Silver Soul Lyrics
We gather matters of the heart
So we can act a fool
It's incomplete without you
The silver soul is running through
It's a vision, complete illusion, yeah
[Verse 2]
The needle on the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil
It gathers heat without you
Whether or not you're turned from it
It's a quick turn to let us in, yeah
[Chorus]
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
[Verse 3]
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, yeah
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
[Outro]
It is happening again
About
“Silver Soul” has the thick, churning gloom familiar from earlier Beach House records, but they acquire more force by being placed alongside tracks that allow for more light. Front to back, the arrangements and sequencing are superb.
The song has gained popularity from being sampled in one of Kendrick Lamar’s most popular songs, “Money Trees” and Lil Peep’s 2017 single “Downtown.”

I get really intense visions when I write songs and when I believe in something, my imagination goes crazy. But I had never made a video before and the only reason I did was because when writing this song, I had this narrative in my head instantly. I saw this girl, I saw the hula hoops, I saw the silver, I saw the shower and the leg; it was one after another and I was just like, “What am I going to do? I have all these things in my brain?” So I talked about it with Alex and he supported the idea of me making the video, even though I had no experience. And I felt compelled to do it because the vision was so strong. Also, I’m continuing to challenge myself— I think the artist always needs something harder or different to do in order to stay alive. So that’s why I decided to do it— so I could over stimulate myself even more.
