Silhouette
Wovenwar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A silhouette you exhibit, so you'll never have to claim defeat
Cause somehow, someway, someone found a reason to betray
Maybe I can be your shelter, maybe I can be safety
But this silhouette you exhibit will never let you be complete
Cause somehow, someway, someone chose to throw this love...
You can find me waiting, when you're ready
Away from this
Lay your torment down, cause I am with you now
Somehow, someway, we'll find a way to love again
Lay your torment down
It's ok, I'm with you now, I'm with you now
I'm with you now
Away from this
You can find me waiting, when you're ready
Away from this
Lay your torment down, cause I am with you now
The song Silhouette by Wovenwar speaks to the struggles of feeling incomplete and the sense of betrayal that can come with love. The lyrics suggest that the singer is speaking to someone who has been hurt before and uses their incomplete self as a way to avoid being hurt again. The "silhouette" they exhibit is a way of protecting themselves from feeling the full weight of their emotions and admitting their vulnerabilities.
The singer offers themselves as a potential comfort and source of safety for the person, but acknowledges that their "silhouette" may prevent them from fully accepting that love. The repeated phrase "somehow, someway" suggests a sense of hope and belief that there is a way for the person to move past their pain and find love again. The final lines of the song reinforce this message of hope and the singer's commitment to being there for the person when they are ready.
Overall, Silhouette speaks to the challenges of navigating the complexities of love and the resilience it takes to move forward after experiencing pain and betrayal. It offers a message of hope and support for those struggling to let go of their torment and find love again.
