Romeo & Silhouettes Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
This part is like a wake-up call. It’s saying that in order to survive, sometimes you’ve got to turn off your emotions and stop holding yourself back. No more limits, no more softness—just go full force. That “violent” energy isn’t about actual violence, but more about powering through and demanding to be noticed—so loud they call the sirens. The Arabic lines express frustration with fake people who only act nice when it suits them. The artist opens up about loving someone who made him suffer and feel alone. He feels haunted by memories and doubt. He used to believe in love, like a modern-day Romeo, but now he’s been forced to start over and figure out how to love again.

[PART.1]
This part dives deep into disappointment and betrayal. It starts by saying long absences never bring anything good—just longing that turns into frustration. The heart might miss someone, but how can it forget all the pain they caused? He reflects on aging, thinking about how nothing lasts forever, and questions why he let suspicion take over or stayed in a cycle that didn’t bring real value. People who only care about money have no real love to give. Maybe they help financially, but their intentions are selfish.
Then he shifts to directly addressing his ex, saying she destroyed everything with her own hands, and though she promised to rebuild it, she forgot who he really was. He admits it’s not entirely her fault—he lost himself while loving her. Even though his heart was all in, he was fighting battles just to make her happy. He got so low that he considered ending everything she started.
At one point, he caught himself thinking, why would he let someone so weak control someone as strong as him? That realization hit him, and he laughed at how far he’d fallen. He compares buying a one-way ticket to hell with wasting his time on her—if he did it, they’d probably meet there. But instead, he turned it around. Now, while she watches from the sidelines, stalking him, waiting for updates, he’s on top. She asks how he did it. He tells her to open her playlist—he’s one of the greatest.
While she was busy breaking his heart, he was out breaking records and getting paid. His face is on billboards across the country. And deep down, he wishes she had seen his success. But even if she had, she’d probably try to make him feel guilty—like he was showing off to make her feel small.

[Chorus]
This chorus hits again with the same energy. It reminds you to shut off emotions when needed and break through limits with force. It’s like a battle cry for anyone who’s tired of being walked on. The lines in Arabic criticize fake people who act good only when it benefits them. The singer reflects on how loving someone only brought him pain and left him alone. The silhouettes coming back represent memories or people from the past trying to return, even though all they ever did was doubt him. He used to believe love would last, but now he sees even Romeo can fall. And after all that, he’s stuck learning how to love again from scratch.

[PART.2]
This part shows someone hitting rock bottom, going back to unhealthy habits like smoking just to cope. He feels alone, surrounded by just shadows of what used to be. He was stuck, emotionally tangled, and even crying at night hurt physically. But then comes a shift—he’s back to himself, his true state of mind. He’s tuning out the noise and keeping people at a distance. He throws shade at the type of person his ex is—someone who plays games, uses people, and poisons relationships when it suits her.
Then he reflects on how love in his life tends to go one of two ways—either people get emotionally destroyed or they end up as victims. Even though he loves deeply and wants to hold someone close, he’s been hurt too many times. And out of all the pain he’s felt, her love was the most poisonous. Nothing ever came close to how bad it stung.

[OUTRO]
This part captures the sadness and darkness left behind. He repeats how loving her only brought suffering, and he ended up feeling completely alone. The sounds of crying out and the lines in Arabic talk about how he saw darkness in his eyes, and the pain made him forget even his own beautiful side. It’s like he lost himself completely in that relationship.
