| Of Monsters And Men – Silhouettes Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Since this song is from the Catching Fire soundtrack and is played in the credits at the end of the movie, I believe it has something sorta to do with it. I feel like this song is simply about nightmares and how powerful they are, and how when bad things they come back to haunt you in your dreams, kind of like the nightmares that Katniss and Peeta experienced. "A thousand silhouettes dancing on my chest. No matter where I sleep, you are haunting me." This line tells a lot about the song. No matter how much Katniss tried to sleep, it didn't work, her nightmares were too powerful, and kept haunting her. She keeps seeing the silhouettes, or the events in her nightmares, dancing around her. "It's hard letting go, I'm finally at peace, but it feels wrong." In this line, It's when Katniss wakes up from her nightmares, she knows she's safe, but she keeps screaming and worrying for no apparent reason. It's hard to let go of something imaginary, but yet so real. To her, she is not at peace. "My hands and feet are weaker than before. And you are folded on the bed where I rest my head." I feel like this is Peeta's situation. He, too, is overcome by nightmares of the Games. He feels weak when he wakes up, but when he sees Katniss, he's at peace and rests, because his nightmares are about losing her. "But I'm already there, I'm already there, wherever there is you, I will be there too." This is both of their situations. When one of them wakes up from their nightmares, they are scared, but if the other one is there, they know they are safe, because they have each other. Katniss feels safer when Peeta is there, and Peeta feels safer when Katniss is there. Together they help each other through the night. Well that is my interpretation about "Silhouettes" by O.M.A.M. |
