Salt Her Silence - Obsidian Heartbreak - Dark Gothic Rock

Описание: “Salt on Their Silence” is a dark gothic rock ballad that tells the story of a woman who chooses comfort over truth, and the irreversible damage that choice leaves behind. Through haunting guitars and an emotional build, the song explores betrayal, silence, and the cost of refusing accountability.

This song closes a dark book, but has also helped write the first chapter in a new beginning.

This song does not glorify abuse. It exposes the devastation caused by denial, misplaced loyalty, and the refusal to confront harm. It stands with survivors and gives voice to the pain that silence leaves behind.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
You built a life from wedding rings,
Thirty winters, shared last names.
Photographs lie on the walls,
Smiling mouths that hide the truth.
Then a whisper crawled out of the dark,
A little skeleton with shaking hands,
Your truth arrived without a warning—
And split your world where you stand.

Pre-Chorus
He swore it wasn’t what it seemed,
Said time distorts the young and weak.
You closed your eyes, you chose his voice,
Called love the louder truth to keep.

Chorus
You stand beside the devil you know,
Wrapped your arms around his shame.
Turned your back on a broken girl,
Called her suffering a game.
You salt her silence, brand her a liar,
Protect the monster you won’t face.
It’s easier to bury blood
Than watch your perfect life decay.

Verse 2
She was twelve when the night learned her name,
When innocence learned how to scream.
Years grew heavy inside her bones,
While he aged gentle and clean.
Now she's a woman with a trembling voice,
Still afraid to speak too loud,
While you hide behind him,
Wearing love like holy ground.

Pre-Chorus
You say, Why ruin what you had?
Why drag the past into the light?
As if truth were the greater sin,
As if silence made it right.

Chorus
You stand beside the devil you know,
Wrapped your arms around his shame.
Turned your back on a broken girl,
Called her suffering a game.
You salt her silence, brand her a liar,
Protect the monster you won’t face.
It’s easier to bury blood
Than watch your perfect life decay.

Bridge (Half-Sung – Gothic Style)
You won’t knock on her door.
You won’t hear her breathe.
Cowardice wears a wedding band
And calls itself belief.
You chose comfort over conscience,
A lie over her pain—
And wonder why the mirror
Won’t say your name.

Final Chorus (Stripped then Exploding)
You stand beside the devil you know,
And let the angels bleed.
Called forgiveness family loyalty,
Called betrayal peace.
No apology, no courage,
Just a locked and bolted heart.
You didn’t lose your sister
You tore her apart.

Outro
And somewhere the silence still cries,
But not for him…
Only for the broken girl suffering still.....
