understanding, I will sit in the silence with you." This part signifies the presence of a supportive friend or loved one who is willing to be with the person during their darkest moments, even when it feels like there are no answers or solutions. The lyrics "Everyone hurts, But some dreams have to die in the dirt, Before they can live again" express the acknowledgment that in life, everyone faces pain and disappointment. Sometimes, dreams need to be let go and face the realities and challenges of life before they can be revived and given a new chance. Overall, the song "Silence" is about being a source of comfort, empathy, and companionship for someone as they navigate through their struggles. It reassures that even in the silence, the singer will be there, offering support and understanding.
