Sway
Colorblind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I have to leave
Thrusty, lusty life
All I want is this
Exploring silence
Think I have to dig
Swimming in the white
Space between my eyes
Sway
Sway yourself away
Make your Buddha play
For another day
And on and IÂâ ¦
Sway
Try to find my way
Oh my mind was curled
In the western world
I'm back in India
I have heard my soul
Knocking on the door
When I lost my faith
In religion
Now I'm standing here
Contemplating me
On a sack of beans
Down in India
Sway
Sway your self away
Make your Buddha play
For another day
And on and on IÂâ ¦.
Sway
Try to find my way
Oh my mind was curled
In the western world
I'm back in India
Having so much fun
Swaying in the sun
I can feel your voice
Penetrating me
I can taste your sweat
In my bloodstream
I can see your sign
On my bedroom wall
Now I know you're here
Breathing in to me
Repeat
I'm back in India
I'm back in India
I'm back in India
I'm back in India

Think I have to leave
I feel the need to depart
Thrusty, lusty life
I am living a life filled with uncontrolled desires
All I want is this
My desire is to find inner peace
Exploring silence
I am seeking a state of tranquility and solitude
Think I have to dig
I must delve deeper into myself
Deeper down this time
I need to go further into my inner consciousness
Swimming in the white
I am immersed in a blank, serene state of mind
Space between my eyes
The distance between my inner and outer world
Sway
Move and dance with the flow of life
Sway yourself away
Let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of existence
Make your Buddha play
Allow your inner peace to bring joy and happiness
For another day
To continue living and experiencing life
Try to find my way
I am searching for my path through life
Oh my mind was curled
My thoughts were twisted and confused
In the western world
In a society governed by materialism and consumerism
I'm back in India
I have returned to a simpler, more spiritual way of life
Having so much fun
I am enjoying life to the fullest
I can feel your voice
I sense a guiding force in my life
Penetrating me
Pervading and influencing my being
I can taste your sweat
I feel the intensity of your presence
In my bloodstream
Your influence is affecting me on a deep, fundamental level
I can see your sign
Your message is clear and visible to me
On my bedroom wall
In a place of intimacy and vulnerability
Now I know you're here
I feel a connection to a higher power
Breathing in to me
My spirit is infused with your essence
I'm back in India
I have found a sense of peace and harmony in spiritual practices
Having so much fun
I am enjoying life in a new and meaningful way
