Silvio (Sílvio in Portuguese) is an Italian and Portuguese male name, derivative of the Latin Silvius, and may refer to:
Silvio (1874–1890) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from 1874 to 1877 he ran eight times and won three races. In 1877 he won the Epsom Derby and the St Leger. At the end of the 1877 season he was retired to stud where he had success both in England and France.
Silvio was bred by his owner Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth at his stud at Mereworth Castle in Kent. He was sent into training with Mathew Dawson at his Heath House stables at Newmarket, Suffolk. His sire, Blair Athol, was an outstanding racehorse who won the Derby and the St Leger in 1864 and went on to be Champion Sire on four occasions. Silvio’s dam, Silverhair, was a successful racehorse and produced other winners including the colt Garterly Bell, who finished fourth in the 1875 Derby, and the filly Silver Ring, who won six races including the Bretby Stakes.
As a two-year-old in 1876, Silvio showed promising form to win four of his five races. On his racecourse debut, Silvio won the Ham Stakes at Goodwood. He then won three races at Newmarket: the Clearwell Stakes on 2 October, the Post Stakes, and the Glasgow Stakes in which he was the only starter and walked over. He then finished second to the French colt Verneuil in the Buckenham Stakes.
Silvio is a masculine given name.

Remember many years ago you thought you never would
compromise believe in something no one understood
you executed smoothly now you're smoothly executed, aren't you?
and now you know how desperation smells
from that quickly spawns apologies
It doesn't matter how it sounds but how your eyes would glisten
you took the music slowed it down so grandmother would listen
I'm not following you down
arrangement dedications and dumb down it's complicated, fuck you!
I call upon this aging crew, I call out to our friends
to resignate those aspirations we knew wouldn't end
it pulses deep inside of us and you know what I mean don't you?
and now I know how inspiration feels, not how it sells
a million records or a platinum on a wall
and I won't offer you apologies
It doesn't matter how it sounds but how your eyes would glisten
you took the music slowed it down so grandmother would listen
I'm not following you down
