Watcher
Alma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gray skies, cool fade
Shots ring through my heart
Free fall, white heath
...
I'll be watching you
As I'm walking on the moon
But your love was never far
...
Fade, fade away with me, sunlight, briefly
So hear the shots spree, run through our hearts
Until our bombs melt, you matter to me
And when the nights falls, we're close to the sea
...
I'll be watching you
As I'm walking on the moon
I'll be singing to the stars
But your love was never far
...
Walking round the moon
Singing to the stars
Your love was never far
I'll be watching you
Walking round the moo-o-o-oon
Singing to the sta-a-a-ars
Your love was never fa-a-a-ar
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching...

The lyrics of Alma.'s song "Watcher" are filled with powerful emotions and vivid imagery, which can be open to interpretation but here is one possible explanation. The lyrics seem to be about someone who is missing and longing for their loved one's presence. The opening lines "Wait, wait for me, gray skies, cool fade" suggest that the person is waiting for their lover to come back to them. The "shots ring through my heart" might symbolize hurtful memories or moments in their relationship that have left emotional scars. The second verse's opening lines "Fade, fade away with me, sunlight, briefly" could be an expression of the desire to escape and spend some time with their lover. The lines "And when the night falls, we're close to the sea" could be an allusion to the tranquility and peacefulness of being near the ocean with the sound of waves being the only thing that can be heard.
The chorus "I'll be watching you, as I'm walking on the moon, I'll be singing to the stars, but your love was never far" could be interpreted in several ways. The line "I'll be watching you" suggests that the singer is keeping a watchful eye on their lover or maybe it's a reference to the well-known song by The Police with the same name. The line "walking on the moon" and "singing to the stars" could be understood as a metaphor for the singer's loneliness and feeling isolated from their love. However, the line "your love was never far" could be interpreted as a reassurance that their love was always present despite the physical distance between them.
Overall, the lyrics of Alma.'s "Watcher" are complex, filled with vivid imagery and can be interpreted in several ways, but the emotion of longing for the loved one's presence is the underlying feeling throughout the song.

I can't even put into words how this makes me feel... And the picture goes perfectly with it, making it better. I feel like this is the song I'd listen to when i'm sitting off a cliff alone at night, looking up at the beautiful stars. I know some of you fellow people who watch sheepy will understand how I feel.
