Lost
Silkstone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's in love, with her head up high
Used to dream 'bout her and I
She's got it all, but still wants more
That's why she says, she's leaving the world

She's lost, and full of lies
And I tell her so, but she don't mind
Cuz she's in love, with the tears she cries
And I just kiss my love goodbye

She changed it all, wanted her own way
No matter what I do, but she don't wanna stay
Cuz she want to be, someone I can't see
It's killing me, that she wants to be free
She's leaving me now

She's lost, and full of lies
And I tell her so, but she don't mind
Cuz she's in love, with the tears she cries
And I just kiss my love goodbye

Oh love can be turned away
But it always comes back someday
And love can be turned away
But it always comes back Hey

She's lost, and full of lies
And I tell her so, but she don't mind
Cuz she's in love, with the tears she cries
And I just kiss my love goodbye

Ooh Goodbye





Goodbye

Overall Meaning

The song Lost by Dutch rock band Silkstone is a poignant reflection on lost love and the pain that comes with it. At its core, the song describes a woman who seems to have it all but is still unsatisfied with her life, prompting her to leave it all behind. The singer, in turn, is left to cope with the aftermath of that decision, struggling to understand why she would leave and coming to terms with the reality that she is truly gone.


The opening lines of the song set the stage for the rest of the narrative. The woman in question is seemingly successful and accomplished, with her head held high and dreams of a future with the singer. However, despite all she has achieved, she is still searching for something more, and this leads her to a decision to leave the world behind. The singer is left to grapple with this sudden departure, and the chorus makes it clear that he is deeply hurt by her decision.


As the song progresses, the singer delves deeper into their relationship, exploring the ways in which they grew apart. The woman had become someone he did not recognize, changing everything about herself to be someone he couldn't see. This, in turn, made it impossible for them to stay together, leading to the painful goodbye expressed in the song's final lines.


Ultimately, Lost is a song about love, loss, and the journey we all take through life. It speaks to the pain of letting go and the hope that love can always find its way back to us, even in the darkest of moments.

Lost in the shadows with no company but the pain I swallow. Goodbye pain hello life. I was mad once it was because of love, now I can lost my way whenever , whatever because after all I know I would find my way. Anyway the air , and heavens just know my inner feelings, and the deepest of them are hidden in a song I never heard nor played. Wish you the best silk stone, so silky and so hard stonly felt.
