Silver Rope
Aythis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These lights
I starred all night
It felt like a thousand years
Another star
Spinning away
A virgin sky
Just me and fire
giving me some warmth

Distant lights



mesmerize my senses
The lifeless below
Is all that matters now
Dark Blue
Shapes
Is all that remains

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aythis's song Silver Rope are thought-provoking and reflective, touching on the themes of the vastness of the universe and the beauty of solitude. The opening lines describe the experience of watching the stars at night, with the singer feeling as though they had been gazing up for a thousand years. The use of the word 'starred' suggests that the singer is actively staring at the stars, rather than simply glancing at them, which emphasizes the intensity of the experience. The subsequent line about another star spinning away reinforces the sense of vastness and distance implied by the opening line. The image of a virgin sky creates a sense of purity and untouched beauty, and the use of fire as a source of warmth is a reminder of the contrast between the cold vastness of the universe and the small warmth of human experience.


The second stanza shifts focus slightly, as the singer becomes hypnotized by distant lights and the emptiness of the world below. The use of the word 'lifeless' suggests a sense of loss or melancholy, but the line 'is all that matters now' implies acceptance of this emptiness. The repetition of 'dark blue' creates a sense of stillness and calm, and the reference to 'shapes' suggests that even in emptiness, there is still form and structure.


Overall, the lyrics of Silver Rope conjure up a sense of both awe at the beauty of the universe and acceptance of the smallness of human existence.
