Silvia Lyrics

Cover art for Silvia lyrics by Miike Snow

It's pretty obvious, I think, that this song is about a man (the singer) who's in love with a girl (they're not necessarily in a relationship) , but she probably doesn't feel quite the same way and sleeps with another man.

Perhaps she's a beautiful girl, because I think the man who sleeps with her is the man he meets by the bar: "met a man barside" and "with eclipses for eyes" because when someone is attracted to something/one, it's known their pupils dilate. "Eclipses for eyes" suggests his pupils were so wide and dilated because he lusted for this girl, Silvia.

Other lines which suggest it's about Silvia sleeping with someone are: "When the lights go out" and "someone else on your skin"
