Speechless (Part 2) Lyrics
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending
[Pre-Chorus: JASMINE]
'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down
[Chorus: JASMINE]
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
[Bridge: JASMINE]
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
And it echoes saying–
I won't be silenced
No you will not 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
About
“Speechless (Part 2)” is an entirely new song written by the song-writers of the 2019 live-action remake, and is not present in the original movie and all other adaptations of Aladdin.
Speechless (Part 2) is the second part of Jasmine’s letimotif, being the full version of the song, unlike her first part, which is only half of it.
This is because her anger and frustration is elevated, leading her to finally take action against the people that want her to keep quiet.
The specific instance where this happens is when Jafar gets control of the lamp and wishes to becoming the sultan of Agrabah. The soldiers obey under the genie’s power, and Jasmine’s dad, the sultan, is now weak and powerless. Jasmine is taken away, but she sings this song in anger, causing her to sway the guards, specifically guard captain Hakim, to attack and understand once again who their true sultan is.
