Silver
Hundred Reasons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See you around as a friend
Eight days the same you'd bore me just leave it
We prefer lies after rain
She said leave it I can't leave it
Say what you wanted to ask me
While you were sitting down
Say what you wanted to ask me
You opened up now
Fake plastic smiles to play games
Please call my name ignore me and feel it
I thought that I had won gold
She said leave it I can't leave this
Say what you wanted to ask me
While you were sitting down
Say what you wanted to ask me
You opened up now
Take it or leave it
Say what you wanted to ask me
While you were sitting down
Say what you wanted to ask me




You opened up now
Take it or leave it

Overall Meaning

The song "Silver" by British rock band Hundred Reasons seems to be about a relationship that has gone sour. The opening line "see you around as a friend" implies that there was once a closer relationship that has now ended. The following line "eight days the same you'd bore me just leave it" suggests that the singer may have tried to revive the relationship but was met with repetition and boredom. The line "we prefer lies after rain" could mean that the couple preferred to pretend everything was okay after an argument or disagreement, rather than addressing the issues honestly.


The refrain "Say what you wanted to ask me while you were sitting down" is repeated throughout the song, perhaps signifying that there were unanswered questions or unsaid things during the course of the relationship. The lines "fake plastic smiles to play games, please call my name ignore me and feel it" suggest that the relationship may have been superficial, with one or both parties pretending to be happy or interested when in reality they were not. The final line "Take it or leave it" seems to be a way of ending the relationship, with the singer giving the ultimatum of either accepting things as they are or moving on.

Fake plastic smiles to play games
