Why don't you fill up?
There's no sense in holding
Onto something broken
Did you lose something?
Or someone you love?
You've still got that story
Tell it every morning
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's stolen
All the lovely memories you heart's been holdin'
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's hidden
All the faithful memories, your faith for living
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
So come on
Nothin' is perfect
For that there's no cure
So don't you start to bury
The good with the bad and the ugly
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's stolen
All the lovely memories you heart's been holdin'
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's hidden
All the faithful memories, your faith for living
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
So come on
And I can feel your heartbeat slipping away
It's hard to catch the light
When you're running from the day
So wait for it, wait for it, wait
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's stolen
All the lovely memories you heart's been holdin'
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's hidden
All the faithful memories, your faith for living
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
So come on
In Colony House's song Silhouettes, the artist encourages the listener to let go of something that may be troubling them and to remember the good times they have had. The song starts with the artist asking if the listener feels unfulfilled and suggests they take action to fill up their life. He then goes on to ask if they have lost someone or something they love and encourages them to share their story each day. The lyrics suggest that even in tough times, it is important to remember the happy memories.
The chorus refers to driving down a road, which seems to symbolize moving forward in life. The artist emphasizes that memories and experiences do not take shape or become clear until one is open to experiencing the present, represented by the "lights coming on." He then reminds the listener that it is important to acknowledge both the good and the bad in life, and not to bury the good along with the bad and the ugly.
In the final verse, the artist speaks directly to the listener, urging them not to let their struggles consume them and to wait for the good things in life to come. The song ultimately emphasizes the importance of letting go, focusing on positive memories, and being present in the moment.
Line by Line Meaning
Are you half empty?
Do you feel like you're lacking something?
Why don't you fill up?
Why don't you try to find what you're missing?
There's no sense in holding
It's pointless to keep on to something
Onto something broken
That is no longer useful or functional
Did you lose something?
Did you misplace something important?
Or someone you love?
Did you lose someone you loved?
You've still got that story
You still have the memories of what you lost
Tell it every morning
Share your story and let it go
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's stolen
Going on a path that's not really yours
All the lovely memories you heart's been holdin'
The nostalgic feeling that's keeping you going
Nothing silhouettes 'til the lights come on
You won't see anything until you confront it
Drivin' down a road, down a road that's hidden
Traveling on an unknown path
All the faithful memories, your faith for living
Your memories are the reason you keep on going
So come on
Take action and face your fears
Nothin' is perfect
Nothing in life is flawless
For that there's no cure
There's nothing you can do to change that
So don't you start to bury
Don't let the bad things overshadow the good
The good with the bad and the ugly
Embrace everything that life has to offer
And I can feel your heartbeat slipping away
I can sense that you're losing hope
It's hard to catch the light
It's difficult to find hope when you're struggling
When you're running from the day
When you're avoiding your problems
So wait for it, wait for it, wait
Be patient and don't give up

Are you half empty?
Why don't you fill up?
There's no sense in holding onto something broken,
Did you lose something?
Or someone you love?
You've still got that story tell it every morning,
Driving down a road, down a road that's rolling
All the lovely memories you hearts been holding
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Driving down a road, a road that's hidden,
All your faithful memories, your faith for living
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
So come on!
Nothing is perfect,
For that there's no cure,
So don't you start to bury the good with the bad, and the ugly,
Driving down a road, down a road that's rollin'
All the lovely memories you hearts been holding
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Driving down a road, a road that's hidden,
All your faithful memories, your faith for living
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
So come on!
And I can feel your heartbeat slipping away
It's hard to catch the light when you're running from the day!
So wait for it! Wait for it! Wait!
Driving down a road, down a road that's rolling
All the lovely memories you hearts been holding
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Driving down a road, a road that's hidden,
All your faithful memories, your faith for living
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
Nothing silhouettes till the lights come on,
So come on!

God can't you see, can't you see?
Your children at your feet.
God, can't you hear, can't you hear?
Our cries for you to come.
Silent you seem, while we wait
in the darkness of our past,
but silent your not, find our heart,
find us comfort, find us fast
We will wait, We will wait God
We will wait, We will wait God
We wait...
And with this weight on our chest
we gather up the breath to sing this song,
but as one we confess
we do no have the strenth to carry on
So wait, though we wait, we rejoice
in the suffering we all share;
For these stones are thrown upon us
cause they're stones our Father promised we would bear
mmmmmmmmmm
We will wait, when the fires burning bright
We will wait, when it withers in the night
We will wait, when we rise and when we fall
We will wait, God.
We will wait, through every season of the soul
We will wait, on mountain tops and valleys low
We will wait, for you to come restore the old
We will wait, God
Come let your light shine down
Come Abba father, come let your light shine down
We sing,
Come Abba father, come let your light shine down
We sing,
Come Abba father, come let your light shind down
We sing,
Come Abba father, come let your light shind down
We will wait, when our fires burning bright
We will wait, when it withers in the night
We will wait, when we rise and when we fall
We will wait, God.
We will wait, through every season of the soul
We will wait, on mountain tops and valleys low
We will wait,
We will wait, God
Come Abba father, come let your light shine down
We sing,
Come Abba father, come let your light shine down :/

It's actually kind of funny how I discovered Colony House. I was at my root canal appointment, (which I was not looking forward to at all!) and the nurse lady, or assistant asked if I wanted a magazine, and of course I said yes. So as I was flipping through the pages, and I seen the heading "Awesome band, with awesome tunes!" so I was like "oh okay, i'll look into them when I get home". So I did and now i'm forever thankful for that root canal appointment. I have a tooth that no longer hurts AND I have a new favorite band. My fave's by them is "Silhouettes"and "Keep on Keeping on".
@toutoulove8
Lol, same here I found out about them in a magazine in September, they're one of the most underrated bands. They deserve better
@HeintjeMendoza

@jansenmorby46
Ofeina Akau Are you Samoan?
@wwcwcp09
What is this song about because it sounds like a song opened to interpretation.
@jansenmorby46
This song's about love and compassion towards world peace.
@858miles
This song will forever feel like;
Running down my street barefoot
Driving into the sunset on the highway with the windows down
Singing as loud as I can in the shower
Hugging people I love
Thinking of all the memories the good and the bad
Learning and loving every day I wake up and every night I close my eyes to go to sleep
@korneliamckenziemusic1126
So ridiculously underrated!
@hannahl3456
sad but true
@stealy3992
NelliBean but aren't most indie bands underrated?
