i grabbed that off of www.m-w.com

but just think of those ipod commercials with the people dancing and they are all blacked out. thats basically a silhouette

Answer 2

The word silhouettes means:

Main Entry:1sil£hou£ette
Pronunciation:*si-l*-*wet
Function:noun
Etymology:French, from *tienne de Silhouette died 1767 French controller general of finances; perhaps from his ephemeral tenure
Date:1783

1 : a likeness cut from dark material and mounted on a light ground or one sketched in outline and solidly colored in
2 : the outline of a body viewed as circumscribing a mass *the silhouette of a bird*
synonyms see OUTLINE

I'm not sure that song can apply to this word. I don't know the band, so I can't say for sure. They could be taking an "artist liberty"

God Bless You :)

Answer 3

It means: drawings include shadows.
