Half Silences
Loma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When I remove myself
From the picture
When I reduce myself
I see you the same
And I couldn't find my way
Out of this feeling

I generate light, generate heat, generate breathing

I forget myself, forget my life, remember believing
I never get used to your tongue

When I police myself
I never make contact
When you betray yourself
You're only revealed
And when I see your face
I never see reason
How can you move so well?
Spinning inside yourself
And not understand me now

Generate light, generate feeling
Generate light, generate heat, generate feeling
So many words under my tongue
So many half silences, silences

Generate light, generate heat, generate feeling
Generate light, generate heat, generate feeling
So many words under my tongue
So many half silences, silences

Generate light, generate heat

Overall Meaning

, generate breathing - the opening lines of Loma's song "Half Silences" paint a complex picture of introspection and scrutiny, with the singer peeling back the layers of their own identity in order to gain clarity and perspective on an elusive and enigmatic figure. There is a sense of detachment and distance in the lyrics, as the singer "removes" and "reduces" themselves in order to fully see the other person, but also a deep emotional connection, as they struggle to make sense of their feelings and the dynamic between themselves and this person.

The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with its repetition of the phrase "generate light, generate heat, generate feeling". This seems to be a mantra of sorts for the singer, a way of reminding themselves of their own vitality and the intensity of their emotions. There is a sense of urgency and desperation in the way these lines are delivered, as if the singer is trying to force passion and connection where there is none.
