Watercolor Days
Eggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than just our eyes can see
Beyond that line there's more to find
At least that's what was told to me
So I set out towards the vanishing point
And I'm still on my way
Where I've been begins to blend
The canvas grows and time slows down
I'm home wherever my loves surrounds
As I push myself further
Down the endless road
I can see all the others
That have come here on their own
The landscape takes a new shape
A heavy world turns light
We lift each other up
And follow our farthest sight
The canvas grows and time slows down
I'm home wherever my loves surrounds
I've been told we can open our eyes
Just a little bit wider
Just a little bit more
Well I've been told we can open our eyes
Just a little bit wider
Just a little bit more
The canvas grows and time slows down
I'm home wherever my love surrounds
The lyrics of "Watercolor Days" by Eggy convey a sense of exploration and discovery, as well as the idea that there is more to life than what can be seen with the naked eye. The singer acknowledges that there is a longer road ahead, one that goes beyond what is immediately visible. They embark on this journey towards the "vanishing point," a metaphor for the unknown and uncharted territories of life.
The line "Where I've been begins to blend like watercolor days" suggests that the past becomes less distinct as the journey progresses. The canvas, symbolizing the singer's life, grows and changes, and time seems to slow down. The singer finds a sense of belonging and contentment wherever their love surrounds them, emphasizing the importance of love and connection in their journey.
The second verse reflects on the experiences of others who have also embarked on their own journeys down the endless road. The landscape takes on a new shape, suggesting a shift in perspective or understanding. The singer mentions lifting each other up and following their "farthest sight," implying that collective support and embracing new possibilities are key in this journey.
The repeated refrain "I've been told we can open our eyes just a little bit wider, just a little bit more" encourages the listener to be open-minded and receptive to new experiences and perspectives. The song ultimately suggests that by expanding our horizons and being open to the unknown, we can find a sense of home and fulfillment in the ever-evolving journey of life.

Like Watercolor Days
Similar to the way watercolors blend and create unique colors, my experiences blend to shape my life.
The canvas grows and time slows down
My perception of life expands, and time feels more stretched out and meaningful.
I'm home wherever my love surrounds
As long as I am surrounded by love and affection, I feel at home.
As I push myself further
While I continue to challenge and push myself
Down the endless road
Along the never-ending journey of life
I can see all the others
I am aware of the fellow travelers who have embarked on their own paths.
That have come here on their own
Who have chosen to explore and discover independently.
The landscape takes a new shape
The scenery transforms and evolves
A heavy world turns light
The burdensome aspects of life become lighter and more manageable.
We lift each other up
We support one another
And follow our farthest sight
As we pursue our most distant visions and aspirations.
I've been told we can open our eyes
I have been informed that we have the capacity to broaden our perspective
Just a little bit wider
By only a small degree
Just a little bit more
By a slightly greater extent
The canvas grows and time slows down
The scope of our experiences expands, and time feels more abundant and deliberate.
I'm home wherever my love surrounds
As long as I am embraced by love and affection, I feel a sense of belonging.

Their drummer is so good. He'll be revered as one of the best one they blast through the jam scene. It'll happen
DarKe Live
I love that the drums are mixed as though heard by the drummer. Left to right for a right handed drummer just sounds more natural. Excellent jams!
Wayne Pritchard
Looooove it....

I officially declare Jake the king of palm muting. Dude is locked in!! He's got such a unique tone. It's mellow, it bites, and it isn't too shrill. Eggy ftw
