Mentissa, the sparkling Belgian singer-songwriter, invites us into the hush behind the hustle in Le Bruit du Silence ("The Sound of Silence"). The lyrics read like a late-night chat with a close friend: she wonders how we cope with our quirks, mirrors, and the judging eyes around us. Beneath the upbeat groove, she admits to hiding tears, forcing laughter, and fighting those talkative "monsters" of self-doubt that keep her awake. All she longs for is a quiet inner space where she can finally turn down the mental volume.
In the second half of the song she flips the script, boldly saying goodbye to doubts, comparisons, and the exhausting you shoulds. By chasing away every noisy thought, she discovers only gentle whispers in her own voice and realizes the monsters were never real. The chorus becomes an anthem of self-acceptance: when life spins too fast, the truest music is the noise of silence—a calm confidence that lets you believe in yourself again.
