"Speechless" is a song in the 2019 live-action remake, Aladdin. It is a solo sung by Jasmine, expressing how tired she is about being locked away in the palace and/or being silenced by Jafar or the Sultan and is finally ready to take a stand.
Lyrics[]
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away.
A tide that is taking me under.
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say.
My voice drowned out in the thunder.
But I can't cry and I can't start to crumble
Whenever they try to shut me or cut me down.
I can't stay silent,
Though they wanna keep me quiet.
And I tremble when I try it.
All I know...
Is I won't...
Go speechless.
Written in stone,
Every rule, every word,
Centuries old and unbending.
"Stay in your place."
"Better seen and not heard."
Well, now that story is ending.
'Cause I, I cannot start to crumble!
So come on and try,
Try to shut me and cut me down!
I won't be silenced!
You can't keep me quiet!
Won't tremble when you try it!
All I know is I won't go speechless!
Speechless!
Let the storm in!
I cannot be broken!
No, I won't live unspoken!
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless!
Try to lock me in this cage!
I won't just lay me down and die!
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky!
Hear the echo saying I...
Won't be silenced!
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it!
All I know is I won't go speechless!
Speechless!
'Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me!
Don't you underestimate me!
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless!
All I know is I won't go speechless!
Speechless!
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away.
A tide that is taking me under.
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say.
My voice drowned out in the thunder.
But I won't cry and I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try to shut me or cut me down.
I won't be silenced!
You can't keep me quiet!
Won't tremble when you try it!
All I know is I won't go speechless!
'Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me!
Don't you underestimate me!
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless!
Written in stone,
Every rule, every word,
Centuries old and unbending.
"Stay in your place."
"Better seen and not heard."
Well, now that story is ending.
Cause I, I cannot start to crumble!
So come on and try,
Try to shut me and cut me down!
I won't be silenced!
You can't keep me quiet!
Won't tremble when you try it!
All I know is I won't go speechless!
Speechless!
Let the storm in!
I cannot be broken!
No, I won't live unspoken!
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless!
Try to lock me in this cage!
I won't just lay me down and die!
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky!
Hear the echo saying I...
Won't be silenced!
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it,
All I know is I won't go speechless!
Speechless!
'Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me!
Don't you underestimate me!
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless!
All I know is I won't go speechless!
Speechless!
