Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd try to find a thousands way to prove you wrong
Falling on my face
I'm chasing all the lines of your skin
And all your perowet mistakes
So dance until your broken
Ignore the fight inside that scares you
[Chorus]
Look before you end it all
Look before you shut your eyes
For the last time
Theres no more room to go back down
Your picture trends in black and white
I will show you what it's like
Let them say all that they want
I'll wipe away your painted wings
Until your heros come
If you doubt it'll look so
Then the venom in your eyes will control you
Well I hate pouring my heart out
When it's fading fast
And streaming down your leg
[Chorus]
She whispers in his ear
Don't hurt me, don't forget me
Dont hurt me, I'm still not properly together
[Chorus]
Your picture trends in black and white
I will show you what it's like
(2x)
I am right here and im waiting
I can see you but you cant see me (16x)
The lyrics to Evan Blue's song "Painted" seem to be describing a situation where someone is trying to save another person who is grappling with feelings of hopelessness or despair. The singer of the song is making an effort to persuade this person to reconsider their decision to give up on life. The phrase "if I could find the time to speak, I'd try to find a thousand ways to prove you wrong" suggests that the singer wishes they could find more time to persuade the person to continue living.
Later on in the song, the lyrics suggest that the person the singer is trying to help is struggling with some aspect of their past or present, something that is represented by the "lines of your skin and all your precious mistakes." Despite this, the singer urges the person to "dance until you're broken" and "ignore the fight inside that scares you." Essentially, the singer believes that the person should keep moving forward, even if things are difficult, and not give up.
As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the person the singer is trying to help is experiencing doubt and fear. The mention of "the venom in your eyes" seems to suggest that the person is either feeling angry or feeling the effects of someone else's anger. Nevertheless, the singer of the song remains steadfast and committed to helping this person, promising to "show you what it's like" and to be there for them through thick and thin.
Overall, the song "Painted" is a moving and emotional tribute to the power of friendship and the strength of the human spirit. It suggests that even in our darkest moments, it's possible to find hope and help if we're willing to reach out and ask for it.
