"I won't live unspoken" here means "I won't live without expressing my thoughts and ideas". Because this is a song, "unspoken" here is used in an unusual way, and it can be interpreted different ways as well. In general, "unspoken" refers to something that has not been said, but is still understood. It is used occasionally. Ex: Although it is unspoken, I can tell she loves me because she treats me well.
