Silver Water
Darren Styles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see things that seem to disappear
When other people look with there eyes
Shadows and visions that come so near
But everyone else just calls them lies

Now I'm sailing even higher
To the fortress that I been land
Lightning strikes a silver water
And fire lights above my head

Now I'm sailing even higher

To the fortress that I been land
Lightning strikes a silver water
And fire lights above my head

I'm looking at pictures of things that fade away
Were they really there at all?




You speak to me so I can hear just what you say
Everytime I hear you call

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Darren Styles's song Silver Water seem to describe the experiences of an individual who can see things that others cannot. The song hints at the notion that this person has a heightened awareness of their surroundings that allows them to perceive things that the average person might miss. He mentions shadows and visions that come so near but everyone else just calls them lies. The singer seems to suggest that he has a connection to a world that others can't see or understand.


The chorus of the song describes the singer's journey. He is sailing higher to a fortress that he has been told about. Lightning strikes silver water and fire lights above his head, creating a surreal atmosphere. The chorus repeats the lines, suggesting an ongoing journey that the singer is on. The bridge of the song seems to indicate that the singer is questioning his own perceptions. He wonders if the pictures of things that fade away were really there at all. However, the singer's stance is somewhat paradoxical. On the one hand, he is questioning the validity of his own perceptions, but on the other hand, he claims to hear what others cannot.


Overall, the lyrics of Silver Water are somewhat enigmatic, and can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. One interpretation of the song could be that it speaks to the idea of the "other", and how some individuals are more attuned to the world around them. Another interpretation could be that the song is about the search for truth and meaning in the world, and how the journey towards these goals can sometimes seem confusing and contradictory.

However, when others look with their own eyes


Shadows and visions that come so near
I observe shadows and visions that come so closely
