Silhouettes Lyrics

Fast Forward
Non-Stop
We have a beaten path before us
It was all there
In plain sight
Come on people, we have all seen the signs
And we will never get back to
To the old school
To the old grounds
It's all about the newfound
We are the Newborn
The world know all about us
(We are the future and we're here to stay)
We've come a long way since that day
And we will never look back at the faded silhouette
We've come a long way since that day and we will never look back
Look back at the faded silhouette
Straight ahead on the path we have before us
Day by day, soon the change will come
Don't you know we took a big step forward
Just lead the way and we pull the trigger
And we will never get back to
To the old school
To the old grounds
It's all about the newfound
We are the Newborn
The world know all about us
(We are the future and we're here to stay)

Haven't used this site in a while.
I think the meaning is obvious about the new generation moving forward.
The video is about a guy who became a girl. It shows how he used to be, when he underwent surgery, and how she is now, and she does not look back at her old silhouette (You can see her hide the guy pictures off the wall, cuz she doesn't care about the old "her" or "him" rather)
Striking parallel to how the generation is becoming more and more open minded and moving "forward' in some kind of direction.
I cannot believe that you're the only person on here intelligent enough to realise that's what it all means.

The guy going into surgery is transgender, gets reassignment surgery, and the other shots are her living life as a woman.

Love the beat to this song. Can't believe no ones commented on it yet. I get the feeling that this song is about how society used to be so differant (and better), and our new generation has wrecked it. In the line "we are the future and here to stay", I think that explains that there's no returning to how society used to be. Just a few thoughts I had. :)

I don't think he necessarily means that "our new generation has wrecked it." I think he means to embrace the fact that everything's moving forward in a big way, and we're headed down this beaten path to change. What's past is past; just a faded silhouette, essentially a ghost.

"Don't you know we took a big step forward Just lead the way and we pull the trigger"

Pulling the trigger...
Pulling the trigger suggests an action, maybe to set off a chain of events to change the world.
This is a very upbeat and inspirational song, and I just can't stop listening. :)
Could be a bias as I'm a transwoman whom surgery saved, but I feel that (at least with the video) it strongly suggests the change is an uplifting one and in the right direction. Theres a heavy juxtaposition of loneliness, dark colours, and sadness in her previous life in contrast to her new one in which she finds love, excitement, colour and friends. Lyrically, "Come on people, we have all seen the sunshine We will never get back to To the old school" Basically means once we've tasted happiness and life we'll never look back to the old ways which brought us sadness and despair.

The song resonates rebirth and joy of moving forward, that the past is just a faded silhouette, a blurred outline of a longtime ago, that we've come a long way and we will never look back.
The lyrics make a lot more sense after you see the music video.
It's about not looking at the bad experiences of the past.
Hey, when the girl woke up (while the main character was waiting in the hospital), the guy on the TV cut a cucumber in half. It's hard to show details in a short clip without narration, so I think it can be an association to cutting penis (so, in general, we see that the girl is shown and understands that (his bf's) penis is to be removed). Does that mean that the main character had his genitals removed? And that's why the girl leaving? Otherwise, I don't see any other point in the medical surgery thing.
Or maybe I took it too seriously and the girl wasn't a girlfriend, just random hook-up? But this way, why are we shown suspense scenes going back and forth between the guy coming home and the girl lying around with another guy? And more, the final scene where the guy drops his bag on the bed, it's revealed that the girl is in another house and the suspense is finished. If it was a random chick, the director wouldn't put much meaning in that last scene.
The girl in the club is the guy in the hospital. She's transgendered (The hospital operation is sex reassignment surgery). The song is sung from her current perspective, from her current happy life as a woman and how far she's come since she 'took a big step forward' in transitioning. It's so beautiful and truthful.

The video is a before and after of the same person, the guy. He had a bad life before, lonely and so on, most certainly related with the need he had to do the sex change surgery. Then, when he became a girl (the girl that appears in the video) he was actually be able to start living.

"We've come a long way since that day And we will never look back at the faded silhouette" This means it has been a long way since the old him, as he is now a she, the girl. The photo on the fridge...
"We've come a long way since that day And we will never look back at the faded silhouette" This means it has been a long way since the old him, as he is now a she, the girl. The photo on the fridge is a reminder of what she used to be, and so when she turns the photo around, it can mean she is finally moving on from the old her(or him, oy) and actually embrace the new life in front of her.
So the lyrics are mostly related with the path he had to take to actually become a girl. Straight ahead the change will come (sex change) and also the big step part.
And we will never get back to To the old school To the old grounds It's all about the newfound We are the Newborn The world know all about us
This means the new version of him, the girl he became after the sex change is the new born. And so he won't ever have to go back to the old person he used to be (obviously, after the sex change)
So that's mostly it. If you notice, in the last scene, the face of the girl is exactly the same face of the guy. Same person, different sex (before and after surgery)
Those are not the lyrics I submitted, mine were complete and actually made sense. How annoying.
You all are brain dead and brainwashed. Wake the eff up people! It's about the illuminati and the new world order. It's so blatant, go educate yourselves.
i think when avicii on the TV cut a cucumber that's mean that guy cut his penis than he got a newborn to be came a women, and when the women hide the guy picture,i think that's mean she doesnt care about her past,she just want to look her forward life,did you see when the girl woke up,that face is same with the guy who got a surgery,and than did you see the spidol when he get a surgery that's mean ILLUMINATI
