Lyrically Speaking #17
How many times have you turned on the radio and come to a song that just begged for the rest of the story? It’s always been said that there’s a story behind every song and that music inspires.
Well, inspiration comes in many forms. And even the song writer had to have been inspired to write his music. But, what possessed them to write that line or tell that story? While we can’t get their point of view on what works, we welcome yours in this creative bent on lyrics.
We’ll offer you a verse from a song (all credit given where credit is due), and it may or may not be something you recognize. What we’d like to see is your story behind that verse. What do you think happened to have those lines so poignantly written?
Today’s verse comes from Silence performed by Delirium with Sarah McLachlan:

and I wanted to believe
that I’d get caught up
when the rage in me subsidesIn this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believePassion chokes the flower
’til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more
