Silhouette
Katrine Lukins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fast cars, empty eyes
Bigger, better, not enough
You think you're cool but you're all the same

'Cause when the world gets filled with lies
You gotta keep your head up high
Always gonna change your mind
Never bring me down

You gotta go and make them wonder
To save yourself from going under
Never forget your heart is where you are
Never stop from going faster
You don't know what we're chasing after
A silhouette from the other side

Breathe in, breathe out
Seeing everything that is left to find
You better pick those pieces up (hey, yeah, yeah)
You tell me what you want and you say you gonna move
Never seem to go with all the shit you're going through
You see the time and it's passing by

'Cause when the world gets filled with lies
You gotta keep your head up high
Always gonna change your mind
Never bring me down

You gotta go and make them wonder
To save yourself from going under
Never forget your heart is where you are
Never stop from going faster
You don't know what we're chasing after
A silhouette from the other side

Learned to live a lie
Promised glory life
Made for you and I
Trust those words inside
Oh-whoa, ooh

It's a silhouette




A silhouette, a silhouette
Hey, yeah, ooh

Overall Meaning

Katrine Lukins's song Silhouette touches upon the reality of the modern world where individuals are always running, never being able to gather their thoughts or even take a break, as everything around them is moving so fast. The lyrics portray the fast-paced life of the world through fast cars and empty eyes with a constant hunger for more that is never fulfilled. The song talks about the unrealistic expectations people have set, thinking that they are cool but in reality, everyone is the same. The line "Bigger, better, not enough" describes how individuals always want something more, but it's never enough.


In the chorus, the lyrics advise the listener to keep their head up high and always change their mind. Instead of bringing others down, the lyrics advise to go and make them wonder, save yourself from going under, never forget that the heart is where you are, and never stop going faster. The final line of the chorus "You don't know what we're chasing after, a silhouette from the other side" indicates that individuals don't know what they are chasing, what they want, or why they are running so fast, but they continue to pursue it anyway.


The pre-chorus focuses on breathing in, breathing out, and seeing everything that is left to find, and encourages the listener to pick up the pieces to move forward. The lines "Learned to live a lie, Promised glory life, Made for you and I, Trust those words inside" show that people have been conditioned to believe what society is telling them. The song is a reminder to step back, think about what's truly important, and live life according to the individual's terms, not the world's.
