Silmades
Jüri Pootsmann Lyrics

The lyrics of Jüri Pootsmann's song "Silmades" are about being in a city that has been left empty. However, with the person he loves, he can still breathe and find beauty in the world. The day is turning to night, and the shadows are growing tired. Despite the darkness, he asks for the person he loves to hold onto his hand and wait a bit longer. In his eyes, there is still hope, the music is still playing, and there is still time to wait for what is yet to come.

As the fall approaches, the streets of the city light up, and the two lovers vow to watch over each other until the winter comes. In this city, where no one can sleep tonight, they will share the night with each other. Still, they must remember to hold onto each other and wait patiently because the night is not over yet. Through the dim glass, the light from another room shines, but they know they can no longer return.

The song's central theme is about finding hope and strength in the city's emptiness with the person you love. It also touches on the idea of time and how we should always hold onto the people we care about because we never know when we will need them the most.
