Silver
Hearts Of Black Science Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You break away
And you fall down
Spin around
Crash into the ground

Black winter night
Colored in blue
Silver moonlight

On the edge of morning sunshine

You walk with me
Killing your dream
The wind is blowing
In our faces

Cut your hands off
And touch your hair
Bite the bullet
If it hurts

I walk towards
A future

That doesn’t hold
Nothing for me

The second verse has a sense of urgency, with the wind blowing in the faces of the singer and their companion. The lines "Cut your hands off / And touch your hair / Bite the bullet / If it hurts" have a violent undertone, potentially pointing to a self-destructive tendency in the singer. The final lines suggest a resignation or nihilism regarding the future, with the singer walking towards something they know will bring them nothing.

Overall, the lyrics of "Silver" are evocative and full of symbolic imagery. The song seems to grapple with themes of loss, despair, and self-destruction, as well as a sense of defeat when it comes to the future. The song leaves a lot of room for interpretation, with the meaning of the lyrics largely dependent on the listener's own experiences and emotions.

Line by Line Meaning

You break away
You separate yourself

And you fall down
And it leads to your downfall

Spin around
You're disoriented

Crash into the ground
You hit rock bottom

Black winter night
The winter is bleak

Colored in blue
You're feeling sad

Silver moonlight
The moon is shining brightly

On the edge of morning sunshine
Dawn is near

You walk with me
We are walking together

Killing your dream
You are giving up on your hopes

The wind is blowing
It's windy
