According to a press release, the song almost didn’t make it onto “Midas” since it didn’t fit with the album. The band, consisting of Slater, guitarist Harry Fowler, drummer Jamie Staples, and bassist Pete Woodin, finally stripped back the song while working at Pachyderm Studios in Minnesota and discovered its final form.
In a press release, Slater stated of “Silver”: “The song is about that ugly side of yourself that you try to keep a secret, but you know it’s there because it makes your skin crawl sometimes. It gets you places but fucks you up in the process. Everyone has elements of their makeup that they’d rather not admit to or keep locked away and never look at. That’s what ‘Silver’ is about. Kind of.”
