It captures the struggle of someone who moves through life unnoticed, craving meaningful connections and battling inner darkness. The lyrics reflect themes of isolation, yearning for companionship, and the desire to find a guiding light to break free from the shadows. The ending poses a bit of irony to the story but even in life, do we not find ourselves sometimes feeling just like that? [INTRO] Waking at each birth of dawn, feeling hallow and alone The city yawns outside my window, a home without a home Hungrily seek to make connections, all ignore my silent plight Mask all my pain in laughter, a darkness moving past the light (light.....light) Light.......Light.......Light...... [HOOK] Oh, I’m just a silhouette, a name without a face, Gusting wind against a window, longing for more space. (.....space) I move unseen and unnoticed, a wisp of smoke that fades, My existence is a secret, truth everyone evades....EVADESSSSSSSS!!!! evades....EVADESSSSSSSS!!!! [Instrumental Interlude] [VERSE 1] Silently I walk the streets, the weight of hopelessness ingrained An endless blur of faces pass, like wet ink on paper stained, (stained....stained....) I crave the warmth of human touch, simple comfort of a friend But each day unfolds like the last, carousel without end (no......end.......) no......end...... no......end....... NOOOOO ENDDDDD!!!! [CHORUS] I’m a whisper in the silence, a thought that drifts away, Like a dream you can't remember, forever lost in yesterday. A paper boat cast to sea, drifting further aimlessly, I need a lighthouse as my guide, lead me home and set me free (free.....free) set me free........FREEEEEEE!!!!! set me free........FREEEEEEE!!!!! [VERSE 2] Sipping sadly on my silence, watching others laughter flow, Faces passing by like chapters, in a book I’ll never know. I trace fine lines upon my palm, precious map to something more, But destinations shift and blur, when the doubts begin to soar. (soar......soar) soar........SOAR!!!!! soar........SOAR!!!!! [OUTRO] A realization dawns at dusk, a chilling truth revealed, I’m the ghost of all the moments, the love they left concealed. I am the unseen, the forgotten, the darkest shades of grey, A specter on deaths dim stage, as I slowly fade away. (away.......away) fade away..........FADE AWAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! fade away..........FADE AWAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! [CHORUS] I’m a whisper in the silence, a thought that drifts away, Like a dream you can't remember, forever lost in yesterday. A paper boat cast to sea, drifting further aimlessly, I need a lighthouse as my guide, lead me home and set me free (free.....free) set me free........FREEEEEEE!!!!! set me free........FREEEEEEE!!!!! [FADE TO END] [END]
