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:[2]

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
