Song – The Lining Is Silver
Artist – Relient K
Album – The Bird and the Bee Sides
The simplicity of this song is a reminder to always remember that the lining is silver no matter how dark life may seem. Sometimes we just need to throw away those things in life that hold us down. Each skeleton living in our closest rent free, the ever growing list of flaws which we keep for no good reason, and the irrational excuses which stop us from living while we worry about things we can’t control.
When life is just a mess, and there seems to be no way to make sense of it all, that lining which frames the darkness is still shining silver.
Isn’t it nice to know that the lining is silver? And it always will be as long as we choose to see it.
Life, keep it simple and live it
Josh
Lyrics:
I found my new black shoes
While cleaning out the bones left in my closet
They were there with a bad excuse
Bon Voyage
And I found a backup plan
I’m grateful that I didn’t have to use it
But it’s made up of real good friends
Bon Voyage
Isn’t it nice to know that the lining is silver?
Isn’t it nice to know that we’re golden?
Well, I found a list of flaws
That I saw in myself and other people
And I threw it away because
Bon Voyage
Isn’t it nice to know that the lining is silver?
Isn’t it nice to know that we’re golden? Oh, oh
Isn’t it nice to know that the lining is silver?
Isn’t it nice to know that we’re golden?
Yeah, we’re golden, oh
When it all falls apart
And you can’t see the forest for the symmetries, oh oh oh
Isn’t it nice to, isn’t it nice to know?
Isn’t it nice to, isn’t it nice to know?
Isn’t it nice to know that the lining is silver?
Isn’t it nice to know that we’re golden? Oh, oh
Isn’t it nice to know that the lining is silver?
Isn’t it nice to know that we’re golden?
Yeah, we’re golden, oh
I found a love in me
I always somehow knew that it existed
It just needed to be set free
Bon Voyage
Isn’t it nice to know?
Isn’t it nice to know?
Isn’t it nice to know?
