Silver Sun
Crystal Stilts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just could not keep her from loving the silver sun
Her figure disappeared in white, dissolved into the light
Before I could even say goodbye her body became the sky, became the sky
I just could not keep her from loving the silver sun
Just could not keep her from loving the silver sun
Swept into the cast of a past December
I lost my maiden when the snow came on
I just could not keep her from loving the silver sun
Her figure disappeared in white, dissolved into the light
Her figure disappeared in white, dissolved into the light
Swept into the cast of a past December
The last thing I remember is us revolving
The lyrics of "Silver Sun" by Crystal Stilts tells a story of lost love where the singer is reminiscing about a time when he lost his maiden. The snow has just come on, and he couldn't stop her from loving the silver sun. Her figure disappears into the blinding light, and before he could even say goodbye, her body becomes the sky. The singer couldn't keep her from loving the sun no matter how hard he tried. The use of imagery is strong in these lyrics as the silver sun represents something powerful and overwhelming that the maiden could not resist. The singer becomes consumed by this loss as he repeats the same line twice to emphasize his powerlessness.
The second verse talks about how the singer is stuck in the past, specifically a past December. The line "The last thing I remember when you saw me" could refer to how the maiden saw him for the last time, and he couldn't do anything to stop her from leaving. The lines, once again, emphasize how powerless he was in this situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Silver Sun" by Crystal Stilts is a beautiful, melancholy song that speaks to the pain of lost love, the powerlessness that comes with it, and the feeling of being stuck in the past.
