Silicone
Mono (electronic) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've tried to make you understand.
You never try to see behind my smile.
If I didn't know you like I do,
I'd let you into the secret in me.
Just because I'm good at fooling you,
When no ones around I'll walk in your shoes.
I'm smiling while lying to you
I'm smiling while lying to you
If you only knew.
I always try,
To hide behind a painted smile.
So many things the public never sees.
If I didn't know you like I do (I do),
I'd let you into the secret in me.
Just because I'm good at fooling you,
When no ones around I'll walk in your shoes.
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
When will you see through?
(Day day day)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
If you only knew.
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (and you don't see through)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
I'm smiling while lying to you
If you only knew.
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (but you don't see my smile).
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
If you only knew.
The song “Silicone” by Mono (electronic) is a poignant depiction of the struggle of trying to hide one’s true self behind a façade of happiness and contentment. The lyrics speak about the feeling of being misunderstood and unrecognized, as the singer repeatedly tries to make their loved one understand what is going on inside them, but they do not seem to be able to see through the smile that is always present on the singer’s face. The song is an exploration of the self, and how difficult it can be to open up to others when one is constantly hiding behind a mask of perfection.
The song’s lyrics create a sense of vulnerability and honesty, as the singer admits that they are good at fooling their loved one. The repeated line “I’m smiling while lying to you” emphasizes the internal conflict that the singer is experiencing, as they feel a need to be true to themselves but are simultaneously afraid of losing the connection with their loved one. The unspoken secret that the singer is hiding from their loved one creates a sense of intimacy and trust, as the singer is both yearning to reveal themselves and terrified of being rejected.
Overall, “Silicone” is a compelling and thought-provoking song about the complexities of human connection, the struggle of being true to oneself, and the lengths that people will go to hide their innermost selves from others.

The Nineties was the decade of cool, It started out with Acid Jazz and Trip Hop took it to next level mid decade.
