Of Monsters And Men - Silhouettes Lyrics
It's hard letting go,
I'm finally at peace, but it feels wrong,
Slow I'm getting up,
My hands and feet are weaker than before.
And you are folded on the bed
Where I rest my head,
There's nothing I can see,
Darkness becomes me.
But I'm already there,
I'm already there,
Wherever there is you,
I will be there too
There's nothing that I'd take back,
But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret.
'Cause when I sing, you shout,
I breathe out loud,
You bleed, we crawl like animals,
But when it's over, I'm still awake
A thousand silhouettes dancing on my chest,
No matter where I sleep, you are haunting me
But I'm already there,
I'm already there.
Wherever there is you,
I will be there too,
But I'm already there,
I'm already there.
Wherever there is you,
I will be there too,
'Cause I'm already there,
I'm already there,
Wherever there is you,
I will be there too.
I'm already there,
I'm already there,
Wherever there is you,
I will be there too.

When the song says, “I’m finally at peace, but it all feels wrong” it is saying that I know that this is the best thing for me but I can’t let go. Also when the part that says “ A thousand silhouettes dancing on my chest, no matter where I sleep, you are haunting me”, I think that this is saying, I see all these things that will help me move on but here you are making it painful to move on. When the song says “There's nothing that I'd take back, But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret. 'Cause when I sing, you shout, I breathe out loud, You bleed, we crawl like animals, But when it's over, I'm still awake” I think this says a lot about
