Celeste
Ezra Vine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coaxing the words from and the earth and dirt and
I saw the muse but the words just wouldn't come
It's been a while since I saw you at New Year
Holding your breathe your eyes upon the second and
The way you looked a still vision to me
You’re something out of a dream
Messing with my head
Are hiding coz I like the way you're calling to me
You stare upon me
You’re something out of a dream
And I like it though I fight it
It took a while for the medicine to sink in
Blow out the fog and remove all the cobwebs
Now I'm clear I can hear myself think straight
I'm moving road with my clothes in a ruck sack
Over my shoulder following the whispers
People ask me I'm going in such haste
And I say
My girls a switchblade I'm brighten eyed
On the city scape
where ever she goes
I'm gonna chase
You’re something out of a dream
Messing with my head
And I've been looking for you
Are hiding coz I like the way you're calling to me
You stare upon me
You’re something out of a dream
And I like it though I fight it
You’re something out of a dream
You’re something out of a dream
In "Celeste," Ezra Vine is expressing his deep emotion and frustration about his struggle to write lyrics by using metaphors and analogies. He talks about sitting in a field of pine trees and trying to coax the words from the earth but he couldn't come up with anything. He saw his muse, but the words just wouldn't come to him. The song then shifts to talk about a woman named Celeste who Vine seems to be infatuated with. She is something out of a dream and she messes with his head. He has been looking for her, but she is hiding. He likes the way she calls to him, and she is something out of a dream that he is fighting.
The song then turns to Vine's journey to find Celeste. He talks about how it took him a while to overcome his fog and remove all his cobwebs. He is now clear and can hear himself think straight. He is moving on the road with his clothes in a ruck sack over his shoulder, following the whispers that lead him to her. People ask him where he is going in such a haste, and he can only say that his girl is a switchblade, and he is following her wherever she goes.
In all, "Celeste" is a song about struggle, infatuation, and following one's dreams. It tells of the difficult process of creating art, while at the same time, trying to deal with intense emotions. The song is a beautiful reminder that sometimes we have to fight our doubts to achieve our goals.

Lyrics:
I was sitting in a field of pine trees
coaxing the words from the earth and the dirt
I sought a muse but the words just wouldn’t come
It’s been a while since I saw you at New Year
holding your breath, your eyes upon the second hand
the way you looked is still vivid to me
You’re something out of a dream
messing with my head
I've been looking for you
are ya hiding?
cos I like the way you’re calling to me
your spell upon me
you’re something out of a dream
and I like it, though I fight it
It took a while for the medicine to sink in
blow out the fog and remove all the cobwebs
now I’m clear I can hear myself think straight
I’m on the road with my clothes in a rucksack
over my shoulder following the whispers
people ask me where I’m going in such haste
and I say
My girl’s a switchblade
a bright light on the cityscape
wherever she goes I’m gonna chase
You’re something out of a dream
messing with my head
I've been looking for you
are ya hiding?
cos I like the way you’re calling to me
your spell upon me
you’re something out of a dream
and I like it, though I fight it

Beautiful animation
This is the kind of song you blast in the middle of nowhere on a roadtrip with the windows down
@anoushkakumar3685
P1tri0t exactly! do you any other songs with the same type of feel?
@AmazingTNT
Anoushka Kumar sorry I don't, unless you don't know twin forks (they have sort of pop-folk feel too if that's what you're looking for)
@JeremeK
+Anoushka Kumar I suggest Empire of the Sun, and Foster the People.
