In Your Arms
Silent Pilot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

There's no turning back...
I'm stolen, no reason...
Now that you took every part of me...(x2nd distorted)
If I could rewind...
I hope you'd still be there...
Now that you took everything...

All I want to know!

Was it real when I was
Stuck in your heart
Just to die in your arms through it all

All I want to say
Was that I could've stayed
When they've said it all,
But I'm the one who took the fall...

You keep your distance in heartache
Yet it's still no surprise when I rise in those eyes
Saying do you feel nothin? That somethin,
That burns in your thoughts
And it makes me wish that I forgot (it all)

All I want to know!
Was it real when I was
Stuck in your heart
Just to die in your arms through it all

All I want to say
Was that I could've stayed
When they've said it all,
But I'm the one who took the fall...

Now, there's no more time here to waste and
It's quiet here, you see
There's always room here for you and
It's everything, everything yet girl

All I want to know!
Was it real when I was
Stuck in your heart
Just to die in your arms

Holding you close,
Closer than we'd ever make it
Losing time, we're losing time
Down by my side,
Recollect before you save it
Were you mine? Were you mine?

And all I want to know...
Was it real when I was stuck in your heart,
Just to die in your arms??

All I want to know!
Was it real when I was
Stuck in your heart
Just to die in your arms through it all

All I want to say
Was that I could've stayed
When they've said it all,
But I'm the one who took the fall...

Now, there's no more time here to waste and
It's quiet here, you see
There's always room here for you and
It's everything, everything yet girl

All I want to know!
Was it real when I was

Stuck in your heart
Just to die in your arms

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Silent Pilot's song "In Your Arms" speak to a sense of longing and regret after a relationship has ended. The singer feels as though they have been stolen, unable to turn back and reclaim the parts of themselves that they gave to their former partner. Despite this, they still wonder if the love they shared was true and if their place in their partner's heart was genuine. The theme of regret is further emphasized in the line "But I'm the one who took the fall," suggesting that the singer recognizes their own fault in the relationship's failure.

The chorus emphasizes this sentiment of questioning what was real in the relationship, asking if their place in their partner's heart was merely temporary and insincere. The final section of the song suggests that while time may have passed, there is still room in the singer's heart for their former partner, even though the relationship has ended. The final repeated line of "Just to die in your arms" speaks to a hopelessness and resignation in the face of love that could not be saved.

Overall, "In Your Arms" is a bittersweet reflection on a lost love, filled with a sense of longing, regret, and uncertainty about what was real and what could have been.
