Silverscreen
Miles Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't go up without you
Plated boots, lipstick rouge
Jack on the edge of champagne fruits
Misdemeanor, gossip cleaner
Overacting table reader
Ego driver, loose-lip liar
Driving my head ill
I can see the silverscreens
You won't leave it alone
I don't care what you mean
I don't buy your next scene
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
Surface tension, I won't mention
Liar, liar, liar, ha
Dancing finger, constant linger
Driving my head ill
I can see the silverscreens
You won't leave it alone
I don't care what you mean
I don't buy your next scene
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
You won't leave it alone
In "Silverscreen" by Miles Kane, the lyrics depict a story of a two-faced person named Johnny who is prominent in the hotel lobby scene. The singer refuses to go up to a higher level without Johnny, suggesting a dependency on this person. The imagery of "plated boots" and "lipstick rouge" implies a flashy and glamorous appearance. The line "Jack on the edge of champagne fruits" further emphasizes the character's indulgence and recklessness.
The lyrics also mention a "gossip cleaner" and an "overacting table reader," suggesting that Johnny is known for clearing up rumors and exaggeratedly reading information about others. The lyrics further portray Johnny as an ego-driven individual who has loose lips and tells lies, which has negative effects on the singer's state of mind.
The chorus reflects the singer's frustration and weariness towards Johnny's obsession with the "silverscreens." This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the superficial and fake nature of the entertainment industry, where Johnny is constantly chasing the next big scene. The singer expresses their indifference towards Johnny's actions and their refusal to be influenced by his manipulative ways.
Overall, "Silverscreen" conveys a sense of disillusionment with the glamorous and deceptive world portrayed on screens, as well as a determination to resist being consumed by it.
