“We Will Become Silhouettes” is literally the tale post-apocalyptic world or fear of an apocalypse, but metaphorically a song about sadness and relationships. The music, which is light and upbeat, certainly juxtaposes the depressing lyrics.
It was released as a single by The Postal Service in 2005,...
[Verse 1]
I've got a cupboard with cans of food
Filtered water, and pictures of you
And I'm not coming out until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass
Where the light bends at the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Pretending the echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know
[Chorus]
And we become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
[Verse 2]
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make
Our cells divide at an alarming rate
Until our shells simply cannot hold all our insides in
And that's when we'll explode
And it won't be a pretty sight
[Chorus]
And we'll become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become (And we'll become, and we'll become)
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become (And we'll become, and we'll become)
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become (And we'll become, and we'll become)
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
[Outro]
(And we'll become, and we'll become
And we'll become, and we'll become)
