For the second single "Time For Eternity", the video-clip was shot in a car trash in Halifax near London, where ravers meet and dance together. In 1995 Silja released her third single "Flesh And Fire", from a forthcoming first album which unfortunately never came out. For once, it was produced by P. de Saint-Front and David Fairstein (who, with P. Simpson, was behind projects such as Latino Party, Latino Inferno, 2 Pirates In A Club, Ibizaa...). Afterwards, everything became very quiet for her.
She describes herself as being full of tenacity but not very patient. She hates impolite people. In a man she appreciates his sense of humor. She likes eagles. Her favorite song is "Eyes Of The World" by the Grateful Dead. She likes Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchel, and admires Magic Johnson and Liz Taylor. She likes rock, funk, disco and music from the 70's. She likes chinese cooking. She always choses futuristic clothes for her live appearances but in private she prefers wearing simple clothing.
After 3 excellent Eurodance singles and a pause of 2 years, Silja's carrier took a totally new direction : French pop songs. She even released an album entirely in French. She lives in Montmartre, Paris.
Let Me Go
Silja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were together all the way
An endless path unbroken
But now there is a time
A torture less sublime
Our souls are locked and frozen
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
I tried but could not bring
The best of everything
Too breathless then to wonder
I died a thousand times
Found guilty of no crime
Now everything is thunder
Daytime all I want is
Nighttime I don't need the
Daytime all I want is
Nighttime I don't need the
Once we were years ahead but now those thoughts are dead
Let me go
All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me
Let me go
I walk alone and yet I never say goodbye
Let me go
A change of heart a change of mind and heaven fell that night
Let me go
The best years of our lives
The hope of it survives
The facts of life unspoken
The only game in town
I'll turn the last card down
And now the bank is broken

The lyrics to Silja's song "Let Me Go" depict a relationship that was once strong and unbroken, but has now become frozen and torturous. The singer is pleading to be let go from this painful situation. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance that the relationship has run its course and the only option is to move on. The lines "Once we were years ahead but now those thoughts are dead" and "A change of heart a change of mind and heaven fell that night" show how the relationship has changed over time and how the singer has come to terms with the fact that it is time to let go.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Let me go" four times, emphasizing the singer's desperation to be released from the relationship. The verse "Daytime all I want is, Nighttime I don't need the" shows how the singer's moods have been affected by the relationship. During the day, the singer may try to make the best of things, but at night, the thoughts are too overwhelming.
The lyrics also hint at some unresolved issues within the relationship. The line "Found guilty of no crime" suggests that perhaps one party feels they have been unfairly blamed for something. The line "The only game in town, I'll turn the last card down, And now the bank is broken" implies that there were some high stakes involved in the relationship, and that the relationship has ultimately come to a costly end.
Line by Line Meaning
Once there was a day
There was a time when we were happy and together
We were together all the way
We were completely devoted to each other
An endless path unbroken
Our future together seemed limitless and unchallenged
But now there is a time
Now things have changed and it's a difficult time
A torture less sublime
This pain is not as beautiful as it used to be
Our souls are locked and frozen
Our connection and passion for each other has faded away
Let me go
I need to separate myself from you
I tried but could not bring
I did my best but it wasn't enough
The best of everything
I wanted the best for us
Too breathless then to wonder
I was too caught up in the moment to question things
I died a thousand times
I felt the pain of this situation over and over again
Found guilty of no crime
I didn't do anything wrong, but it still hurts
Now everything is thunder
The atmosphere is charged with tension and conflict
Daytime all I want is
During the day, all I want is
Nighttime I don't need the
But at night, I don't need it anymore
Once we were years ahead but now those thoughts are dead
We used to have plans for the future, but they're gone now
All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me
My dreams for us are unrealistic and foolish
I walk alone and yet I never say goodbye
I'm separating from you, but I'm not sure I'm ready to say goodbye
A change of heart a change of mind and heaven fell that night
My feelings for you changed and it was a devastating moment
The best years of our lives
The time we spent together was the best part of our lives
The hope of it survives
I still hold on to the hope that we can work things out
The facts of life unspoken
We're aware of the realities of life, but we're not talking about them
The only game in town
Our relationship was the most important thing in our lives
I'll turn the last card down
I'm giving up on this situation
And now the bank is broken
Our relationship has suffered too much damage and can't be fixed
