	I take the line's about silence to mean that Silence is sickening because whilst everything is silent, that means no-one is voicing an opinion. Everyone is conforming to the everyday things that the system presents us with. This may not be correct but that's what I take from it.

No Picture Zane Rhythm Player	#3 by Zane Bardarson at May 29, 1977 at 10:47 AM EST
	yo, im only 14, i fuckin love rage, i feel what zach says and he got powerful lyrics... the part like 'if the vibe was suicide then u would pussh the button, if u bowin down then let me do the cuttin' i think its showin how america is all one big fashion... we all movie together... and if ur gonna change urself to be part of it, u should be cut down.

	This song is clearly about conformity with a brainwashed mainstream of people following trait coz its considered "the norm," regardless of what it is.... but I also think it has something of a domestic violence feel to it. Women who suffer at the hands of abusive partners often stay silent out of fear and confusion - "silence can be violent" A .44 full of bullets Face full of pale Eyes full of empty A stare full of nails Women who constantly put up with domestic violence eventually break. I think the .44 is a metaphor for her reaching breaking point after years of abuse. You find that many women carry out extreme acts of violence towards their abusive partners from bottling up their rage, instead of letting it out. The: Face full of pale Eyes full of empty A stare full of nails... is her in a state of disollusion - almost like she has no choice - its either this, or face more abuse.
