Silver Soul
Beach House攀 Lyrics

The needle on the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil

It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again

The bodies lying in the sand
They're moving in the dark
It is so quick to let us in
We feel it moving through our skin
It’s a sickness, infinite quickness yea

It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again oh oh
It is happening again
It is happening again oh oh
It is happening again
It is happening again oh oh
It is happening again
It is happening again oh oh

It is happening again
It is happening again

The lyrics of Beach House's song "Silver Soul" describe a desire for connection with someone else, or the need for that person to complete one's self. The first verse encourages gathering "matters of the heart," or the emotional side of self, so that one can "act a fool," or let loose without restraint. However, the singer acknowledges that this isn't possible without the presence of the other person, stating that it's "incomplete without you." They refer to the "Silver Soul" as something that unites them, "running through" them. This phrase could refer to a spiritual or emotional connection that they have, as if they share something intangible that allows them to truly understand and see each other. They also acknowledge that this connection is fragile, describing it as a "vision, complete illusion." In other words, it's something that they hope for but may not be real.

The second verse delves into the physical side of connection, describing a "needle on the spinning wheel" collecting "silver coil." This could refer to the act of creating or weaving something, the metaphorical silver coil representing the bond between the two people. However, the singer recognizes that this cannot happen "without you," needing both parties to contribute to the creation of something greater. They describe the turn it takes to let the other person in, perhaps referring to a moment where both parties decide to give into the connection, allowing it to develop further. The repeating chorus, "It is happening again," could represent the cyclical nature of this relationship or the idea that this kind of connection is something that happens again and again in life, no matter who it is with.

Gather matters of the heart
Let's gather and discuss our feelings and emotions

So we can act a fool
So we can let loose and be carefree with each other

It's incomplete without you
Our gathering is not complete without your presence

The silver soul is running through
We feel a strong emotional connection to each other

It's a vision, complete illusion, yeah
Our emotions and feelings may seem unrealistic or unattainable

The needle on the spinning wheel
A metaphor for time passing and events unfolding

Collecting silver coil
Gathering and accumulating our emotions and experiences

It gathers heat without you
Our emotions continue to grow and intensify, even in your absence

Whether or not you turned from it
Regardless of whether you reciprocate our emotions or not

It's a quick turn
Our emotions can change rapidly

To let us in
To allow us to feel vulnerable and open with each other

The bodies lying in the sand
A visual of people relaxing and enjoying themselves on the beach

They're moving in the dark
Metaphor for people enjoying themselves without inhibition

We feel it moving through our skin
We feel a deep and internal connection with each other

It’s a sickness, infinite quickness yea
Our emotions are powerful and all-encompassing

It is happening again
Our emotions and feelings are repeating themselves

It is happening again oh oh
We keep experiencing these intense emotions and connections
