Discover the story of the song > Too Shy To Scream – Afi

In these lyrics, the protagonist feels unseen and unnoticed by others. She wonders if people even talk about her or notice her presence. She feels like her voice is gone and no one will hear her. She wishes that someone would stop and pay attention to her, and maybe even break her heart. She feels like she is always everywhere except in the place where the person she loves is. She warns them to leave before they are seen with her. She hopes that this person will meet her gaze, pause, and maybe even break her heart. She wonders if they will ever stop to notice her and acknowledge her existence.
