1987
Flyying Colours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smooth like a baby's breath
Your love for me will always be
Confidential to me
Oh, to look like
The lyrics to Flyying Colours's song "1987" seem to touch on the idea of secrecy and intimacy within a relationship. The opening lines describe the love between the two individuals as something that is confidential and smooth, using the analogy of a baby's kiss and breath. The word "confidential" here could refer to a promise or understanding between the couple to keep their relationship private and exclusive. This could be seen as a way to protect the vulnerability and trust between them.
The chorus continues with the repetition of the word "confidential", emphasizing the importance of this idea within the relationship. The final line "oh, to look like" leaves the lyrics unfinished, suggesting that there is more to the story that is left unsaid. This could represent the unspoken feelings and emotions that the couple share, things that are too intimate or difficult to put into words.

Confidential as a baby's kiss
Sealed tightly and unrevealed to anyone else but us
Smooth like a baby's breath
A delicate and soothing sensation that we'll cherish till death
Your love for me will always be
Our bond will remain untouchable and unbreakable
Confidential to me
As long as we keep it confidential between us
Oh, to look like a picture in the past
To resemble an image from years gone by
When we were just a couple of kids
Innocent and carefree
With no idea what the future resides
Uncertain of what is yet to come
Now we're standing here with our hearts on our sleeves
Bearing our emotions for all to perceive

I absolutely adore this type of rock/shoegazing. It is so happy and yet melancholy. It makes me feel like being the same person I am right now: a soul searching college student that wants to make a living doing what he loves and hopes to fall in love with someone who loves this type of music too.
@guiradete
absolutely beautiful. I've found love, but i totally got you, pally. Perfect description. Cheers!
@user-zp3rk9rd5v
where are you now?
@CuddlyJon
@@user-zp3rk9rd5v Wow! I wrote this 4 years ago huh? :) I'm still a shoegazer... and a punk rocker that appreciates all music. I still love this music because it's such a perfect representation of those younger adult years.
I am out of college now. I've reached stability: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But I am always soul searching :) Not that I haven't found myself, but just because I feel like there's always more to learn.
I am currently doing what I love for a living. I love my job, every day that I go in I feel blessed that I get paid to help people.
I still haven't found that special someone who loves this music, though, haha. I am trying to date currently, haven't been too successful, but I don't mind it at all :) It will all come in time. But for right now, I "can sleep without [those] sounds in my head." And it's been very beautiful :)

In a perfect imaginary world, its summer 1993 and Flyying Colours are on a world tour with Chapterhouse...

I love how wild the drummer gets on this one. And that main melody line riff, something about it is so nostalgic. Takes me back to the 90s.
@mangoman2148
Guitar riff feels like a cool waterfall on a hot day. Cleanses the soul and flushes my troubles away.
