| R.E.M. – You Are The Everything Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| This is depressing because I always thought it was about an older person forgetting to take out their dentures because they're just that tired, and their spouse thought it was cute/funny. ...... I think I'll just continue to believe this, but thanks anyway Michael Stipe lolol. | |

Well google finally showed me the real answer... https://nylon.com/articles/aquilo-silhouettes-track-by-track “Silhouette” This is purely a reflection of our past, growing up with girlfriends and friends throughout the years of us making music together. There came a time where we had to leave Silverdale and move to London and we suppose this song explains how some of the people closest to us felt at the time. We’d spent some time in Iceland, in Reykjavik, with Ólafur Arnalds working on the record, adding strings and really thinking about the sonics of it all. He really took to this song and we suppose it set the scene for us. |

I came here also hoping someone else gave it a go... but since that's not happening, here's my thought: From what I gather they're definitely a couple that's splitting up. "Stood at the cold face / Stood with our backs to the sun" - they both looked at things negatively "I can remember being nothing but fearless and young" - they're older now, changed "We've become echoes, but echoes, they fade away / We've fallen to the dark as we dive under the waves" - (said by his partner) they said they're estranged or no longer compatible, maybe a long-distance relationship or something else heavily strained their relationship. the partner thinks they've grown apart "The devil's on your shoulder . . . " - after so many years something's changed with them? maybe something changed very quickly "Let's go out in flames . . ." - let's go out with a bang (puns intended) Couple breaking up because something's changed and there's strife between them, and they decide to have one last "dance". |
