Euphoria
Alex & Giro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes are painted red
The canvas on my soul
Is slowly breaking down, again
Today I heard the news
The stories getting old
When will we see the end?
Of the days, we bleed, for what we need
To forgive, forget, move on

Cause we've got

One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not forsake us
Only one
Only one

The writing's on the wall
Those who came before
Left pictures frozen still, in time
You say you want it all
But whose side you fighting for?
I sit and wonder why
There are nights, we sleep, while others they weep
With regret, repent, be strong
'Cause we've got

One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not forsake us
Only one
Only one

Just you and I
Under one sky
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not forsake us

Only one
Only one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alex & Giro's song Euphoria capture the essence of life's fleeting nature and the importance of cherishing what we have in the moment. When the singer talks of his eyes being painted red, it signifies that he is tired, worn out, and perhaps overwhelmed by the continuous cycle of events that are breaking down his soul's canvas. He then speaks of hearing the news, the story he has heard over and over again, highlighting the repetitive nature of life's struggles, which can leave us feeling hopeless and unsure where to turn.

However, the singer accentuates the importance of cherishing the time we have because we have only one chance to live, to love, and to give. The singer urges us to forgive, forget, and move on from the things that hold us back and bleed us dry. He calls on us to seize the day because it is our only chance to live life to the fullest. The chorus speaks about the concept of "one", which could be interpreted as one opportunity, one life, one love, one heart, one soul, all of which are precious, valuable and must not be forsaken.

Today I heard the news
I received some news today

The stories getting old

When will we see the end?
When will this all be over?

Of the days we bleed, for what we need

The writing's on the wall
The evidence is clear

Those who came before
Those who existed before us

Left pictures frozen still, in time
They left behind memories that are preserved in history

You say you want it all
You claim to want everything

But whose side you fighting for?
What do you stand for?

I sit and wonder why
I contemplate and question

There are nights we sleep while others they weep
We are not always aware of the struggles of others

With regret, repent, be strong
We need to acknowledge our mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and be strong

'Cause we've got
Because we have

Just you and I
Just the two of us

Under one sky
We share the same sky
