Silvertigo
Bleak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The rhythm is taking me now
Now let me flow

My veins have cried for the days
That animate the ruin that I'd create
Once more to become
An illusion of my own
An illusion that you see
What's good is still too weak in me

Shouldn't you be already sleeping?
Shouldn't you be already leaving here?
Shouldn't you be already sleeping?

Outside my broken empty shell
I'm less than I can feel
It's more than I can tell
Denial becomes me

...Already sleeping
Shouldn't you be already leaving here?
Shouldn't you be already sleeping?
Shouldn't you be already...

All these words
Make no sense to me
No more my own
I need some help you see
To hear me now
To wake me up
Yeah to wake me up into the real

I don't worry
I don't worry
I don't worry

Shouldn't you be already sleeping?
Shouldn't you be already leaving here?
Shouldn't you be already sleeping?
Shouldn't you be already free?
Shouldn't you be already sleeping?





The rhythm is taking me now...

Overall Meaning

In "Silvertigo" by Bleak, the artist captures the feeling of being lost in one's own thoughts and emotions, disconnected from the world around them. The song opens with the singer yielding to the rhythm and letting their thoughts free flow. The lyrics then delve into the singer's inner turmoil, as they reflect on their past mistakes and the illusion of their own making. They lament their own weakness as they struggle to find the good in themselves. The idea of denial becomes a recurring theme, suggesting that the singer may be avoiding confronting the reality of their situation.


As the song progresses, the singer questions the actions of someone else, perhaps a friend or loved one, asking why they are still present when they should be sleeping or leaving. The singer is stuck in a state of emptiness, feeling less than what they truly are, and unable to open up to the world around them. They do not fully understand themselves, and the words they speak make no sense to them. They are crying out for help, asking for someone to hear them and wake them up from their own prison of thoughts and feelings.
