Silent So Long is the eleventh song on the album Silent So Long by Emigrate.

Background

• This song features singer Jonathan Davis of Korn.
• The latin middle part "Interiora vide aude aliquid dignum" is sung by Arnaud and translates to "Look inside, dare something worthy".
• In a track-by-track video series, Richard commented this about the song:

Jonathan Davis was actually the first guest to agree to sing on the album.

We wrote, recorded and traveled to LA before I heard from him again. He was the one silent so long.

But shit got loud real quick and it sounded wunderbar.

Lyrics

Album version

I tell you when to speak To get up from your seat You're wearing the letter, abettor See what you've done to me I know there's nothing left to be I know there is no use There is no forever and ever Can't fix what once was whole It used to follow me wherever Like vines that grew (Like vines that grew) I'd run to hold myself together Like vines that grew (Like vines that grew) Silent so long After the wait After I'm on my own I illuminate Below the strong are weak What talked has turned to meat I let it get redder and redder What tore inside of me Alone I am my enemy Alone I see the truth I know that together or severed I'll dig out from the hole It used to follow me wherever Like vines that grew (Like vines that grew) I'd run to hold myself together Like vines that grew (Like vines that grew) Silent so long After the wait After I'm on my own I illuminate Silent so long After the wait After I'm on my own I illuminate Interiora vide aude aliquid dignum Interiora vide aude aliquid dignum Interiora vide aude aliquid dignum Interiora vide aude aliquid dignum Silent so long After the wait After I'm on my own I illuminate Silent so long After the wait After I'm on my own I illuminate Silent so long (Silent so long) After I'm on my own I illuminate
