Silhouette
April Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I want to do is sing for you
And all I want to be is your siren
I feel it in my bones shaking so hard
Palms are sweaty
This is everything

So raise your lighters in the air
And please sing along with me
Sway with me from side to side
Raise your glasses high

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Spotlight heating all on my skin
I pray it doesn′t burn my body whole
All I hear is the sound of the crowd
All I hear is my heart beating loud

So raise your lighters in the air
So all of the skies can see
Dance with me all night
Let me feel your high

Cause in the middle of this song I'll open up my eyes
I′ll make all the flashing lights look like fireflies
I'll make each and every one of you
I'll make each and every one of you
Into constellations, constellations
I′ll make each and everyone of you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh

Cause in the middle of this song I′ll open up my eyes
I'll make all the flashing lights look like fireflies
I′ll make each and every one of you
I'll make each and every one of you
Into constellations, constellations
I′ll make each and everyone of you





Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh

Everything you said in db - my bestie, my twin - I’m so grateful for having you in my life, you’re really the person I can go to with anything. Your endless support means more to me than you’ll ever know. Our friendship is so so important to me♥️

And their angst is so heartbreaking and painful and amazing and the way you put it all together with THIS SONG I’m- I really have no words. This is beyond beautiful.
