Spotlight
Samuel & Silentรณ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still had to engage, even with no atmosphere
Was I just faking a show, and was all this noise the same as what they were hearing
Well, I didn't know
And I could not trust their face
Well we all know that a great white moment can still feel like nothing at all
Can't go by those things
I can't trust the feelings that are screaming for the spotlight
Cause if I had, would not have made it here
You can say that everything is crashing for a moment
Or shut your mouth and then say something clear
I fell back on my rage and I did not look a thing like you would have known me
But I'm burning a page so the story can stay clear
And I don't mean to revise, but I won't go back and live in my exposition
I've gotta be wise so we drown out all the fear
Well we all know that a great white moment can still feel like nothing at all
Can't go by those things
I can't trust the feelings that are screaming for the spotlight
Cause if I had, would not have made it here
You can say that everything is crashing for a moment
Or shut your mouth and then say something clear
And I will be right here
I can't trust the feelings that are screaming for the spotlight
Cause if I had, would not have made it here
You can say that everything is crashing for a moment
Or shut your mouth and then say something clear
And I will be right here
In Samuel & Silentรณ's song Spotlight, the artist expresses the uncertainty that comes with performing on stage. The lyrics suggest that despite being in the spotlight, it is not always as exhilarating as one may think it should be. The artist reflects on how they felt when they first stepped on stage and admitted that it didn't feel the way it was supposed to. Even though they had to engage with the crowd, it felt like there was no atmosphere, and they couldn't tell if the audience shared the same enthusiasm. The artist was unsure if they were only putting on a show and if the noise they heard was similar to what the audience was experiencing. They couldn't even trust the audience's facial expressions to determine how they were doing.
The artist metaphorically describes the moment as a "great white moment" that can still feel like nothing. The artist implies that we shouldn't base our emotions solely on such moments. They claim to be wary of their own feelings, which "scream for the spotlight" because, if they were to trust them entirely, they wouldn't be where they are now. Instead, we should take moments of crashing or uncertainty to clear our minds and speak clearly without fear. The artist insists on being present and not living in the past, suggesting that we also should stay in the moment and avoid letting our emotions or past experiences hinder growth and progress.
