Serendipity
Cōrt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lack of hue in this place
Miles of ivory enslave my brain
Through the corner of my eye I see a shade
I'm feeling blinded this light all around me is
Bright and it making me blink
So much for nothing not even a speck is in sight and
Off in the distance a tint shows faintly, its
Color not very distinct
As I walk closer, searching for closure
I found what I needed to see
Serendipity, you'll be my symphony
Keeping me up when I'm down
A surprise in disguise, in the times where I
Tried and failed, I needed a sign from
You know what is true, watch what I do
Oh what a view
Stop trying to find the way, the way will find you
When you are ready to stay
I would try to speak
But when the time runs deep I'll sink
Like a cloud in the sky I've been drifting through life
Seeking a place I could cry
My young person's reveries' now just a memory
Something like a lie
I'm feeling blinded this light all around me is
Bright and it making me blink
So much for nothing not even a speck is in sight and
Its making me think
Off in the distance a tint shows faintly, its
Color not very distinct
As I walk closer, searching for closure
I found what I needed to see
The lyrics of Cōrt's song "Serendipity" depict a sense of longing, confusion, and ultimately, finding unexpected joy and purpose. The opening lines describe a feeling of aimlessness and emptiness, as if the singer is lost in a vast, colorless void. The mention of "miles of ivory" suggests a metaphorical entrapment or restriction of thought. However, in the corner of their eye, they catch a glimpse of something, a hint of color that attracts their attention.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses their frustration with the brightness of the world around them, which seems overwhelming and disorienting. They remark on the lack of significance in their surroundings, intensifying their contemplation. But in the distance, the tint becomes more visible, although still indistinct. This draws the singer closer, as they search for closure and understanding.
The chorus of the song, with the repetition of "Serendipity, you'll be my symphony," suggests that the unexpected discoveries and fortunate coincidences in life can bring a sense of harmony and elevation. In times of struggle and failure, the singer relies on serendipitous moments to provide them with a sign, a guiding light. They acknowledge the truth in this phenomenon and encourage others to embrace the uncertainty of life, as the way will find them when they are truly ready to embrace it.
Overall, "Serendipity" portrays the journey of a person who feels lost and disillusioned, but ultimately finds solace and meaning through the unexpected encounters and surprises that life brings.

Wandering in empty space
Roaming aimlessly in a vast void
A lack of hue in this place
No color or vibrancy in this environment
Miles of ivory enslave my brain
My mind is overwhelmed by vast whiteness
Through the corner of my eye I see a shade
A faint glimpse catches my peripheral vision
I'm feeling blinded this light all around me is
I'm overwhelmed and unable to see clearly due to the surrounding brightness
Bright and it making me blink
The intensity of the light is causing me to squint and struggle
So much for nothing not even a speck is in sight and
There is an absence of any visible objects or signs
Its making me think
This situation is provoking contemplation
Off in the distance a tint shows faintly, its
Far away, a hint of color becomes visible
Color not very distinct
The shade lacks clarity and definition
As I walk closer, searching for closure
Moving nearer, seeking resolution or answers
I found what I needed to see
I discovered what I had been longing to witness
Serendipity, you'll be my symphony
Unexpected good fortune, you will be the harmony in my life
Keeping me up when I'm down
Supporting and lifting me up during challenging times
A surprise in disguise, in the times where I
An unseen blessing, hidden when I
Tried and failed, I needed a sign from
Attempted and faced defeat, requiring a signal from
You know what is true, watch what I do
You understand what is genuine, observe my actions
Oh what a view
What a remarkable perspective
Stop trying to find the way, the way will find you
Cease searching for the path, it will reveal itself to you
When you are ready to stay
Once you are prepared to commit or remain
I would try to speak
I attempted to communicate
But when the time runs deep I'll sink
However, when the situation becomes profound, I will falter or retreat
Like a cloud in the sky I've been drifting through life
Similar to a floating cloud in the sky, I have been aimlessly wandering through existence
Seeking a place I could cry
Searching for a space where I can express my emotions through tears
My young person's reveries' now just a memory
My youthful dreams and thoughts are now merely a recollection of the past
Something like a lie
Almost like a deception or fabrication
I found what I needed to see
I discovered what I had been longing to witness
