In a world that often mistakes volume for conviction and explanation for authenticity, there is a profound strength in stillness. Bodhi Bowl’s “Quiet Enough” is a soft rock anthem for the introspective soul—a gentle, yet resolute, declaration of self-possession.
This song isn’t a shout; it’s a settled sigh of understanding. It speaks to the exhaustion of over-explaining, the peace found in releasing the need to be universally understood, and the quiet confidence that blooms when we stop bending our truth to fit others’ perceptions. With its reflective verses and affirming chorus, “Quiet Enough” offers a melodic sanctuary—a reminder that clarity often resides in calm, and that knowing oneself deeply is a validation that needs no external echo.
Let this be a moment to turn down the noise and honor the quiet within. This is “Quiet Enough.”
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I’m tired of proving I belong
Of clearing doubts that aren’t my own
Every word I bend and shape
Just so no one feels the wrong way
(Pre-Chorus)
Always explaining every tone
Like silence means I’m made of stone
Is it care or is it fear
Of being seen but not too clear?
(Chorus)
I’m quiet enough,
to know who I am
I don’t need echoes to understand
No malice hiding in my heart
No shadow living in my calm
I don’t need judgment to feel secure
I’ve made my peace, I know my core
I’m quiet enough — and that’s okay
I know the truth, I never meant harm anyway
(Verse 2)
I used to fill the empty space
With reasons written on my face
Now I let the moment breathe
I don’t chase what people believe
Some things shine when left unsaid
Not every thought needs to be read
If they don’t see, that’s not on me
I’m finally letting myself be
(Pre-Chorus)
Less defending, less disguise
More trust in what I feel inside
I don’t owe the world my pain
Or explanations on demand
(Chorus)
I’m quiet enough to know who I am
I don’t need echoes to understand
No malice hiding in my heart
No shadow living in my calm
I don’t need judgment to feel secure
I’ve made my peace, I know my core
I’m quiet enough — and that’s okay
I know the truth, I never meant harm anyway
(Bridge)
Let them talk… let them guess
I don’t carry that weight — no less
What’s real in me don’t fade or bend
I don’t need approval to defend
There’s a stillness I protect
A gentle strength I won’t neglect
I recognize myself at last
No more mirrors from the past
(Final Chorus)
I’m quiet enough to stand my ground
Without explaining every sound
No bitterness, no hidden flame
Just a heart that knows its name
I don’t need others to agree
I’ve already made peace with me
I’m quiet enough — I understand
I know the truth
I never meant harm
(Outro)
Sometimes silence
Says it best
