About

"Silly Child" is a whimsical indie-folk anthem that captures the fleeting innocence of childhood through playful lyrics and lush instrumentation. Blending acoustic warmth (guitar, flute) with psych-folk textures (phaser-laced violin, wah-wah guitar), it contrasts a child’s carefree wonder ("I love my chocolate") with the looming weight of adulthood ("the world they’ve made so cold"). The cyclical chorus—"I’m still a silly child"—echoes like a bittersweet mantra, while the fade-out lullaby ("Lalalalala") leaves listeners floating between nostalgia and melancholy. A modern folk tale for dreamers and realists alike.

Lyrics

Intro

(La-la-la... la-la-la-la-la...)

Verse 1

If all I see are flowers on my way,

And colors dancing in the light...

If all I hear are birds that sing so gay,

Like love has set their hearts alight...

I feel just like a fish in crystal streams,

Floating light as a feather in the breeze...

I dance with the wind, untouched,

With nowhere left to land...

Pre-Chorus

If everything feels bright and true,

Full of love, full of joy so new...

Chorus

It’s ‘cause I’m still a silly child,

I only know the world of angels’ smiles...

I don’t know the world they’ve made so cold,

Before the sky began to spin...

Bridge

When the butterflies stopped flying high,

When the pain took over every sky...

When the love we knew just died,

And everyone just walked away...

Verse 2

I’m just a silly child,

Still I breathe so free...

I’m just a silly child,

I love my chocolate sweet...

I never saw the world turn ‘round,

I love the beauty all around...

I love to love it all,

I love to not think at all...

Just to love instead...

Final Chorus

It’s ‘cause I’m still a silly child,

I only know the world of angels’ smiles...

I don’t know the world they’ve built so tight,

Before the sky began to spin...

Outro

"I love my chocolate...

I love the beauty...

I love to fly...

I love to not think at all..."

To just love instead...

(Lalalalalalalalala...)

I’m just a silly child...

(Lalalalalalalalala...)
