Silent Scream is a raw, powerful anthem highlighting the deeply ingrained governmental corruption that neglects the cries of the hungry and suffering. The song captures the frustration and desperation of those left behind, urging the masses to rise up against the indifference of authority. With emotionally charged lyrics and Cobain's signature grunge sound, this track is a call to action for societal awareness and change.
Verse 1:
In shadows where the hungry lie,
Promises of help, they drift and die.
Empty plates on the cold, hard ground,
Voices drowned, no one hears a sound.
Chorus:
Silent scream, can you hear it call?
The weight of the world, it burdens us all.
Fingers raised to the power that be,
We won’t sit back as they let us bleed.
Verse 2:
Broken dreams in a rusted shell,
They close their eyes, oh can’t you tell?
Corruption flows like a river wide,
But we keep fighting, there's nowhere to hide.
(Chorus)
Silent scream, can you hear it call?
The weight of the world, it burdens us all.
Fingers raised to the power that be,
We won’t sit back as they let us bleed.
Bridge:
When the bell tolls for the lost and lost,
Remember the ones who paid the cost.
Together we’ll rise, and together we’ll stand,
Break the chains with our bare hands.
Chorus:
Silent scream, can you hear it call?
The weight of the world, it burdens us all.
Fingers raised to the power that be,
We won’t sit back as they let us bleed.
Outro:
Silent scream, hear the battle cry,
We won’t back down, we’ll reach for the sky.
From the ashes of despair, we will grow,
Together in the fight, we’ll overthrow.

This song is about governmenal corruption and the push back from it's people, it's about hunger and famine and the fact nobody's doing nothing about it.
