Amaryllis

How I interpret this song is a little different than expected haha. It's about losing yourself for a long time and then trying to find yourself. The silhouette is your the shadow of your former self. So it's just about going through hard times and losing yourself; then finding yourself. If that makes sense. It's the soul talking to it's vessel pretty much.

I think you should be listening to this song and finding out what it means to you it doesnt matter what everyone else thinks it means what matters is what you think it means cause only you can know what it truly means for you and thats why i love shinedown nearly all if their songs have a hidden message for everyone but youre not supposed to know anyone elses secret message only yours cause its yours its personal to you

It's "So far out of reach" not "So pull out a leash" just an FYI

To me it seems as though he is talking to himself.
"So do I remind you of someone you've never met?" He is wishing it could return to a state of happiness he never had, "someone you've never met", but "in a while now, I will feel better". He is battling something difficult on the inside and he feels that he is finally ready for a change; for his flower to bloom. He wants to discover his true self. It's just my interpretation and it's a little different than the other ones listed so I thought I'd share :)

Probably my favorite on Amaryllis, just an amazing song all around. The music, the lyrics, it's perfect. I really hope they release this as a single, it could easily be their biggest hit so far.

In a while now I will feel better I'll face the weather before me In a while now I'll race the irony And buy back each word of my eulogy

All the uninvited tragedies Step outside

Ask yourself now, where would you be without Days like this When you finally collide With the moment you can't forget

So do I remind you of Someone you've never met, a lonely silhouette And do I remind you of Somewhere you wanna be, so far out of reach

Oh oh, I wish you'd open up for me 'Cause I wanna know you Amaryllis Bloom

Stay a while now, undress your colors 'Cause they're like no others, I've ever seen I could get used to your company Step inside

Ask yourself now, where would you be without Days like this When you finally collide With emotions you can't resist

So do I remind you of Someone you've never met, a lonely silhouette And do I remind you of Somewhere you wanna be, so far out of reach

Oh oh, I wish you'd open up for me 'Cause I wanna know you Amaryllis

In a while now I will feel better I will be better

So do I remind you of Someone you've never met, a lonely silhouette And do I remind you of Somewhere you wanna be, so far out of reach

Oh oh, I wish you'd open up for me 'Cause I wanna know you Amaryllis Bloom

Amaryllis Bloom

Amaryllis

Apart from being a lovely flowering tuber,it is a Greek myth about a shepherdess who fell in love with Apollo and she was turned into a flower by Zeus...great song. :)

In a while now I will feel better I'll face the weather before me In a while now I'll race the irony And buy back each word of my eulogy

All the uninvited tragedies Step outside

Ask yourself now, where would you be without Days like this When you finally collide With the moment you can't forget

So do I remind you of Someone you've never met, a lonely silhouette And do I remind you of Somewhere you wanna be, so far out of reach

Oh oh, I wish you'd open up for me 'Cause I wanna know you Amaryllis Bloom

Stay a while now, undress your colors 'Cause they're like no others, I've ever seen I could get used to your company Step inside

Ask yourself now, where would you be without Days like this When you finally collide With emotions you can't resist

So do I remind you of Someone you've never met, a lonely silhouette And do I remind you of Somewhere you wanna be, so far out of reach

Oh oh, I wish you'd open up for me 'Cause I wanna know you Amaryllis

In a while now I will feel better I will be better

So do I remind you of Someone you've never met, a lonely silhouette And do I remind you of Somewhere you wanna be, so far out of reach

Oh oh, I wish you'd open up for me 'Cause I wanna know you Amaryllis Bloom

Amaryllis Bloom

Amaryllis

I believe this song is about meeting someone new in yoru life and wanting them to open up, I take it as a song basically saying "You are amazing the way you are, and I'm here for you, you can come to me with anything, but first you have to open up for me" Brent is refering to the person as "Amaryllis" and telling this person to "bloom" or "open up"

Just my thoughts though.. good song, at first I thought it couldn't get any better with Sounds of Madness, and then my brother bought this album and it is so much better! Rock on \m/

For me this song is about being in a situation that makes you feel unhappy and miserable but you know you will get out of it and have to hang on, even though a better situation seems so far out of reach, you have to face the weather before you, tell all the uninvited tragedies to step outside and someday you will feel better, someday you will be better.

The reference Amaryllis can be the bulb (miserable situation where you want to hide from the world) and with good care it will bloom and show you her beautiful colours.

The person you never met, the lonely silhouette for me is how you can change into someone you dont even recognize at times because of the situation.

For me... being made redundant and losing the job I loved.

Amazing song!
