Silk Lyrics

Lyric discussion by elem45 

Cover art for Silk lyrics by Wolf Alice

I feel like this song is about depression and/or anxiety and paranoia. If have anxiety a big part of it is questioning a lot of things you do, even your own thoughts. Which is displayed by the lyrics in parenthesis. Also when you're depressed every day feels like a television show re-run you've seen 500 times.

"Count to a thousand before you sleep in bed Read the news, pass the time Drink the juice, feeling fine"

My Interpretation

@elem45 Yeah I think the same, even the way she delivers Who's fault is that, if it wasn't mom and dad (Well it must be yours) in a whisper suggests that voice that constantly assumes the worst and places the blame on the innocent who is self-loathing due to mental illness.

It is even quite angsty and existential near the end, looking for a form of salvation and protection from herself whatever it may be, to stop the monotony (as you explained) and pain she currently is experiencing.

One of their most poignant songs.
