[Spoken Intro – whisper]
Listen…
do you hear that?
that's not silence
that's the sound
of everything
I had to let go
"Deep in the silence, I find my sound."
[Spoken Intro – whisper including a flute melody]
In the silence of the night,
the ringing starts again
as if my head
wants to tell me something
that I've known for a long time
sometimes pain
is just a choice
that finally has to be made
[Singing Intro male voice + hissing and sussing whispers behind the singing female voice]
Toothache in the night
choices in my life
a throbbing truth
that I can no longer ignore
tinnitus coming
my ears start ringing
as if the silence disappears
and my head keeps ringing
right ear full of tension
stress that won't go away
too many worries
too much sadness
"Deep in the silence, I find my sound."
Chorus
Tinnitus, tension, and stress
take care of tomorrow
a nerve that bothers
in the silence of my ears
but I breathe in again
and I breathe out again
because deep in the silence
I find my sound
[Singing male voice + humming whispers behind the singing female voice]
Verse 2
So much to process
too little time
doubts and guilt
that someone once told me
the pressure of work
the pressure of studying
nights without sleep
thoughts stay here
about tiredness
burnout
my body says
it has to be different now
“Deep in the silence I find my sound.”
Chorus
Tinnitus, tension, and stress
worry about tomorrow
a nerve that bothers
in the silence of my ears
but I breathe in again
and I breathe out again
because deep in the silence
I find my sound
Verse 3
More need for oxygen
warmth and love
need for time
time for myself
time to feel
time to be
time to live again
without that pain
“Deep in the silence I find my sound.”
Chorus
Tinnitus, tension, and stress
worry about tomorrow
a nerve that bothers
in the silence of my ears
but I breathe in again
and I breathe out again
because deep in the silence
I find my sound
Bridge
No fears for tomorrow
No tears, no worries
No fear of laziness
I am liberated
Need the dentist now
a tooth that forces me
to take steps
that my heart already sings
“Deep in the silence I find my sound.”
Big Chorus
Tinnitus, tension, and stress
But I let it go
The silence returns
In my head
I breathe freely again
I let you go
Because deep in the silence
I dare to go further
Outro
Not a toothache, but
the pain of this choice
I let you go
I am free again
I follow my path
It's my time now
I take the peace
The space and time
I choose without choosing
Because I already lost you
"Deep in the silence I find my sound."
