CILVER challenges the rock n’ roll status quo as smartly, ably and swiftly as like minded mega-sellers and radio tastemakers Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless and Lacuna Coil. They do so with a unique artistic voice, on their terms, with battle scars to show for it.
“We definitely have something to say. We carry a strong message, which comes from the experiences we’ve had, especially the things I’ve been through personally,” says singer Uliana Preotu. “Our lyrics are loaded with more than the average rock song.”

Cilver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was a time I'd die for you.
Now, I just wanna play with you.
Momma says " 'lana don't"
'Cause you're making my moves.
Truth is you're not,
Momma says " 'lana don't"
but I come for you, you, you.
Like a razor blade cutting through your veins
Just call my name but you won't ever.
'Cause I like my pain with a little shame.
I tied you up and walked away.
Like a razor blade cutting through your face.
Just call my name but you won't ever.
Like a razor blade, blade, blade.
Like a razor blade, blade, blade.
You are the best I've ever had.
I'm gonna make my momma mad.
Momma says " 'lana don't"
'Cause you're making my moves.
Truth is you're not,
You're my little bed post.
Momma says " 'lana don't"
but I come for you, you, you.
Like a razor blade cutting through your veins
Just call my name but you won't ever.
'Cause I like my pain with a little shame.
I tied you up and walked away.
Like a razor blade cutting through your face.
Just call my name but you won't ever.
Like a razor blade, blade, blade.
Like a razor blade, blade, blade.
(Blade)
Like a razor, razor.
Like a razor, razor.
Like a razor, razor.
Like a razor, razor.
Like a razor blade cutting through your face
Just call my name but you won't ever.
'Cause I like my pain with a little shame.
I tied you up and walked away.
Like a razor blade cutting through your face.
Just call my name but you won't ever.
Like a razor blade, blade, blade.
Like a razor blade, blade, blade.
The song "Razor Blade" by Cilver is a complicated song full of intense lyrics, with a theme of pain and domination. The lyrics portray a tale of a woman who is trapped in a toxic relationship with someone she both loves and loathes. The opening line "there was a time I'd die for you, now I just wanna play with you" shows that the relationship has shifted from a deep love to a twisted game of dominance. The woman's mother is against the relationship, but it only makes her more attracted to her partner. The lyrics suggest that this person is essentially a tool for her sexual expression as the repeated line "you're my little bed post" suggests.
The chorus "like a razor blade cutting through your veins, just call my name but you won't ever, ‘cause I like my pain with a little shame" is a metaphor for the struggle in the toxic relationship. The razor blade represents pain and the sharpness of it, with the repeated use of the phrase "blade." The lyrics portray the woman's feelings of being trapped and dominated in a way that she enjoys, even though it causes her pain. The chorus also suggests that even though she may want to reach out to escape, she would not be able to do so because of the pleasure she derives from the pain, making it impossible for her to break free.
