Silent Shout is such a dark song, from such a cold, dark, but really beautiful album. I think the song could be about confronting one's own inner fears, she "now knows fragility", before she was unable to speak, only "mumble randomly". But she has a dream and sees her fears, and is ahunted by them for the rest of her life. She cannot escape what she fears most. Although, I also would understand some gender-bending theory ebcause the song does use the octave filter, so it sounds like Karin Dreijer is a man. The song certainly deals with the inability to communicate, she cannot speak, and even the title "Silent Shout" reflects that theme. Congratulatiosn to The Knife on having Silent Shout named the best album of the year by pitchfork. The song is the soundtrak to my nightmares, lol.
