GLADES is the the trio project of Sydney based musicians Karina, Cam and Joey, making their debut in mid 2015 with their single 'Falling Away’. The trio met in high school and are passionate about combining the melodic intricacy of Indie, with the catchiness of Pop; from the reverb-laden guitars of The xx to the synthscapes of CHVRCHES and the beats of Lorde.
Living in Blue
Glades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God, I love how the light hits your face
I know every line
Oh if only you knew
I do
When my plane hit turbulence
I wrote a letter
Am I too scared of turning this
Into something better
When you're losing then what's left to lose
Open your eyes
Cause it feels like I'm living in blue
Do we share the same sky?
Cause it feels like you're living here too
Oh baby don't lie
Do you feel like this when you're with him too?
Open your eyes
Cause it feels like I'm living in blue
Night after night
One light left in the car park
Why can't I say what's on my mind
Oh if only you knew
I do
When my plane hit turbulence
I wrote a letter
But I'd never give it to you
Am I too scared of turning this
Into something better
When you're losing then what's left to lose
Open your eyes
Cause it feels like I'm living in blue
Do we share the same sky?
Cause it feels like you're living here too
Oh baby don't lie
Do you feel like this when you're with him too?
Open your eyes
Cause it feels like I'm living in blue
And in my mind, it's just me and you
And in my mind, it's just me and you
In the song Living in Blue by Glades, the lyrics talk about the complications and difficulties that can arise when being in love with someone who may be in a relationship with someone else. The first verse of the song talks about the vocalist’s love for someone, highlighting the admiration they have for the way the light hits their face. The other person, however, is unaware of these feelings, hence the line “if only you knew, I do”.
The second verse of the song describes the internal struggle the vocalist faces when it comes to expressing their feelings. They write a letter to the person they love but are hesitant to give it to them, fearing that their relationship may turn into something much more significant. The line “When you're losing then what's left to lose” highlights the vulnerability of the person in love, being willing to risk it all for a chance at love.
The chorus of the song speaks of the pain the vocalist feels when they see the person they love with someone else. They question whether they are sharing the same sky as the person they love and whether they feel the same way when they are with the other person. The repetition of the line “Open your eyes” indicates the plea of the vocalist to the other person, asking them to see what is real and true.
Overall, the song highlights the complications of unrequited love and the difficulties of expressing one's feelings. It speaks of the pain of seeing the person you love with someone else and the hope that things may change.
