Cover art for Silhouettes lyrics by Smile Empty Soul

This song is probably my favorite from these guys. The message is clear but I'd like to dig into it a bit more.

For one thing, there is an overall theme of self imprisonment, or at least another person teaching his siblings that.

"in the end all the sinners have to pay but..."

Okay, I used to hold myself back in pushing beliefs, but now I know that I never have pushed them. But guys, I have a personal relationship with God, and God is NOT THIS WAY!!!!!!! You are not to remove your sin yourself, or whip yourself for each failure there after. Sin is only two things: Intention and circumstance. And the way there world is, so many of us are born into sin (the latter).

Remember that when you form a relationship with God, or whoever you worship, the sin will be removed from you. It's a mere choice you make, and God does the rest.

This is my fav stanza:

"when i have kids i won't put any chains on their wrists, i won't i'll tell them this there's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough"

This is SOOO absolutely true for me. If I didn't believe in me and found my faith instead of having it spat at me, I wouldn't know my destiny like it is. And it is huge.

In fact, so many of us good people have big destinies. By limiting yourself to a doctrine spoken from someone else, you limit yourself period.

Believe in the magic in this world, because it is there. Just waiting, for so many has condemned and/or ignored it. It's something free. Take it.
