“Silhouette” by Lenka is the type of song that will have you dancing in the aisles of Target or walking down the street with a pep in your step. It really does speak to the power of choosing a great beat, because the lyrics convey a completely different feeling. Contrasting the upbeat, synth-pop tune, “Silhouette” portrays a desire to blend into the background, giving a sense of emotional detachment, inner turmoil, and the feeling of being disconnected from reality. Lenka sings about feeling of empty, and the struggle to find a sense of depth or authenticity within her life. The struggle to find one’s own identity or significance which ends up manifesting into emotional numbness is extremely relatable, especially in the long a perilous journey into girl/femme-hood. If you’re feeling detached from the world and seek a song that can encapsulate a desire to break free from an inauthentic existence? Then give “Silhouette” by Lenka a spin!
