silhouette
Moss Kena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lit the flame
You blinded me
You let me smolder
Then pulled me out
You stepped right on me
You left no doubt
I deserve some peace
I'm on my knees
There's a fire in your eyes
When you're holding a cigarette
But you hold me
You don't hold me
Keep blowing smoke till you fade to a silhouette
You should've told me
You didn't want me (ayy, ayya, ayya)
You should've told me
You didn't want me (yeah, ayya, ayya, yeah)
You should've told me
You didn't want me
You wear my heart down under my belief
You're in my chest and
It's hard to breathe
It's like addiction
It's all I know
I'm just so used to not letting go
After all you've done
I deserve some peace
I'm on my knees
'Cause there's a fire in your eyes
When you're holding a cigarette
But you hold me
You don't hold me
Keep blowing smoke till you fade to a silhouette
You should've told me
You didn't want me (ayy, ayya, ayya)
You should've told me
You didn't want me (yeah, ayya, ayya, yeah)
You should've told me
You didn't want me
Oh it's a dark and twisted fate
'Cause I'm the one you never crave
And you'll never text, you'll never crave
'Cause you'll never change
There's a fire in your eyes
When you're holing a cigarette
But you don't hold me,
No you don't hold me
You keep blowing smoke till you fade to a silhouette
You should've told me
You didn't want me (ayy, ayya, ayya)
You should've told me
You didn't want me (yeah, ayya, ayya, yeah)
You should've told me
You didn't want me
The lyrics of Moss Kena's song Silhouette seem to deal with the pain of unrequited love and the struggle to let go of someone who no longer wants to be with you. The opening lines, "My heart is burning with jealousy, You lit the flame, You blinded me," suggest that the singer has been hurt by the actions of the person they love. They feel betrayed and hurt by the fact that this person has moved on, leaving them behind to suffer alone.
The chorus of the song highlights the feeling of being left behind, with the repeated refrain, "You should've told me, You didn't want me." This line suggests that there was a lack of communication between the singer and the person they loved. The latter did not make it clear that they no longer desired the relationship, leaving the former to hold on to hope and suffer in silence. The fire metaphor throughout the lyrics suggests passion, both in love and in anger, indicating that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their feelings and their need to let go.
Overall, Silhouette is a lament of unrequited love, filled with emotion and pain. It speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on.

It's like addiction
I can't resist you
It's all I know
Loving you is the only thing I'm certain of
I'm just so used to not letting go
I can't move on from you
Oh it's a dark and twisted fate
Our situation is painful and unfortunate
'Cause I'm the one you never crave
I'm not what you want
And you'll never text, you'll never crave
You'll never think of me the way I think of you
'Cause you'll never change
You won't alter how you feel about me
