Colony House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many tears we go through, how many times we forget
It's not a puzzle to uncover, just the life that we live
Always changing
One, two
I've told you that I need you
Three, four
More of joy and less of sadness
More of love and less of madness
Baby, I am yours
Baby, you are mine
Nothing is changing
And I'm trying my best not to let it all slip away
How many shots can we blow, how many games can we play
It's not a test that we're failing, just the choices we've made
Always changing
One, two
I've told you that I need you
Yes I have
Three, four
Give me just a little bit
More of joy and less of sadness
More of love and less of madness
Baby, I am yours
Baby, you are mine
Baby, give me
More of knowing joy in sadness
More of feeling love in the madness
Baby, I am yours
Baby, you are mine
Nothing is changing
Those words that don't exist
So how can we define this feeling?
It's natural to resist it
If you can read me, baby, lean a little closer
One, two
I've told you that I need you, yeah
Three, four
Give me just a little bit more
Five, six
Come on, let's talk about it
Seven, eight
Don't hesitate
Just give me a little bit
More of joy and less of sadness
More of love and less of madness
Baby, I am yours
Baby, you are mine
Baby, give me
More of knowing joy in sadness
More of feeling the love in the madness
Baby, I am yours
Baby, you are mine, woah
Baby, I am yours
Baby, you are mine, yeah
Baby, I am yours
Baby, you are mine
And that's never changing
The lyrics to Colony House's song 1234 are a tribute to the ups and downs of life, the joys and sorrows, and the love that endures despite it all. The song speaks of the inevitability of change and the ebb and flow of life, represented by the constant push and pull of the dreams we set for ourselves. The lyrics take the form of a conversation between two people who are committed to each other, pledging their love and asking for more of the good things in life and less of the bad. The song acknowledges the challenges of life and the need for resilience to make it through the tough times. The final lines of the song affirm the steadfastness of their love and the fact that it will never change.
The chorus of the song is particularly evocative, with the repetition of the numbers one, two, three, four. This repetition serves to emphasize the need for more of certain things in life, such as joy and love, and less of others, such as sadness and madness. The song is an uplifting tribute to the power of love to sustain us through life's ups and downs, and a reminder that we should always strive for more joy and love in our lives.

It's the push and the pull of all the dreams that we've set
The mix of motivation and resistance we feel towards achieving our aspirations
How many tears we go through, how many times we forget
The difficulty and struggle we have to keep going, and how we may lose sight of our goals
It's not a puzzle to uncover, just the life that we live
Complicated as it may seem, life just happens as it goes
Always changing
The only constant is change itself
One, two
I've told you that I need you

Baby, you are mine
Nothing is changing
Expressing desire for a better, happier relationship, yet feeling reassured that both parties are committed to staying together
And I'm trying my best not to let it all slip away
Struggling to keep things intact, be it relationships or one's dreams and aspirations
How many shots can we blow, how many games can we play
Worries regarding how long we can keep trying before we give up
It's not a test that we're failing, just the choices we've made
It's not an exam; there's no 'passing' or 'failing,' there are just consequences to the choices we make

So how can we define this feeling?
Trying to make sense of something that may not have an exact explanation or vocabulary to describe it
It's natural to resist it
If you can read me, baby, lean a little closer
Our instinct is to resist the unknown, the uncomfortable, but perhaps if we open up and communicate with each other, we may find it easier to understand and accept
