Alle Farben Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the skyfall could only bring the rain
I sat in darkness, all brokenhearted
I couldn't find a day I didn't feel alone
I never meant to cry, started losing hope
Somehow, baby, you broke through and saved me
You're an angel, tell me you're never leaving
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you
High on loving you
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you
High on loving you
You make the brightest days from the darkest nights
You're the riverbed where I was baptized
Cleansed all the demons that were killing my freedom
Got me laying down, gimme to ya
Get you singing, babe, hallelujah
We'll be touching, we'll be touching heaven
You're an angel, tell me you're never leaving
'Cause you're the first thing I know I can believe in
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you
High on loving you
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you
High on loving you
I don't need the stars 'cause you shine through me
Like fire in my veins, you're my ecstasy
You're my ecstasy
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you
High on loving you
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you
High on loving you
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you
High on loving you
You're holy
In the song H.O.L.Y., Alle Farben Rhodes depicts a story of someone who was experiencing a difficult time in their life, as reflected by the melancholic opening verse where the person is surrounded by darkness and heartbreak. The winter here symbolizes the bitter experience the person had been having. However, after all this tribulation, he found an "angel" in his life who saved him from his pain, but he's afraid of losing her. The lyrics suggest that the "angel" has brought light into his life and has become the one thing he can believe in, describing her as holy, and elevated to a sacred status. The chorus repeats the adjective "holy" in a reverent way to show that the person thinks of their partner as something or someone divine.
In the second verse, the person describes how his partner has become a source of cleansing for him, getting rid of the demons that were hindering his free will. Here, the riverbed symbolizes rebirth and renewal after baptism. The person feels a sense of release and ecstasy thanks to his partner's presence in his life. Overall, the lyrics convey a message of hope that even in a dark place, love can bring about redemption and joy.

When the sun had left and the winter came
As the warmth of the sun receded and the cold, bleak winter took over
And the skyfall could only bring the rain
The clouds were heavy and would only release rain, with no chance of sunshine
I sat in darkness, all brokenhearted
Feeling abandoned and hopeless, I was surrounded by darkness
I couldn't find a day I didn't feel alone
Every day felt lonely and isolating, devoid of any company or connection
I never meant to cry, started losing hope
Although I didn't intend to cry, the feeling of hopelessness was so overwhelming that it brought me to tears
Somehow, baby, you broke through and saved me
But then you came along and managed to break through the darkness, bringing light and hope into my life
You're an angel, tell me you're never leaving
You are like an angel to me, and I need you to promise that you will never leave my side
'Cause you're the first thing I know I can believe in
You are the one thing that I can truly rely on and trust in
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
You are pure, sacred, and divine, beyond any earthly measure
I'm high on loving you
My love for you is so intense and all-consuming that it feels like a high
You make the brightest days from the darkest nights
With you by my side, even the bleakest and darkest moments can be illuminated by your light
You're the riverbed where I was baptized
You are the place where I found a new beginning and was reborn
Cleansed all the demons that were killing my freedom
You helped me overcome the demons that were holding me back and keeping me from being free
Got me laying down, gimme to ya
You have completely won me over and I am willing to give myself to you completely
Get you singing, babe, hallelujah
With you, I feel like shouting out in pure joy and gratitude
We'll be touching, we'll be touching heaven
Together, we will reach heights of pleasure, love, and happiness that feel like heaven
I don't need the stars 'cause you shine through me
With you, I feel like I am glowing from within, and the stars themselves pale in comparison to your radiance
Like fire in my veins, you're my ecstasy
Being with you is like a burning passion that flows through my veins, filling me with pure ecstasy
