Silent Thunder

Zadie and the Rambunctionals

Desire held inside too long, loud enough to feel but not yet brave enough to speak.

Liner Notes

Silent Thunder comes from the space where feeling arrives before courage does. It reflects the early ache of wanting connection without yet having the confidence to speak it aloud — the tension between what’s felt deeply and what remains unshared. Rather than rushing toward resolution, the song stays with that quiet intensity, honoring the fear, hope, and vulnerability of being seen before knowing how to ask.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Eyes like fire but my tongue won’t spark
Heart’s a drum pounding in the dark
She walks by I turn to stone
I’m a shadow sinking alone

Pre-Chorus
Words choke me like a broken chain
Every time I try I freeze again

Chorus
Silent thunder in my chest
All these words I can’t confess
Screaming inside but she can’t hear
Silent thunder loud with fear

Verse 2
Saw her laughing by the old school wall
Wanted to call her but my voice too small
I wrote her name in the dust on my shoes
Every step I take just feels like lose

Pre-Chorus
The air gets heavy when she’s near
My head’s a riot but my mouth won’t clear

Chorus
Silent thunder in my chest
All these words I can’t confess
Screaming inside but she can’t hear
Silent thunder loud with fear
