Cutting Through The Noise To Make Your Own Noise
I love all the hard rock collaborations that are happening. It is so cool when artists get together and co-create. One of my favorites who does this a lot is Lzzy Hale. Yesterday I heard a collaboration with Nita Strauss featuring Lzzy for the song “Through The Noise.” It is awesome and the lyrics sparked some deep thinking and reflection. I so love the art of lyrics because we can interpret and use them in any way we want.
The lyrics “This crowd won’t recognize your crown / Doesn’t mean you’re out / When you hit a rut, keep it up” convey a message of resilience and self-belief. It suggests that even if others don’t acknowledge or appreciate your success or potential (“crowd won’t recognize your crown”), it doesn’t mean you’re finished or defeated (“doesn’t mean you’re out”). When facing setbacks or difficult times (“hit a rut”), it’s important to persevere and continue pushing forward (“keep it up”). These lyrics do an incredible job of encouraging staying confident and persistent despite lack of external validation (which I say is overrated anyway) or temporary challenges.
Additionally, the phrase “In the dark I see you / A spark within the dust” adds a powerful layer of meaning to the lyrics. It suggests that even in difficult or bleak circumstances (“the dark” and “dust”), there is something bright and resilient—like a “spark”—that stands out. This imagery emphasizes hope, inner strength, and individuality amid adversity.
The subsequent lines, “Tearin’ down the obvious / ‘Cause in this world there’s nothing left to trust / But your own voice, make your own noise,” reinforce the idea that external sources of certainty or guidance may be unreliable. Instead, one must look inward, trusting their own intuition and voice.
Overall, these lyrics highlight themes of resilience, self-reliance, and the importance of finding one’s own light and truth even when external signs seem bleak or uncertain. It encourages confidence in oneself to create change and make noise despite challenging surroundings.
