Colors In Array
Future of Forestry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The disarray of things that I can only hold or see
For today You shine Your light
What You say that’s more than words is spoken in your eyes
Colors in array
Willshow themselves before we fly away
Colors in array
For love and for the day
For love, for truth, for life, and all eternity
For this song You shine Your light
For this song that’s more than words will reach into Your eyes
Colors in array
Willshow themselves before we fly away
Colors in array
The above lyrics are from the song "Colors In Array" by Future of Forestry. The song speaks about the beauty that surrounds us in life and how it is not limited to just what we can see or hold. The first stanza talks about how the world may seem chaotic, but there is a greater purpose and meaning behind it all. The light that shines is not just physical but also spiritual, and it is through this spiritual light that we can truly see the beauty that surrounds us.
The chorus speaks about the colors in array which will show themselves before we fly away. This can be interpreted as the beauty of life that we often take for granted, but it is important to cherish and appreciate the beauty before it is too late. The second stanza speaks about the importance of love, truth, life and eternity, and how this song (referring to the song itself) shines light on these values. The song is meant to reach into the listener's eyes and touch their souls.
Overall, "Colors In Array" is a beautiful song that reminds us to appreciate the beauty in life, both physical and spiritual. The lyrics encourage us to live in the moment and cherish the colors of life before they fade away.
