2. Purpose/Attention Getter
Music is all around the world. There are over billions of songs of all different genres.in my opinion the songs that you can connect to on an emotional level are the best.
The purpose of this presentation is to convince you that Silence is a deep meaningful song everyone can relate to.

The theme of this song could be forgiveness and rising above and coming to peace

7. Verse 1
Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter 'Cause all my life, I've been fighting Never felt a feeling of comfort All this time, I've been hiding And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah I'm so used to sharing Love only left me alone But I'm at one with the silence
Here the singer explains that he doesn’t want to be fighting through life and relationships
The singer explains that he’s always fighting to make things work and hiding from the good things that might get ruined
He explains that love got him no where and he’s done with the silence

8. Verse 2 {Chorus}
Here the singer finally realizes his problems are a part of life but he’s not going to stay quiet anymore. He’s going to come out better than before
I found peace in your violence Can't tell me there's no point in trying I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long I found peace in your violence Can't tell me there's no point in trying I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long

9. Verse 3
I'm in need of a savior, but I'm not asking for favors My whole life, I've felt like a burden I think too much, and I hate it I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence
Here the singer wants someone to guide him but he’s not going to ask and seem like a burden.
The singer overthinks and he’s exhausted of making mistakes over and over again so he decides to just stop doing things and builds up the courage to be better.

10. Counter Argument
Some people might say the song is too depressing to listen to, but I disagree. You can take many interpretations of this song. To me this song is going through hardships and rising in the end, but to other people it could be about a relationship or it could remind them of the good things that came out on top to help them

11. Conclusion
I hope I gave you an insight on how Silence is a deep meaning song that at least everyone can relate to in their own way. And if you couldn’t which I highly doubt at least you’ll love the beat!
