Silhouette Lyrics

Cover art for Silhouette lyrics by Thrice

i just think of it as him being so entranced with a girl, and her eyes speak truths to him that he otherwise couldn't see...her eyes (her spirit, this girl in general) give him a new perspective on the rest of the world. a parallel to that would be if you were to see a beautiful landscape or an incredible piece of artwork, or fall in love with a person as he has, and then you may try to find that beauty and amazing quality in the rest of the world, but you find that nothing that profound exists there. you can only see it in this artwork or this person. make sense?

thank you, beautifully put, it makes lot of sense to me. I know 6 years late but I'm here because of their new masterpiece anthology and I had to find the connection between this song and his wife. it perfectly makes sense this way, though I believe there are almost always various interpretations to Thrice's songs. did anyone else think of Platon's Allegory of the Cave by Silhouette Lies?

Also a lot of other beautiful interpretations of this and other songs on here. thank you all, many of them made me appreciate Thrice even more!
