Silhouette
Jackie-O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dragged away from my home and security
In a crowd of strange faces yours is the only one I seem to see
As the world comes raining down around me
That's why all that I can remember is the way you looked at me
And in your eyes reflected a lonely me
That's why I'm trying to forget all the ways we just connected
As if our bodies were the only way to speak
Because I thought this could never happen to me
And if I would never fall apart
Then I could face it all
And I would live without my shadows shown
And if I could learn to lose it all
I'd never ever need a heart
And then maybe I could learn to sleep alone
Cause' I'm trying to remember all the things that seemed to happen
Everything you said, Yes every word you said
But the memory is distant through the fog inside of my head
Is your silhouette, just your silhouette
And the days that followed were never quite as they seem
Staring back in the mirror is it truly me
Wanna forget nights like this where I lose my sensibility
Though it's the only time I feel truly free, me
That's why all that I can remember is the way you looked at me
And in your eyes reflected a lonely me
That's why I'm trying to forget all the ways we just connected
As if our bodies were the only way to speak
But now I'd hate to remember
Because I thought this could never happen to me
And if I would never fall apart
Then I could face it all
And I would live without my shadows shown
And if I could learn to lose it all
I'd never ever need a heart
And then maybe I could learn to sleep alone
Cause' I'm trying to remember all the things that seemed to happen
Everything you said, Yes every word you said
But the memory is distant through the fog inside of my head
Is your silhouette, just your silhouette
And if I would never fall apart
Then I could face it all
And I would live without my shadows shown
And if I could learn to lose it all
I'd never ever need a heart
And then maybe I could learn to sleep alone
The lyrics of "Silhouette" by Jackie-O depict the feeling of distance in a relationship. The singer is trying to reach out to the person they have grown far from and express how everything is different now. They attempt to bridge the distance and reminisce about past memories, old jokes, and the moments that make them feel alive, even though they are now separated. The song creates a mood of longing and nostalgia as the singer keeps their memories alive.
The imagery of nature, the sun, the clouds, the smoke, and the stars represent a sense of transcendence and spirituality. The singer tries to connect to the person they miss by finding them in the natural elements surrounding them. The line, "I felt your breath, the smoke became your silhouette" portrays how the singer is trying to find their lost love in everything they see around them, and how the essence of their love is still present in spite of the distance.
"Silhouette" is a beautiful expression of love, loss, and longing that captures the emotions of a long-distance relationship. The song's simplistic melody and minimalist style underscore the deep emotions that the lyrics convey.
Line by Line Meaning
Distance
Your absence feels like you are far away
Your image seems so distant
I can't picture you in my mind anymore
Tried to look into your eyes
I tried to connect with you emotionally
I've tried to get in touch with you again
I attempted to reach out to you once more
Just to bridge this distance
To overcome the emotional gap between us
Difference
Things have changed between us
From now on all is different
Everything is now altered
Tried to share some glimpses
I tried to recapture some good memories
To find some sparkling glitters
To relive moments of joy and happiness
They get me through the day
Those memories help me persevere
I was looking at the sun
I was searching for something bright and hopeful
Saw your hands in the clouds
I imagined you were still present in the world
The grass swayed
The gentle movement of nature reminded me of you
The smoke swirled
Smoke from a cigarette took on your silhouette
Part of another world
You are part of another place or time that I can't reach
People stared at me
I felt scrutinized by others for still holding onto you
I was staring at the stars
I was gazing at something beautiful, but unattainable
I felt your breath
I felt your presence surrounding me
The smoke became
The cigarette transformed into a symbol of you
Your silhouette
A reminder of the contours and shape of your being
Horizon
The future felt unreachable and unclear
Early morning
The beginning of a new day, hopeful but difficult
Tried to get between your sighs
I attempted to understand your inner turmoil
Keeping old jokes alive
Trying to hold onto old shared humor and connection
Just wanted to stay close to you
I desired closeness and intimacy with you
Waking up
Starting the day and the challenges that come with it
Has never been easy
It's always been a struggle for me
Tried to stick with you
I tried to support you through our difficulties
After all we went through
Despite our struggles and hardships
You said you'd always be
You promised to stay and not leave me alone
Around me
To be present in my life and accessible
I'll keep my crying in the rain
I will grieve privately and without others knowing
I'll keep my eyes shut
I'll avoid seeing things that remind me of you
When my world's a sleep
When the rest of the world is resting and unaware
Sleep my baby sleep
A comforting phrase for someone who is struggling

Вновь за чертой,
Считая к цели каждый шаг, идём с тобой,
Ничего, ничего опять не знаем.
За гранью той
Не видим, оглянувшись, прошлого порой.
Ничего, ничего не понимаем.
Нам душно,
Нам душно,
Нам душно так,
От жары стучит в висках,
Нужно сделать шаг.
В памяти порывшись своей
Не находим многих вещей.
Ты и я, ты и я лишь силуэты.
И упорно делаем вид,
Сердце ничего уже не хранит,
Но сквозь смех,
Больше всех
Грустим об этом.
Звуки шагов
Причин, по которым мы не видим снов,
Ничего, никого не замечаем.
Стрелки часов
Не остановить, дни летят быстрее слов
Из секунд, из минут года теряем.
Сражаться,
Сражаться, сражаться так,
Чтобы память – призрачный враг –
Знала, в наших руках всё.
В памяти порывшись своей
Не находим многих вещей.
Ты и я, ты и я лишь силуэты.
И упорно делаем вид,
Сердце ничего уже не хранит,
Но сквозь смех,
Больше всех
Грустим об этом.
Опять, кружась,
Танцует вальс
Вокруг листва…
Мы терпение теряем,
Тихо исчезаем,
Словно как трава.
Всё, что в сердце стоит хранить,
Нам поможет жизнь свою прожить,
И тогда
Сквозь года
Тот образ светел.
Прошлых дней нам не изменить,
И все те, кто научил нас жить,
Навсегда, навсегда лишь силуэты.
Мы взрослеем день ото дня,
И душа опять полна огня,
Пусть порой мы с тобой лишь силуэты,
И упорно делаем вид,
Сердце ничего уже не хранит,
Но сквозь смех,
Больше всех
Грустим об этом.
Опять, кружась,
Танцует вальс
Вокруг листва…
Но судьба моя во всём права…
