Singer against song. In this song, an arrogant singer makes fun of an introvertet man, he can’t understand the way he is and the problems he is faced with. The singer tries to put his mark on the calm song and wants to turn it louder and louder – fortunately, the melody beats the beat. An ironic song that speaks up for more empathy.
lyrics
Uh he's a quiet boy, that's for sure
Quite boys are boring in my point of view
What's the use of such introverted ones?
Like a dumb muted spaceman alone on a frozen moon
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
Uh he's a quiet boy, not quite sane
Maybe a nice guy in his loser's game
A system that creeps in silent mode
But if he decides to live on a tree he's got to eat leaves
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
I mean, I don't get it! It's just a basic ability
You open and shut your mouth while you use your tongue
That shouldn't be too hard to do, what do you think?
How does he spend his day anyway?
He's got to bore himself to death
Well, it's none of my business but it's really bothering me
seeing such living sedative – depressive killjoy!
Quiet boy!
Quiet boy, who do you think you are, Major Tom or whoever?
Quiet boy!
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
Now stop listening to this pseudo progressive nerding stuff!
It has to sound like this!
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
Quiet boy!
Now start listen to me!
It is so fucking loud in here!
Quiet boy, help me!
