This song describes the hardships of a relationship. The song reveals to make someone "happier" might involve stepping away. It is about letting go of things you don't want to let go. In the music video, a girl is having to let go of her dog that has been with her for so long and now is being put down .

How the songs alike and different?
Both songs talk about relationships and share a depressing feeling towards it.
Comparison
One difference is that Silence talks about wanting to get a relationship and Happier is about losing one.
Silence is better!
Which is better?
I personally think that Silence is a better song because it doesn't have such a heartbroken feeling to it compared to Happier. Happier is also a song that gets overplayed on the radio many times.
