Silhouette
Alruna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl I'm losing my mind yeah
Silhouette got a nice shine but this time it's way too bright yeah
Grab all your secrets and put em up in the front of the limelight
Said you really want a piece of my time
Said you really wanna eat at my life
Now it's burnt into my eyes wish that I was blind
Say what's on my head and you be crying on my chest
But I don't wanna be a liar

Something is telling me we should just give it a rest
But I don't wanna be light years away from you
Cos I remember all the times that I prayed for you and I
Hoping that we would just make it through the night
Now I'm looking for a better view to find
If the stars aligned
What else could you possibly have me for
Got no more flaws
I seem to remember everything that happened before
You told me it's something that I should just go and ignore
I can't help but think that there's something behind all your doors
That I am tryna explore
You holding grudges on me from when I didn't think
And I'm not tryna get any more sympathy but I thought it was history
Cos the past me is the past me
You just keep on looking for reasons to get mad at me
Now I know I can't help how you feel
Maybe we should come into the middle make a deal
But we can never handle getting real with each other
Chop chop straight at the neck for one another
Fuck up, into the bed with someone other
No you ain't afraid to leave the mess up on the covers
Oh I tried for you
Man for a second I thought I would die for you
I'm so reminiscent of a nuisance
And I don't even know why I do this
Girl I'm losing my mind yeah
Silhouette got a nice shine but this time it's way too bright yeah
Grab all your secrets and put em up in the front of the limelight
Said you really want a piece of my time
Said you really wanna eat at my life
Now it's burnt into my eyes wish that I was blind
Say what's on my head and you be crying on my chest
But I don't wanna be a liar
Something is telling me we should just give it a rest
But I don't wanna be light years away from you
Cos I remember all the times that I prayed for you and I
Hoping that we would just make it through the night

Now I'm looking for a better view to find
If the stars aligned
