Story behind the song
Me & Willow had just watched all of the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies back to back and before that we watched ALL of the Eclipse moivies. so the line, "mermaids & vampires, so very strange..." that is where THAT line originates. now the title of the song goes even deeper, it is literally a quote from Captain Jack Sparrow(who doesn't just LOVE him?!?!) non-verbatim, he was told that he could either shut up or walk the plank, and his words were, "I'll be as silent as the grave." - I had heard the turn of phrase before a million times, but that time it STUCK. This song was NOT one of the "hits", but it is still one of my personal favorites off of "Wastoid".
Lyrics
Silent as the Grave
Sometimes the devil wears the savior’s face
Sometimes not everything needs to be explained
Lame to live in this digital age
I’ll just sit here silent as the grave
Static static static – wish I could fly away.
I’ll be at my funeral – but not at the burial
Reincarnate – silent as the grave
Mermaids and vampires-so very strange
Here we are here we go
So what now is left to show?
I just want to Love-I just need a fixx
I’m too far above wondering what’s next
Love life-die hard
I’m shattered-shattered and scarred
Sometimes the angel wears a strangers face
I will exercise my demons for you.
Static static static – wish I could fly away.
