Silhouette
Beauty's Confusion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cowering
In the corner
Of this room
Unnerved
Reserved
Deserving
This solitude
Tasting
Rejection
Once again
Trying
To stop crying
I knew
It would end
I don't want to try anymore
To be noticed
If it all ends the same way
Why even bother trying
You're the last one who will hurt me
I won't forget
I'll disappear into the background
I'll become a silhouette
Giving up and giving in
Is there any other way
Losing hope
Losing you
I'll lose it all someday
Someday, someday
Maybe this is not so bad
Being alone
Staring at the walls for hours
Disconnect the telephone
But you don't cross my mind at all
I'm alright
Inscribe these words into my head
Every night
What a lie
Giving up and giving in
Is there any other way
Losing hope, losing you
I'll lose it all someday
I can't explain it to you
My heart is open like a book
Why won't you take a look
I feel like a fool
A shadow in the midst
Which you won't even miss
I don't want to try anymore to be seen
I'm invisible anyway
I'm nobody's dream
You're the last one who will kiss me
I can't forget
I've disappeared into the distance
I've become a silhouette
I've disappeared
Into the distance
I've disappeared
Into the distance
I've disappeared
The Beauty's Confusion's song Silhouette talks about someone who is constantly rejected and hurt by the people around them, leading to a feeling of solitude and disconnection from the world. The first stanza describes the person covering and cowering in the corner of the room, feeling unnerved and reserved, tasting rejection once again, and trying to stop crying, knowing that it will all end the same way. The person questions the point of trying anymore to be noticed if it always ends the same way and decides to become a silhouette, disappearing into the background.
The second stanza talks about giving up and giving in being the only option left, losing hope and losing the person they love, and feeling like they will lose it all someday. The person finds comfort in being alone, disconnects the phone, and writes inscriptions into their head every night as a form of self-soothing. They express their frustration about not being able to explain their feelings to the person they love, feeling like a fool and a shadow that won't even be missed.
In the last stanza, the person decides not to try anymore to be seen and becomes invisible anyway. They realize that the person who hurt them will be the last one who will kiss them, and they disappear into the distance, becoming a silhouette, and disappearing from the life of the person they love.

Inscribe these words into my head
Committing to memory
Every night
Repeatedly and consistently
What a lie
I'm not actually okay
My heart is open like a book
My emotions are on display and easily read
Why won't you take a look
Why won't you acknowledge my feelings
I feel like a fool
I'm embarrassed and ashamed
A shadow in the midst
Insignificant and unnoticed
Which you won't even miss
I won't be missed when I'm gone
I'm invisible anyway
No one pays attention to me
I'm nobody's dream
I'm not what anyone desires or aspires to be
You're the last one who will kiss me
You're the final person I will share intimacy with
I can't forget
I'm unable to let go of the past
I've disappeared into the distance
I've drifted farther away from who I used to be
I've become a silhouette
I'm now a vague, faint outline of my former self
I've disappeared
I've completely vanished
Into the distance
Out of sight and out of mind

@Stephanie Jones yess, I recently found them in spotify while I was listening to another band called Etro Anime. Sadly I couldn't listen to more like these songs. Do you have another recommendation?
