Freaking Loud

Adán Cruz's song 'Freaking Loud' delves into the profound and often paradoxical nature of silence in relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a connection so deep that words become unnecessary. The opening lines, 'Your silence is magic, grow your body out of love spillover me,' suggest that the unspoken bond between the two individuals is powerful and transformative. The 'dress of hope' symbolizes the optimism and potential that silence can bring, allowing their words to resonate more profoundly when they do speak. This theme is further emphasized with the line, 'The best thing I could say is nothing at all,' highlighting the idea that sometimes silence can convey more than words ever could.

The chorus, 'Breathe in loud, say nothing, say the words,' juxtaposes the act of breathing—an essential, life-sustaining action—with the concept of silence. This contrast underscores the idea that silence can be as vital and meaningful as speech. The repetition of 'Breathe in loud, say nothing' reinforces the notion that silence can be a powerful form of communication, capable of expressing deep emotions and thoughts without uttering a single word.

In the second verse, Cruz explores the complexities of communication further. 'The voice won't ring, the truth the less I think, the more I like you,' suggests that overthinking and excessive talking can sometimes obscure the truth and the genuine feelings one has for another. The 'sound of filthy words' and 'the hardest argument to kill' imply that words can often complicate and tarnish relationships. By contrast, the silence shared between the two individuals in the song allows for a purer, more authentic connection. This idea is encapsulated in the recurring theme that 'the best thing I could say is nothing at all,' emphasizing the beauty and power of silence in fostering deep, meaningful relationships.
