“Silverline” is Lykke Li’s declaration of protection to her significant other, claiming to be their guardian angel.
This provides a stark contrast to the guilt and shame in the entirety of I Never Learn, which suggests that this song is her wish to have fulfilled a more true safe haven for her love...
[Verse 1]
Don't wake the dreamer
Don't shake the axis
Be faith, I need it
I pray I believe it
[Pre-Chorus]
Never let the darkness leave us
If you can't, I'll be the dreamer
Be the night and I will be your shining light
[Chorus]
I'm your silverline
Only you will find
Silverline
I'll save you every time
[Verse 2]
Don't wake the lover
The spell I'm under
Be grace, I need it
I pray I believe it
[Pre-Chorus]
Never let the darkness leave us
If you can't, I'll be the dreamer
Be the night and I will be your shining light
[Chorus]
I'm your silverline
Only you will find
Silverline
I'll save you every time
[Bridge]
Don't burn my hope
Don't let the moonlight leave
I shine for him
Don't wake the dreamer
Don't burn my hope
Don't the moonlight leave
I shine for him
Don't wake the dreamer
Don't wake the dreamer
[Chorus]
I'm your silverline
Only you will find
Silverline
I'll save you every time
Silverline
Only you will find
Silverline
I'll save you every time
I'll save you every time
I'll save you every time
