"Silver" is about trying to learn who you truly are and realizing that you cannot love anyone else until you truly love yourself.
lyrics
[Verse-1]
I turn to drinking when I should turn the channel
The influence from the screen is poisoning me
Is this who I want to become?
Well I can’t answer until I know myself enough
[Chorus]
But I’m afraid of the silver rain being numb to my skin
I want to know how it feels to be covered in it
[Verse-2]
Too focused on trying to love another
But shouldn’t loving yourself be more important?
I question myself but my knowledge is all dried up
Like the blood that dripped from my nose to my heart
[Chorus]
But I’m afraid of the silver rain being numb to my skin
I want to know how it feels to be covered in it
[Refrain]
When Spring comes and goes, I have no one to call on
No one to come see me, therefore I’m all alone
When Winter breaks promises and I’m left to rot in gardens
Covered in snow and pain, I don’t know my own name
[Bridge]
Searching for the right way to help myself
A cold knife is sitting upon the shelf
Too tempted to grab it, I don’t wanna feel the cut
Yet if I do, does this mean I’m able to know
And love myself like I’m supposed to?
[Chorus]
But I’m afraid of the silver rain being numb to my skin
I want to know how it feels to be covered in it
[Refrain-2]
When Autumn leaves to stray, will I be better that day?
If I seek color and feel the wind, will you let me back in?
When Summer bleeds to say, you will be okay
Is that a way of knowing that I’ve stopped hurting?
[Outro]
Ooh, I can see it, ooh, I can see it
The sun should be coming up soon
Ooh, I can hear it, ooh, I can’t hear it
The sounds of the horns from Heaven
Ooh, I can feel it, ooh, I can feel it
And I suddenly feel, I’m no longer numb
