Quiet - Tim Minchin

[00:12.69]Have you ever wondered,
[00:14.54]well, I have, about how when I say,
[00:16.22]say \"red\", for example,
[00:17.81]there's no way of knowing
[00:19.48]if \"red\" means the same thing in your head,
[00:21.84]as \"red\" means in my head,
[00:23.09]when someone says \"red\".
[00:24.51]And how if we are traveling at almost the speed of light,
[00:27.77]and were holding a light,
[00:29.41]that light would still travel away from us
[00:32.09]at the full speed of light?
[00:34.04]Which seems right in a way,
[00:35.41]but I'm trying to say, I'm not sure,
[00:37.80]but I wonder if inside myhead
[00:39.64]I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends.
[00:42.62]These answers that come into my mind unbidden,
[00:45.90]these stories delivered to me fully written.
[00:48.54]And when everyone shouts
[00:50.04]like they seem to like shouting,
[00:51.54]the noise in my head is incredibly loud.
[00:54.48]Well, I just wish they'd stop,
[00:55.79]my dad and my mum.
[00:57.14]And the telly and stories
[00:59.07]would stop for just once.
[01:00.28]I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right,
[01:02.98]but this noise becomes anger,
[01:04.90]and the anger is light.
[01:06.22]And this burning inside me
[01:07.77]would usually fade,
[01:09.60]but isn't today.
[01:10.85]And the heat and the shouting,
[01:12.38]and my heart is pounding,
[01:13.57]and my eyes are burning,
[01:15.52]and suddenly everything,
[01:17.58]everything is quiet.
[01:30.39]Like silence, but not really silent,
[01:42.39]just that still sort of quiet,
[01:48.08]like the sound of a page being turned in a book,
[01:54.77]or a pause in a walk in the woods.
[02:02.72]Quiet,
[02:11.29]like silence, but not really silent,
[02:22.97]just that nice kind of quiet,
[02:29.32]like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed,
[02:36.18]just the sound of your heart in your head.
[02:42.81]And though the people around me,
[02:47.74]their mouths are still moving,
[02:51.91]the words they are forming
[02:57.43]cannot reach me anymore.
[03:05.65]And it is quiet,
[03:10.95]and I am warm,
[03:17.36]like I've sailed
[03:27.98]into the eye of the storm.
