Silhouette
Drowned Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing there
Across the room
A silhouette spies
Cautiously

Standing there
Behind the door (Behind the bed)
A silhouette plans
Cautiously

Your eyes are full
Are full of terror

Your eyes are like
A nightmare

Your eyes are full
Are full of sadness

As if they were
Were lifeless





(As if they’re watching me!)
