Serj Tankian - Deafening Silence Lyrics






I know who you are
I know who you are not
I know who you are
I, I know who you are not

The silence is deafening to my ears
How could the obvious be ignored?
The silence is threatening then she appears
The ceremony is performed

I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she disappears

Ends of my mind, my thoughts trembling
The hands of time, time always meddling

The silence is deafening to my ears
How could the obvious be ignored?
The silence is threatening then she appears
The ceremony is performed

I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she disappears

Nightlights are for children
Mornings for adults
Know the egalitarian equinox
The hands of my mind, my thoughts trembling
The hands of time, time always meddling
Silence is deafening to my ears
How could the obvious be ignored?
The silence is threatening then she appears
The ceremony will always be performed

The silence is deafening to my ears
Seized by the impressions of passers in the night

I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she disappears

I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she reappears

I know who you are

    Purge what needs purged right now. The shift is coming. Union is Divine manifest destiny. The ceremony is being performed nightly.

  8. T.... M....

    I am Ma’at. I am the MAGDALENE!

  9. T.... M....

    I just got unmarried and so will you. We are twin flames, so you will never have real peace without me, so get your ass right. Like right now.

  11. T.... M....

    I have a place to sleep for one week. I can see a brutal winter coming. Erie winters are biblical in how brutal they are, lots of homeless die from exposure here. I’ve suffered so much already. The streets are lonely and just amplifies the total lack of love in my life. No one gives any shits what happens to me, not even my own son. A raped, beaten, and abused woman is something no one cares to see.

    T.... M....

    I also don't care. Fuck off

  12. s.... 2....

    Superbe serj the best !!!!

  13. T.... M....

    I am already translated to Russian, my German friend André and his daughter did the German as well.

  14. T.... M....

    So is this how it’s going to be? Am I to talk in code for the rest of this vessel’s days? I going through all this for the sake of humanity, yet none of the even care what I’m doing. No one has any clue what grounding this shit does to me. I don’t want to push on anymore... it is thankless work, and I’m just beat

  15. T.... M....

    I know who you are too. STOP THE CHARADES

  16. T.... M....

    I pray you know your own majik. I will surely die if you do not.

  17. �.... ....

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    I know who you are
    I know who you are not
    I know who you are
    I, I know who you are not

    The silence is deafening to my ears
    How could the obvious be ignored?
    The silence is threatening when she appears
    The ceremony is performed

    I'm here to paint you with my tears
    Decried my spirit over my fears
    I can't walk away from all the years
    Serene inside, she disappears

    I'm here to paint you with my tears
    Decried my spirit over my fears
    I can't walk away from all the years
    Serene inside, she disappears

    Nightlights are for children, mornings for adults
    Not in carrying equinox
    The hands of my mind, my thoughts trembling
    The hands of time, time always meddling
    Silence is deafening to my ears
    How could the obvious be ignored?
    The silence is threatening when she appears
    The ceremony will always be performed

    The silence is deafening to my ears
    Seized by the impressions of passers in the night

    I'm here to paint you with my tears
    Decried my spirit over my fears

    Serene inside, she reappears

    I know who you are.

  41. I.... A....

    I almost cried listening to this song, knowing that Serj does the female voice too, omg such a song <3

    I.... A....

    The female voice is not Serj. It is his wife Angela Madatyan. In the album booklet it is abbreviated as "Ange" and she is listed as an additional vocal.

    I.... A....

    +ImmortalZod sorry! that's what i heard. Thanks for the correction

    I.... A....

    But in Lie lie lie, Serj does the female voices xdxd

  42. d.... o....

    B.... ....

    it is indeed pretty tbh

    B.... ....

    Right in my fee fees

  46. J.... A....

    what album is this off of?

    J.... A....

    +John Adams Harakiri (year 2012)

  47. m.... z....

    what's the meaning of the lyrics ?

    m.... z....

    i think its about time and death, but maybe its about political stuff, who knows...

    m.... z....

    +muath zahra Up for interpretation. I think it's how we block ourselves from the real world

  48. A.... ....

    Serj is one of the most talented people ever! Serj is love.... Serj is life... (in a low growling voice)

  49. J.... A....

    How did I not know this song existed?  It's beautiful

  50. B.... G....

    Genialllll

  51. J.... ....

    anybody hear a duck?

    J.... ....

    F.... n....

    F.... n....

    Ainda não conhecia o trabalho dele solo, simplesmente fantástico

    F.... n....

    ah blz eu moro em sp zona sul ah eu prefiro ele solo do que no system of a down e ólha que eu prefiro bandas mais pesadas como new metal deathcore e metalcore .

  53. J.... B....

  54. K.... F....

    This is my favourite song by Serj. So beautiful, so haunting, so melancolic

  56. J.... B....

    I can honestly say that it's the most beautiful song ever created by Serj!

    J.... B....

    Occupied tears?

    J.... B....

    Nah Cornucopia, Feed us, or Streamline

    J.... B....

    What about 36

    J.... B....

    You just need to put "one of best" in there xD

    J.... B....

    Harakiri

  57. k.... ....

  58. G.... G....

    amo a música, principalmente a melodia ;3

  59. W.... ....

    The hands of time, time always mattering? i always though i meddling instead of mattering o.o

    W.... ....

    Because it is meddling, listen closely. 

  60. M.... M....

    So sad...

  61. G.... ....

    For the sake of good music

  62. S.... ....

    All the backround voices are made by Serj there is no real female voices ,just Serj doing all the stuff.If you know Serj and the stuff he did in the past, you know i'm right.So stop telling that he sung it with his wife or another female singer.

    S.... ....

    Who does the beatboxing tho?

    S.... ....

    +D Lilium She is also on Yes, it's genocide, beatus and Wings of Summer. It's not Serj.

    S.... ....

    "The silence is threatening then she appears" (all occurrences)
    "Serene and sad, she disappears" (all occurrences)
    "The hands of time, time always meddling" (all occurrences)
    "Non-egalitarian equinox"

    All based on the booklet and pronunciation within the song. Otherwise this is a pretty nicely done video, nice picture choices.
