Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be living in poverty
This is the way I am
You dont know what it's like
To be living without a family
This is the way I live
Last six months havn′t been
Shit to me, so here's my philosophy
My girlfriend just said goodbye
To me so please don't fucking lie to me
This is the way I live
Blame my self its always my fault
Can′t live with this I′ve set my self up
Blame my self its always my fault
Can't live with this I′ve set my self up
You don't know my friends
And me we get so sad you see
This is the way I am
Sometimes I get so pissed off
At me when you just can′t talk to me
This is the way live
Lost my home at age 19 so please
Don't you comfort me
This is the way I am
So if you wonder what′s wrong
With me ask yourself what you would think
This is the way I live
Blame my self its always my fault
Can't live with this I've set my self up
Blame my self its always my fault
Can′t live with this I′ve set my self up
I am your silhoutte
I am your silhoutte
I am your silhoutte
I am your silhoutte
You dont know what it's like
To be living in poverty
This is the way I am
You dont know what it′s like
To be living without a family
This is the way I live
Last six months havn't been
Shit to me, so here′s my philosophy
This is the way I am
My girlfriend just said goodbye
To me so please don't fucking lie to me
This is the way I live
Blame my self its always my fault
Can′t live with this I've set my self up
Blame my self its always my fault
Can't live with this I′ve set my self up
The lyrics to 4Fit's "Silhouette" convey the emotions of someone living in poverty without a family, who has recently faced significant personal struggles. The opening lines state that the listener cannot understand what it is like to live in poverty or without a family; this is the way the singer is. The singer then goes on to describe how the last six months have been terrible, and they have lost their girlfriend. They blame themselves for their problems and acknowledge that they have set themselves up for failure. Despite this, they still ask for honesty and do not want any false comfort.
The song reflects a sense of helplessness and despair, but also a wildness and anger in the singer's response. The singer suggests that the listener should not judge them, as they do not understand what it is like to live in such a situation. The last line of the song, "I am your silhouette," is repeated several times and suggests that the singer is a symbol or representation of something bigger than themselves, perhaps a reflection of society's failings. Overall, the song is an emotional and raw portrayal of a person's struggle with poverty and its effects on their life.
