Silhouettes Lyrics

Performed by Smile Empty Soul

Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
They won't let me go the wrong way
My mother taught me all the fables, told me how
In the end all the sinners have to pay
But...

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

He worked so hard his bones are breaking
He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
I don't ever want to end up like he did
And...

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

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

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

Every lyric describes me. And especially my father. He has worked so hard to support our family ane he now has a broken neck, both shoulders torn apart, and 4 stomach hernias, yet he still works to keep us going.. This song is beautiful to me.

I'm not being insensitive, but it's not this songs fault. You can't be angry because he had it in his Ipod.
Who cares? Just because it is in his ipod, doesn't mean he necessarily relates to it. I like the song Tik Tok by Kesha. Can I relate to that? NO. I like this song, and I CAN RELATE TO IT. BUT I'm NOT going to do bad thing BECAUSE OF IT.

Overall, I'm sorry for your lost.

This song is... | Reviewer: Venomslate | 10/15/10

Truly this song is a heart felt pain about an abusive family that had neglected their child. (the singer) I feel this song reaches out to a lot of growing teens with abusive and neglectful parent it reaches to them and it show how this one singer rose above his hardships and hard life and became what he did today. This song inspired me to follow my dream and get out of my family's reach, i feel his pain every time i hear this amazing song play on the Radio or Youtube.com or wherever i feel when people hear this song they feel some sense of hope i know i do. Whatever people feel from this it is good whether it be religious or just pure inspiration to get out of their painful home and just escape into a better life. This song is a masterpiece indefinatly

I love this song | Reviewer: shadow | 12/3/09

It's such a heartfelt song. I love how all the instruments blend with the emotion of the singer to make you feel the pain of the singer/speaker. I don't understand how people can say "songs don't have meanings" when there are artists out there who write based on their life experiences such as Eminem, Three Days Grace, Paramore, The Game, etc. It's funny how people just use songs, especially songs like this in particular, as just a form of entertainment. Songs with this are not written just because. They are written from the heart and for the purpose of telling a story. So to those who things songs are just entertainment, try writing a song about your worst experiences in life and then say if it was just for entertainment. No one writes these kinds of songs just to waste words and fill a cd.

Not about religion | Reviewer: Chris | 10/12/09

This song is not about Christianity being forced down someone's throat. That's pure BS. So grow up.

It's obviously about just a plain old broken home from birth and he doesn't want to be like his parents. His mother had fear of leaving and fear of everything. She lied to her son about life in general. His dad just didn't acre about anyone but himself and he gave up on life.

just my view | Reviewer: kim | 9/24/09

i like this song. music to me isnt just something to listen to when your bored i have passion for it. this song has alot of meaning to me cause i can relate to it. and everyone whos laughting at the reviews are ass holes. songs are here to make you feel somthing and to show you the artist point of view on life and so you become understanding. if songs were about joking around all the time. than to me life wold be a joke. listening to this and songs like this makes my view on the world and share ideas. also shows me how other people live and how sometimes i have it to good. compard to them

this song; | Reviewer: marysa | 8/20/09

i absolutely adore this song.
it's not something i personally can relate to, but i know people who have feelings like this. this song has so much emotion, and its such a release to listen to.
i dont think this song could have forced someone to kill themselves, and if it did, no offence, that's pathetic. it's music, if it depresses you, dont listen to it. simple as that .

Music is not just for entertainment. It can also be a means of expressing feelings or thoughts you cannot express in words. Its like poetry. Yes, music can be for entertainment, but music is so much more.

People who listen to music can also interpret its meanings in their own ways.

Seriously... you all need 2 stop finding a meaning in a song jus because you think it defines or relates 2 you in a certain way! dont try 2 make a meaning of this song jus because you think its it! music is entertainment!!! not a source of why you or someone else did something 2 themself! obviously the band had there own meaning! or mayby not even a meaning but because they liked it! you all sound like the media jus blaming anyone! like they blamed manson for a school shooting!
