Colours

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up in the dark, to drive far from home
Hope to see the colours of dawn, within our eyes
Followed the maps and held back the yawns
As the stars went to bed, we made it to the water
Sat on the pier wrapped in coats of each others arms
Then we realised the sun, was hidden behind the stormy
Clouds and the colours we chased, hidden behind grey hues
Oh what's hidden from view
Oh our colours break through
Oh we'll find something new
We'll unpack the bags, in the dimly lit light
Unexpected she said, well that's normal for you
And I love you still
We'll watch the birds as they glide the horizon
See the sun, as it climbs above the clouds
The hope for the light that shines, comes into view
How do we explore this uncharted ground
The beauties that wait, they hide to be found
You'll see, there's always beauty
When you seek, you'll always find
And oh, we see what we do
Oh what's hidden from view
Oh our colours break through
Oh we'll find something new

Line by Line Meaning
Remember the morning when we chased the sunrise
Recalling the time when we awoke early to pursue the beauty of the sunrise
Woke up in the dark, to drive far from home
Getting an early start and venturing out on a long journey before the sun had risen
Hope to see the colours of dawn, within our eyes
Desiring to witness the vibrant hues of the sunrise reflected in our own eyes
Followed the maps and held back the yawns
Using a map to guide us on our path, fighting off drowsiness in order to stay on course
As the stars went to bed, we made it to the water
Arriving at the waterfront just as the stars were disappearing, having completed our journey
Sat on the pier wrapped in coats of each others arms
Sitting together on the pier, keeping warm by holding each other close
Then we realised the sun, was hidden behind the stormy
Coming to the realization that the sun was concealed by the storm clouds in the sky
Clouds and the colours we chased, hidden behind grey hues
The clouds had obscured the colorful sunrise we had hoped to see, leaving us with only dull grey tones
And oh, we see what we do
We witness what we actively seek
Oh what's hidden from view
There are amazing things that we might miss if we don't keep a lookout
Oh our colours break through
We will see the beauty we are searching for
Oh we'll find something new
Discovering something incredible that we did not expect
We'll unpack the bags, in the dimly lit light
Removing our belongings from our bags as we settle into a new place with low lighting
Unexpected she said, well that's normal for you
Hearing something surprising from the other person, but not being shocked because unexpected occurrences are typical for them
And I love you still
Expressing continued affection despite unexpected surprises
We'll watch the birds as they glide the horizon
Observing the elegant flight of birds as they soar along the horizon
See the sun, as it climbs above the clouds
Witnessing the sun rise and break above the clouds that once obscured it
The hope for the light that shines, comes into view
Waiting for the sunlight to break through the clouds and bring hope and warmth
How do we explore this uncharted ground
Contemplating how to navigate this new and unfamiliar terrain
The beauties that wait, they hide to be found
Knowing that there are wonderful things hidden just out of sight, waiting to be discovered
You'll see, there's always beauty
Assuring the other person that there will always be something beautiful to see
When you seek, you'll always find
Encouraging the other person to look for beauty and they will undoubtedly discover something amazing
And oh, we see what we do
We discover what we deliberately search for
Oh what's hidden from view
There are wonderful things waiting to be discovered, just out of sight
Oh our colours break through
We will discover and experience the beauty that we have been seeking
Oh we'll find something new
We will uncover an unexpected and new wonder
