Flicker
Canyon City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching from the windows
I try, following the water down the line,
Drawing out a crooked road, in time
No one will ever know
But if you feel it, believe it don't let it go Before you see it, you know
I'll try anything right now
I'll try anything to get to you
All through the night
Still here, holding out
Up high, through the broken clouds
Flicker a light, wherever I might find you
Don't say don't say just let me see I'll spend my days learning to breathe
In place while the race runs around us
Like rivers run like downpour rain
I fall and crash around this maze
I'm in but end in the great love
Oh if you feel it, believe it don't let it go Before you see it, you know
I'll try anything right now
I'll try anything right now
I'll try anything to get to you
All through the night
Still here, holding out
Up high, through the broken clouds
Flicker a light, wherever I might find you
Flicker a light, flicker a light
I'll try anything right now
I'll try anything right now
I'll try anything to get to you
All through the night
Still here, holding out
Up high, through the broken clouds
Flicker a light, wherever I might find you
(Flicker a light, flicker a light)
(Flicker a light, flicker a light)
The song “Flicker” by Canyon City is a melancholic and emotional reflection on the desire to be with someone despite the obstacles and challenges that appear. The opening lyrics paint a picture of isolation and a desire to escape from the world. The singer is watching the rain and contemplating running away, but they are trapped inside their thoughts. The second verse continues this theme, as they follow a body of water that curves and meanders, creating a sense of disorientation and confusion. This sense of uncertainty is echoed later on in the song, as they describe being lost in a maze that ultimately leads to great love.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to do anything to be with the person they desire, even if it means taking risks and making sacrifices. The chorus repeats the line “I’ll try anything right now” as a declaration of their determination and resolve. Despite the stormy weather and the broken clouds, they continue to search for a flicker of light that will lead them to their loved one.
Overall, the song captures the vulnerability and passion that come with falling in love, as well as the obstacles and challenges that can make the journey difficult.

I like, listening to rain come down outside
I enjoy hearing the sound of the rain falling outside
The feeling we should run away and hide
The way the rain sounds makes me feel like we should escape and hide
Watching from the windows
I am observing the rain from inside through the windows
I try, following the water down the line, Drawing out a crooked road, in time No one will ever know
I trace the path of the raindrops from the window, creating a winding path, but it will remain unknown to anyone else
But if you feel it, believe it don't let it go Before you see it, you know
Trust your instincts and feelings before you see physical evidence of something
I'll try anything right now
I am willing to attempt anything currently
All through the night
My efforts persist even at night
Still here, holding out
I remain present and persistent
Up high, through the broken clouds
I persist through difficult times
Flicker a light, wherever I might find you
A flash of hope remains lit no matter where I am
Don't say don't say just let me see I'll spend my days learning to breathe
Don't tell me things, let me see for myself and I will learn to cope
In place while the race runs around us
We remain still while others are in a hurry around us
Like rivers run like downpour rain
Things around us flow fast and chaotic like a river or downpour of rain
I fall and crash around this maze I'm in but end in the great love
I stumbled and hit many obstacles on this journey, but I'll end up with great love in the end
Flicker a light, flicker a light
Our hope and love will flicker like a light
