Tell me how
You, how you do it
With your flaws
And that damn reflection
People's gaze
You say you don't care
They say that's the times
That it fades with time
The highs, the lows
The bad moments
We know each other so well
We're almost friends
Tell me, what do you do
When it gets too loud
To stop the noise
I've hidden tears
Forced out laughs
But the talking monsters
Wake me up at night
I don't wanna hear
Anything now
Except the sound of silence
The sound of silence
The sound of silence
Goodbye doubts
The "I can't do it"
And all it costs me
Not believing in myself
Goodbye the "they say"
Goodbye the "we must"
The complexes we bury
And this jealousy
Toward who we're not
The highs, the lows
The bad moments
We know each other so well
We're almost friends
Tell me, what do you do
When it gets too loud
To stop the noise
Get away from me
Dance far from here
I can't hear myself
You make too much noise
I don't wanna hear
Anything now
Except the sound of silence
The sound of silence
The sound of silence
I can't hear anymore
Deep inside me
Only whispers
There in my voice
I don't believe you anymore
Monsters
Don't exist
The highs, the lows
The bad moments
We know each other so well
We're almost friends
Tell me, what do you do
When it gets too loud
To stop the noise
Tell me, what do you do
When it gets too loud
To stop the noise

SONG MEANING

Mentissa, the sparkling Belgian singer-songwriter, invites us into the hush behind the hustle in Le Bruit du Silence ("The Sound of Silence"). The lyrics read like a late-night chat with a close friend: she wonders how we cope with our quirks, mirrors, and the judging eyes around us. Beneath the upbeat groove, she admits to hiding tears, forcing laughter, and fighting those talkative "monsters" of self-doubt that keep her awake. All she longs for is a quiet inner space where she can finally turn down the mental volume.

In the second half of the song she flips the script, boldly saying goodbye to doubts, comparisons, and the exhausting you shoulds. By chasing away every noisy thought, she discovers only gentle whispers in her own voice and realizes the monsters were never real. The chorus becomes an anthem of self-acceptance: when life spins too fast, the truest music is the noise of silence—a calm confidence that lets you believe in yourself again.
