Amarante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It pours in through the window
Bright light on your skin
You pull back your face and hide in a shadow
(you pull back your face and hide in a shadow)
...
Just let it burn
Let it burn your skin again
Just let it burn
Let it burn
Just let it burn
just let it burn
let it burn
let it burn your skin again
just let it burn
let it burn
let it burn you
Close your eyes
Let the light in
Let it burn you
I think I'm gonna
I think I'm gonna give up
I think I'm gonna quit
I think I'm gonna
I think I'm gonna give up
I think I'm gonna
I think I'm gonna give up
I think I'm gonna quit
I think I'm gonna
I think I'm gonna give up
Just let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn your skin again
Just let it burn
Let it burn
Just let it burn
just let it burn

let it burn your skin again
just let it burn

The opening lines of "UltraViolet" evoke a sensory experience as they describe the pouring of bright light through a window onto the skin. The following lines suggest a feeling of vulnerability, as the subject pulls back their face and hides in a shadow. The repetition of the phrase "just let it burn" creates a sense of surrender, urging the subject to allow the light to do its work, even if it hurts. The chorus seems to offer a message of acceptance, encouraging the subject to close their eyes and allow the light to burn them, perhaps implying that this experience is necessary for growth or healing.
The repeated lines of "I think I'm gonna give up/I think I'm gonna quit" suggest a struggle or resistance to the burning light. It's possible that this song is exploring themes of personal transformation or self-discovery, with the burning light representing a difficult but necessary process. The overall tone of the song is introspective and contemplative, and the repetition of the chorus creates a meditative quality that invites the listener to reflect on their own experiences of surrender and vulnerability.
