Phases Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're never thinking that your love will fade
Try to recall your face
But now all I can make out is your shape
And so I find that I'm standing, talking to myself
When you were mine, you were totally somebody else
But now there's nobody living here that I can tell
Now the one I loved I can't remember
Though you told me once this was forever
And the one I want finally surrendered
Where's the good in goodbye? There's something missing in your eyes
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
It's such a crazy thing
To miss somebody that doesn't exist
A phantom wedding ring
That in the end is just an empty wish
And so I find that I'm standing, talking to myself
When you were mine, you were totally somebody else
But now there's nobody living here that I can tell
You know that I can see the tracks of time
Now the one I loved I can't remember
Though you told me once this was forever
And the one I want finally surrendered
Where's the good in goodbye? There's something missing in your eyes
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
Silhouette
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
Silhouette
You know that I can see the tracks of time
Now the one I loved I can't remember
Though you told me once this was forever
And the one I want finally surrendered
Where's the good in goodbye? There's something missing in your eyes
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
Silhouette
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
Silhouette
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
Silhouette
Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
Silhouette

The song "Silhouette" by Phases portrays the feelings of nostalgia and longing for someone who has left, turned into a different person, or ceased to exist in the same way. The lyrics describe the memories of a love that has faded away, despite promising to last forever. The singer tries to summon the image of their loved one's face, but can only conjure up their shape, like a silhouette. The chorus reinforces this idea, repeating the silhouette imagery against the night.
The second verse reveals that the singer is missing someone who doesn't exist anymore—in other words, their ex-partner has changed beyond recognition or has disappeared entirely, leaving only the memory of a "phantom wedding ring." The singer laments the loss, talking to themselves as if their loved one were still around but unable to communicate with them. The repetition of the line "There's something missing in your eyes" suggests that the singer is either projecting their own feelings onto their loved one or that their loved one is emotionally distant or changed.
The song conveys a sense of melancholy and yearning with its introspective lyrics and slow-tempo music. It captures the experience of mourning for someone who has passed away, even if they're still alive, which is a relatable experience for many people.

You're never thinking that your love will fade
At the start of a relationship, no one expects it to end
Try to recall your face
Trying to remember how a person looked like
But now all I can make out is your shape
Only being able to remember a person's silhouette after time has passed
And so I find that I'm standing, talking to myself
Reflecting on past relationships and discussing it with oneself
When you were mine, you were totally somebody else
People change over time and become different than who they were before
But now there's nobody living here that I can tell

You know that I can see the tracks of time
The passage of time is evident in the changes of ourselves and those we once loved
Now the one I loved I can't remember

Silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette, silhouette against the night
A verbal painting of the image of someone's silhouette against the night sky
It's such a crazy thing
It can feel weird and illogical to miss someone who is no longer in our lives
To miss somebody that doesn't exist
Longing for someone who has changed and is not the same person we once loved
A phantom wedding ring
Referencing a metaphorical wedding ring that was never truly there or doesn't exist anymore
That in the end is just an empty wish
Wishing for a future with someone who is no longer a part of our lives
Silhouette
Repeating the image of the silhouette as a symbol of the person who is now gone
You know that I can see the tracks of time
Acknowledging that the past cannot be undone and the only thing left is to move on from it
