Who are we?

Silent Reflection is a metal band based in Zürich Switzerland, founded by Salvadoran guitarist Juan Jeanpierre and Chilean drummer Valentino Anziani. The band was formed in 2021 with the intention of bringing a powerful metal sound and using it as a canvas to convey in words the need of facing inner fears and overcoming any obstacles in the busy life.


Their style fuses Orchestra sounds, powerful guitar riffs and choruses with meaningful lyrics centered on self-reflection to make you want to explore and embrace your darkest inner thoughts and use them to your advantage. They express their message through clean voices and growls.

Lyric

Lost in a world of smoke
Where I can't find my path
The illusionist's mirage
Play tricks with my mind
I'm drowning in a sea of sorrow
But it's at this moment
When this fire ignites!

Diving into the sun
Keeps this flame burning
Diving into the light (This spark cannot be extinguished!)
Diving into this life
Fearless, fly away!
Nothing is enough to turn off (Your light!)

Trapped in a world of lies
Where the boundaries are blurred
Light's falling from the sky
Bringing hope around
Stuck in this vortex of uncertainty
My life is fading away

(No!!!)
I won't let this to destroy me!
(Ahh!!)
A spark of light is born to fly!
(Go!!)
An Inner force starts to emerge!
(Uhh!!)
This light's so bright, it makes me strong!

Nothing's enough
To stop this madness
It runs inside
My veins!

Rising up from the ashes
I won't decay!
I will fight till' I melt with the sun!!
Now i feel indestructible
I had enough
I won't accept this fate
A vast expanse of the consciousness It's guiding me through the light
I will let my spirit soar
Until I reach the clouds!!
I'm flying high!
Like a phoenix to the sky
So high!
I'm unstoppable!

Diving into the sun
Keeps this flame burning
Diving into the light (This spark cannot be extinguished!)
Diving into this life
Fearless, fly away!
Nothing's enough to turn off (Your light!!)

Some days I feel like run away, run away
Some days I feel the spark in me (burning)
Never mind and keep on going
Breathe and reflect!

How deep is this feeling
Will someone save me?

In the hidden depths of my core
A mystery unfolds, a realm yet untold!
A dark silhouette begins to form
An evil entity lives beneath my skin!

Within my soul, fear's now bond!

Let shadows and light melt and combine!
A symphony of contrast so divine.. (They intertwine)
Immerse together as one
The brightness that guides you is not enough
You might need your dark side to be whole! (Yin-yang aligned)
Awakening begins!

No longer afraid of darkness
Sinking in a sea of shadows!

For far too long, I've been afraid
But now it's time to embrace this darkness
The night becomes my source of strength
Now I stand with blackness as my ally!
I've finally found a balance!

Let shadows and light melt and combine!
A symphony of contrast so divine.. (They intertwine)
Immerse together as one
The brightness that guides you is not enough
You might need your dark side to be whole! (Yin-yang aligned)
Awakening begins!

Retrieve...
Regain...
Control...
Now!

No longer afraid of darkness!
Sinking in a sea of shadows!

Let shadows and light melt and combine!
A symphony of contrast so divine.. (They intertwine)
Immerse together as one
The brightness that guides you is not enough
You might need your dark side to be whole! (Yin-yang aligned)
Awakenings begins!

Shadows were sown

In life
We all encounter challenging moments
That test our endurance and character
How we navigate these hard times
Can lead to a profound awakening

Silence is tough sometimes
My mind is overwhelmed
I've lost the will to live
My heart turns grey!

In this desolation I can't control my thoughts
Sorrow comes in waves!
I am rotting, infested by this gloom but
The awakening is coming!

Shattered dreams
It is that feeling when you’re running out of time
My mind’s imprisoned with no hope
I've lost my faith in this cruel world!

Looking to find my way
(And calling for help)
But silence still prevails!
(Haunted by this nightmare again!)
I'm begging!

The sky is falling and the rain has turned red
(Bleeding)
I’m suffocating in this vast unconsciousness

In this desolation I can't control my thoughts
Sorrow comes in waves!
I am rotting infested by this gloom but
The awakening is coming!

Shattered dreams
It is that feeling when you’re running out of time
My mind’s imprisoned with no hope
I've lost my faith in this cruel world!

Falling into the void
(Sinking into)
This darkened existence!
(Screaming to the abyss again!)
I'm struggling!

Uhh

With fractured thoughts and wordless cries
There's no salvation and my hands are tied
This is way more than I can
Take!

A cracked reality
Is all that I perceive I'm running out of time
My mind’s imprisoned with no hope
I've lost my faith in this cruel
World!

The weight on my shoulders it's dragging me down
The echoes of silence are killing me slowly !!

I can't stand this torment no more (can't stand this distress)
Will I ever escape this hell?
I wonder if I have the guts (still have the courage)
To overcome this state of mind!
I'm choking
I'm drowning
I am living on the edge of collapse
All I wish is to find
Peace !

In this desolation I can't control my thoughts
Sorrow comes in waves!
I am rotting, infested by this gloom but
The awakening is coming!

Shattered dreams
It is that feeling when you’re running out of time
My mind’s imprisoned with no hope
I've lost my faith in this cruel
World!

In this splintered matrix there's no guiding light
The awakening is coming
In this dark Existence!

Ahh
Ahh

“Let shadows and light melt and combine!
A symphony of contrast so divine.. (They intertwine)”
