Silhouette of Wings Lyrics

It’s my honor to describe your memories of everything that takes you…
…Steals your breath away,
Away from all that’s precious like the bright rays of the moon,
That cast a shadow on your window.
Nothing to fear, except dark,
Which the moon destroys in the night without stopping.
We all bleed the same.
We all bleed the same color, but yours is black and red.
It’s ok. That’s just fine.
Be mine. I need someone to love
Don’t stop now
When I fall off the wings of a…
Don’t stop now
Just when I’m starting to…
Don’t stop now.
When you smile I just want to breakdown.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i fucking loovvvvee this song. "when you smile i just want to breakdown" amazing.i think its about a girl who's suffering from heartbreak, and the guy loves her, so he wants to make her his so she can be happy, so they both can be happy for once. thats what i get out of it. i love abr. the old lyrics were the best. constellations is awesome but lyrically i think its a step down from thrill seeker and this and ect. the new sound is 100X better. these guys have progressed so much its amazing. but the older lyrics just completely blow me away.

Agreed 100% I actually emailed ABR a while back and asked for these lyrics and this is what they gave me they said "the quality was crap" but honestly still this song is just great. They have progressed and I still love all the lyrics the same but the old ones seem to have more intensity.
