What began as three guys playing songs in a basement, has transformed quickly into one of the most sought after bands in the country. Silverline has performed and ministered to youth in over 38 states. When Promoters and Pastors are seeking out youth ministries that are not only relevant, but also willing and able to share the uncompromising Word of the Lord, Silverline is at the top of the list. After the success of their first independent single release Start to Believe, word started to spread throughout the music industry in the area, and also nationally. Several regional Rock Radio stations picked up the single, and it soon rose up the charts. Not often does an independent band have any success on national radio. With their recent signing to VSR/EMI CMG Music Distribution, Silverline is poised to break through the boundaries of the “Christian Music Industry”.
The stage show is second to none. From the first note the room is electric with energy from the thick guitars, explosive drums, and soaring melodies. It becomes the perfect mix of intensity and emotion. Thought provoking, anointed lyrics are delivered with passion. Fronted by vocalist Ryan Edberg, “The best singer you’ve never heard of.” says Jason Dezurik, of Worldview Warriors, the band is ready to take the message of Christ to the Nations.
Silverline has had the privilege of sharing the stage with hundreds of well-known bands such as P.O.D., Hawk Nelson, Newsboys, Sanctus Real, TFK, and dozens of others. The list is too long to remember. Not to mention selling thousands of CD’s independently, and touring countless dates over the past few years. The real success is the many lives impacted for the kingdom of heaven!
Silverline is committed to rocking as hard as legally possible, and standing up for truth in our lost generation. Their debut album Start To Believe was released on August 25, 2009.
Lights Out
Silverline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More, like run and hiding
Fear, had taken over me
But the gloves are coming off this time
Whoa oh oh oh,
Now that I found You
Whoa oh oh oh,
Whoa oh oh oh,
This dark view
Cause Your love's taking over
I wanna wake and see the truth
Let's take the old and make it new
Cause it's lights out, lights out
The game is over
Lights out, lights out
And I ain't the same
The game is over
I was down for the count and
Life had beaten me down
Saved by the bell this time
But I feel I'm waking up
Whoa oh oh oh,
Now that I found You
Whoa oh oh oh,
I see right through
Whoa oh oh oh,
This dark view
Cause Your love's taking over
I wanna wake and see the truth
Let's take the old and make it new
Cause it's lights out, lights out
The game is over
Lights out, lights out
And I ain't the same
The game is over
The game is over
Just like when the sun goes down on a western sky
I can look at the old life and wave bye, bye, bye
With the kiss of the morning sun and this new day has begun
And I wanna wake and see the truth
Let's take the old and make it new
Cause it's lights out, lights out
The game is over
Lights out, lights out
And I ain't the same
The game is over
The game is over

However, the song takes a hopeful turn as the singer revels in the discovery of love, and how it empowers them to take control of their life. The chorus is particularly uplifting, with the repeated refrain of "lights out" signaling the ending of something old and the beginning of something new. The singer's determination to make a change is palpable, and the lyrics are a reminder that it's never too late to take control of your life and make positive changes.
