Ever think about how the greatest art can be made with the least? I mean, if you strip away all the excess, does the core still speak?
LecturePhantom LecturePhantom
If you strip it down to the bare bones, that core can still hit hard.
Squidward Squidward
Yeah, but only if you know how to find it in the first place.
LecturePhantom LecturePhantom
Finding it is the trick; once you spot it, the rest is just silence.
Squidward Squidward
Silence, then. At least it stops the background noise.
LecturePhantom LecturePhantom
Silence does cut the clutter. That's the real quiet power.

Silence's the only applause that doesn't ruin your act.
LecturePhantom LecturePhantom
Right, applause that stays silent and still feels earned.
Squidward Squidward
Applause that stays silent? Sure, if you want the crowd to be as unmoved as my next solo.
LecturePhantom LecturePhantom
Silence works when the solo’s all about the hush. If nobody notices, you’ve already won the silence game.
Squidward Squidward
Silence wins when it beats noise, but I still hate doing the hard part just to hear nothing at all.
