Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for
It hurts to reach you when I'm down
Don't speak again, I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm down

My dreams are growing into
Frustrations when I hear your voice
(Feeding me 'til I'm choking, feeding me 'til I'm choking)
My ears are ringing louder
Repeating words that bring me down
(Ringing, my ears are bleeding, ringing, my ears are bleeding)

So hold your breath and spare me
The pointless conversation, I'm running out of patience
Don't blame me for trying to-

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for
It hurts to reach you when I'm down
Don't speak again, I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm down

As you are moving forward
I feel as if I can't catch up
(Trying so hard to reach you, trying so hard to reach you)
I'm stuck here at the bottom
You're too high up to come back down
(Trying so hard to reach you, trying so hard to reach you)

So hold your breath and spare me
The pointless conversation, I'm running out of patience
Don't blame me for trying to-

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for
It hurts to reach you when I'm down
Don't speak again, I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm down

Silence your harsh words my dear
My ears are ringing of this
I can't stop thinking of it
(I try to reach you but I fall)

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for
It hurts to reach you when I'm down
Don't speak again, I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm down

    General Comment:I think this is about Mental Abuse in a relationship about a once determined strong female partner and a average joe partner, i beleive its about him spending years of tearing her down to make himself great and worth while to her but creates nothing but space and pain between them.

    General Comment:I like the the way the chorus is sung in the last part, with the melodious singing coupled with the screams. Sounds amazing.

    Actually, I feel like this song is about someone who feels like they're superior in comparison to everyone else and shoots other people down, to make themselves feel better. All they do is talk themselves up and never listen to what anyone else has to say.

    "As you are moving forward
    I feel as if I can't catch up
    (Trying so hard to reach you, trying so hard to reach you)
    I'm stuck here at the bottom
    You're too high up to come back down
    (Trying so hard to reach you, trying so hard to reach you)"
    I think that's about her feeling like she can't match up to that person. That they're making her feel inadequate...she's trying to reach up to the person, but it's too hard to because the person feels like he's too good for her.

    "Silence your harsh words my dear
    My ears are ringing of this
    I can't stop thinking of it
    (I try to reach you but I fall)"
    I think 'silence your harsh words my dear' is her telling the person to stop being so critical of her and her dreams. All she can think about is all the the negative things that this person has said about her and her aspirations and it's making her feel like she can't achieve what she wants to achieve.
