Silver Lights
In Her Own Words Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I glued my phone to the table in the other room so
I would never be able to fuck with your head again,
but I still miss your bed.
I know I said I'd never let my peace of mind out of my head,
but it snuck out like we used to on Friday nights.
I know it's hard to understand what I've been going through.
But I've been making progress in moving passed this.
Trying not to think about the things that we did,
and the way your eyes looked at night before we went to bed.
Now you've got 3 missed calls.
There's so much I could say.
We both roam different paths with 3 state lines in the way.
When you walk to class,
does the wind burn your face?
Does it mess up your hair?
15 hours on a train,
and you were home a couple days.
Now you wait for a call to ignore.
But I hope you know I avoid the streets
that used to lead my feet to your front door.
I hope you're making progress in moving passed this.
Try not to forget all the things that we did.
But we both know
that our time together has come to an end.
And even though it hurts, we have to let go and move on.
The lyrics of In Her Own Words's song Silver Lights capture the pain and confusion that often comes with the end of a relationship. The singer acknowledges the hurt and damage he has caused and takes steps to try and prevent himself from repeating those mistakes. However, he also admits that he still longs for the physical intimacy and comfort of being in his former partner's bed, even as he tries to move past their relationship.
The singer also acknowledges that the distance between them makes it difficult to stay in touch and maintain a connection. He wonders if his former partner still thinks about him, and whether the memories of their time together are as painful for her as they are for him. Despite the hurt and sadness, the singer recognizes that it's important for both of them to make progress in moving on and not dwell on what could have been.
Overall, Silver Lights is a poignant and introspective look at the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics are honest and raw, capturing the pain and confusion that often comes with the end of a significant connection.

You guys deserve every good thing coming your way. You've been around for so many years, the talent is off the charts, your old songs are criminally overlooked. Me and my friends never understood why you never blew up. I hope you achieve everything you want and fulfill your dreams!

I have always looked at them as a "big band" cause their production has always been solid af videos always been dope af but i just realized that they aren't as popular as I thought. Super underrated band
Friday Giants
All of us are obsessed with this record... it's unhealthy

It's so true. Back when all there was was Brand New Me I drove three hours to see y'all and I was the ONLY person who knew a word of any song. To me it was a momentous occasion. Like seeing one of the top bands in the scene, because of how much you stood out even then. That said, It's been exciting to see the direction you've gone and I've loved everything y'all have released. Amazing stuff that continues to be a huge influence.

That means everything to us. Thank you!
