She
silver trees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She broke me with a fall
How could I see it
Come, away from where you are
To the unknown step
Into the love this is
And this blood is washing clean
Through my lungs the air she breathes
Back into my veins and saves again
The life of hope
Fall, through the safety, drop
Let the city talk
Let them see our light
Burn, let the fire burn
Rising through the air
Lighting my way home
All my heart is on her sleeve
And this blood is washing clean
Through my lungs the air she breathes
Back into my veins and saves again
The life of hope
All my heart is on her sleeve
And this blood is washing clean
Through my lungs the air she breathes
Back into my veins and saves again
The life of hope
The lyrics of She by Silver Trees appear to be about the intense emotions one feels when falling in love with someone. The opening lines mention that the subject of the song "came out of the sky" and "broke me with a fall", suggesting that their appearance in the singer's life was unexpected but also overwhelming. The singer wonders how they weren't able to see this person's impact earlier. The next line instructs the listener to "come away from where you are" and take a step into the unknown, suggesting that the feeling of love can often take us out of our comfort zones.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more metaphorical. The chorus describes the singer's heart being on their sleeve and their blood being "washing clean", seemingly representing a sense of renewal that comes with falling in love. The metaphor continues with the phrase "through my lungs the air she breathes, back into my veins and saves again the life of hope". This suggests that the subject of the song is their source of inspiration and hope.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the idea of letting go and allowing oneself to be vulnerable. The singer sings, "fall through the safety, drop, let the city talk, let them see our light". This line suggests that they are willing to take risks and shine brightly in order to be with the person they love. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, driving home the idea that this person is the singer's source of hope and inspiration.

She, she came out of the sky
She broke me with a fall
How could I see it
Come, away from where you are
To the unknown step
Into the love this is
All my heart is on her sleeve
And this blood is washing clean

She, she came out of the sky, she broke me with her fall, how could I see it.
Come away from where you are, to the unknown step, into the love this is.
Oh my heart is on her sleeve, and this blood is washing clean. Through my lungs the air she breathes, back into my veins and saves again the life of hope.
Fall through the safety drop, let the city talk, let them see our love.
Burn, let the fire burn. Rising through the air and light my way home.
Chorus again twice.
