Silhouette
AXYL & BVRNOUT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Intoxicating, making me fall into you
But I'm just words inside your lies
And every time I shut my eyes I see the truth
So I'll get drunk to forget you
Sleep it off so I won't
Call you up, say""I love you""
Close my heart so I don't
But hold on to hope
I know, I know
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
You're like a cigarette
Burning up in the dark
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
You've left a silhouette
Burning up in my heart
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh, ohh)
Push me away, true to design
I'm tracing over, under, always back to you
Love locked inside like it's a crime
These shattered moments, frozen, just a game I lose
So I'll get drunk to forget you
Sleep it off so I won't
Call you up, say""I love you""
Close my heart so I don't
I try, I say""I don't need you""
But I hold on to hope
I know, I know
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
You're like a cigarette
Burning up in the dark
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
You've left a silhouette
Burning up in my heart
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
(You've left a silhouette)
(You've left a silhouette)
The song “Silhouette” by AXYL & BVRNOUT tells a story of a person who is deeply in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way about them. The relationship is very intoxicating, like adding gasoline onto a fire, making the singer fall deeper into their love, but they know deep down that this person is just lying to them. The singer tries to forget this person through getting drunk and avoiding the urge to call them when they're sober but they still hold on to their love, even when they say they don't need this person in their life. The chorus likens this person to a cigarette burning in the dark, creating a silhouette that is left burning in the singer's heart.
The lyrics in the verse describe the push and pull of the relationship where the singer keeps going back to this person and their love is locked up like it's a crime. The shattered moments in the relationship are frozen and the singer feels like they're playing a game that they're losing. These emotional lyrics create a picture of someone who is struggling to let go of someone they love dearly but knows that they're better off without them.

Like gasoline onto a fire
You ignite me with your presence
Intoxicating, making me fall into you
You have a powerful hold on me
But I'm just words inside your lies
You deceive me with empty promises
And every time I shut my eyes I see the truth
I am aware of your true intentions
So I'll get drunk to forget you
I turn to alcohol to numb the pain of missing you
Sleep it off so I won't call you up, say "I love you"
I try to avoid contacting you when I'm vulnerable
Close my heart so I don't
I put up emotional walls to protect myself
I try, I say "I don't need you"
I convince myself that I can move on without you
But hold on to hope
Despite my efforts, I still have hope for us
You're like a cigarette
You're addictive and destructive
Burning up in the dark
You consume me when I'm at my weakest
You've left a silhouette
Your memory haunts me
Push me away, true to design
You distance yourself as expected
I'm tracing over, under, always back to you
I can't help but be drawn back to you
Love locked inside like it's a crime
My feelings for you are kept hidden and guarded
These shattered moments, frozen, just a game I lose
Our memories together are painful and unchangeable
(You've left a silhouette)
Your presence continues to linger
(You've left a silhouette)
I can't escape your impact on me
