Creating music that has one foot in the indie genre and one foot in a darker electronic realm, Crooked Coloursโ sound has often been compared to a combination of English indie-rock foursome Alt J and US electronic duo Crystal Castles.
To date the band has been fortunate enough to play at Parklife, Wonderland and St Jerome's Laneway festivals, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Flume, Grafton Primary and PNAU. 2013 also saw Crooked Colours support RรFรS on their sold out national tour.
Crooked Colours will be releasing their 'In Your Bones' EP featuring their hit track 'Come Down' in May this year through Sweat It Out Music! before a full Australian tour in July
Hold On
Crooked Colours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me that it's all alright
Tell me that I seem just fine
Sipping on a sunrise
And I'll show you
Tell you a little 'bout myself
Tell you all about the coast
Tonight,
When I think of you I feel alive
Come and hold me, let me close my eyes
I die, I feel alive
Here, tonight
When I think of you I feel alive
Come and hold me, let me close my eyes
I die, I feel alive
Come on, step in,
Do it, feel it
I want, my heart
Will I see it?
I feel alive
Come on, step in
Do it, feel it
I want, my heart
Will I see it?
Maybe I'll show you what's new
Pull you aside, I'll come for you
Swaying on that rocky shore
Tell me now, what are we waiting for?
'Cause part of me, needs part of you
And all of me will see it through
So take your pace, amongst the tide
Next to me, feel alive
Feel alive
Here, tonight,
When I think of you I feel alive
Come and hold me, let me close my eyes
I die, I feel alive
Here, tonight,
When I think of you I feel alive
Come and hold me, let me close my eyes
I die, I feel alive
Come on, step in
Do it, feel it
I want, my heart
Will I see it?
I feel alive
Come on, step in
Do it, feel it
I want, my heart
Will I see it?
I feel alive
Come on, step in
Do it, feel it
I want, my heart
Will I see it?
I feel alive
Come on, step in
Do it, feel it
I want, my heart
Will I see it?
The lyrics to Crooked Colours's song Hold On convey a sense of yearning for connection and validation. The opening lines express a desire to be reassured that everything is alright and that the singer appears fine. The imagery of sipping on a sunrise is evocative of a moment of gentle beauty and contemplation. The chorus sings of feeling alive when thinking of the other person, and the desire to be held and close one's eyes. The repeated phrase "I feel alive" underscores the powerful impact that the other person has on the singer's emotional state.
The verses offer more specifics about the singer's life and interests, suggesting that they are trying to share themselves with the other person. They describe the coast and other things that are beloved, possibly trying to find common ground with the person they are singing to. The bridge, which begins with "Come on, step in," feels like an invitation to take a chance on this connection, to feel something new and exciting. The final lines "Will I see it?" suggests a fragile hope that this desire for connection will be reciprocated.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the human need for connection and the rush of emotions that come with finding it.
