Silently
Axel Flóvent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me again
Is this everything
When everything stops
She forgets your name

Trying to hard
Fakes the confidence
Kissing my mind
But still holding back

My stubborn ghost
You should have let me know
Everything
My heart is weak
And I'm falling down with you

How can I trust your love
When I don't trust your mind
It's the sorrow we share
It's the grief that we compare

Obvious signs
From a distant love
Stuck in my mind
I'm still holding back

My stubborn ghost
You should have let me know
Everything
My head is weak
And I'm falling down with you

You took the time
To cross some lines
Your distant game

While the silence leads
The sorrow doesn't end




So turn the page
So I can go my way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Axel Flovent's song Silently explore the confusion and pain that comes with a faltering relationship. The opening lines of the song pose a question - "Tell me again, is this everything?" - which suggests the singer is unsure of the current state of their relationship. They are seeking reassurance that what they have is enough, but the next line - "When everything stops, she forgets your name" - implies that perhaps the relationship has already started to fade.


The second verse delves further into the singer's feelings of mistrust towards their partner. They describe their partner as "Trying too hard" and "faking confidence", which suggests that their partner is not being genuine with them. The singer feels like their mind and heart are not being synchronised, which is causing them to question the sincerity of their love. The chorus repeats the sentiment of feeling weak and falling down due to their partner's lack of transparency.


In the final verse, the singer appears to have made a decision to end the relationship. They have decided to "go their way" and turn the page on this chapter of their life. The melancholic tone of the song lingers on in the closing words, indicating that the sorrow and grief associated with the relationship still persists.
