- Silent Running Lyrics

Take your children and yourself and hide out in the cellar.
By now the fighting will be close at hand.
Don't believe the church and state
and everything they tell you.
Believe in me
I'm with the high command.

Can you hear me
can you hear me running?
Can you heal me running
can you hear me calling you?
Can you heal me
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running
can you hear me calling you?

There's a gun and amnunition just inside the doorway;
Use it only in emergency.
Better you should pray to God
the father and the spirit.
Will guide you and protect you from up here.
Can you hear me
can you hear me running? . . .

Show allegiance to the flag whatever flag they offer.
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for some day sons and daughters.
Will rise up and fight where we stood still.

Can you hear me
can you hear me running? . . .

Can you hear me
can you hear me running?
Can you heal me running
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me
hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running
hear me running
babe!
Can you hear me running
hear me running!
Calling you
calling you!

What is the meaning behind Silent Running lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the song 'Silent Running' by Genesis delivers a message that people should resist oppressive forces while they should disobey authority through independent thinking. The lyrics present metaphors through which they use cellar hiding and emergency gun usage and quiet child education to demonstrate that people need to maintain caution and preparedness while they execute secret acts of defiance against controlling forces. Silent running lyrics mainly deliver social commentary which describes the states of angst and despair while they explore the themes of freedom and empowerment. The song shows how war and conflict and faith and guidance and rebellion and resistance all hold equal significance in its message. The lyrics contain themes of conflict and emergency situations, which may not be suitable for younger children without parental guidance. The content requires parental discretion because the context shows characters hiding from fighting while mentioning a gun.
