about

'Silhouette’ is a deep look into yourself, and not really knowing what you see. We can recognise our past self, but we don’t really know that person anymore and we don’t understand what it is that’s changed. The heart of the song is about the realisation that we all change as people, but it questions if it’s us changing ourselves, or if it’s the effect of the world around us. The song is melancholic at times but the acceptance in the lyrics, ‘you can’t change who you are, it’s the change around you’ show that sometimes, we just have to accept our fate and roll with it.

lyrics

I saw this silhouette of a man
a man I thought I knew
In a world, all the same
There’s a devil on my shoulder
And he's telling me everything

All I see now is this, quiet spark,
And their voices talk more on these days, stick around and you’ll see all the doubt,
I just need you to stop

Don’t you know,
This voice, it won’t talk
Say to me,
This life, it’s the dream

I’m living side by side with a man,
A man that i don't like,
In a world, all the same
He’s a villain in my own mind,
And he’s ruining everything.

All I see now is this, quiet spark,
And their voices talk more on these days, stick around and you’ll see all the doubt,
I just need you to stop

Don’t you know,
This voice, it won’t talk
Say to me,
This life, it’s the dream

You can’t change who you are,
It’s the change around you,
Stop and look at yourself,
Time won’t wait, not ever

I saw this silhouette of a man
a man I thought I knew
In a world, all the same
There’s a devil on my shoulder
And he's telling me everything
