Half Past You
Elane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that wants to run and hide
watching the sky with you
best thing I can do tonight...
I know stories
that you've never heard before
And as autumn leaves a trace
beautiful blue in dancing leaves
won't you please heal my disease?
And it feels like you're a ghost
nobody ses and no-one know
in your eyes a golden maze
when warm and cold embrace
Now it's half past you - flashback of scenes
it's slipping away and so far out of reach
The lyrics of Elane's song Half Past You seem to be about a person who is trying to connect with someone they care about who seems to be hiding a part of themselves. The first few lines suggest that there is a childlike part of this person that they are keeping hidden or repressed, and that the singer wants to help them access it. Watching the sky together seems to be a way of building connection, and the singer claims to know stories that the other person has never heard before, suggesting that they have a deep understanding of them.
The second verse references autumn and colorful light, stating that this beautiful scene won't heal the singer's disease, which could mean any number of things, from a literal illness to a metaphorical pain that the singer is experiencing. The chorus seems to describe the other person as a ghost, someone who is there but not fully present, with a golden maze in their eyes that the singer wants to navigate. The final line, "now it's half past you," could suggest that the singer feels like time is running out to connect with this person before they are lost to them forever.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a desire for connection and honesty, but an acknowledgement that it might be difficult or impossible to achieve.
Line by Line Meaning
There is a child in you
There is a part of you that is innocent and carefree
that wants to run and hide
That wants to escape and avoid all the problems of the world
watching the sky with you
Spending time with you, enjoying the simple things in life like looking at the sky
best thing I can do tonight...
The best thing I can do for you right now is to be here with you
I know stories
I know things about life
that you've never heard before
That you may not have experienced or learned about in your life so far
And as autumn leaves a trace
Just like how leaves fall and change during the season of autumn
colourful light upon your face
The beauty of nature shines upon your face, brightening and bringing joy into your life
beautiful blue in dancing leaves
The stunning blue colour of some leaves as they twirl and dance in the wind
won't you please heal my disease?
Can you please help heal my pain and suffering and bring happiness into my life?
And it feels like you're a ghost
It seems like you're not really there or not present in this moment
nobody sees and no-one knows
No one understands or knows what you're going through
in your eyes a golden maze
The complexities and mysteries of life are reflected in your eyes
when warm and cold embrace
When opposite feelings coexist, like love and pain
Now it's half past you - flashback of scenes
Now it's halfway through who you used to be as you reflect on past events
it's slipping away and so far out of reach
Those moments and feelings are slipping away and seem impossible to get back
