Collide
HBS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
The lyrics to HBS's song "Collide" depict a relationship in its early stages, where the singer and their partner are still getting to know each other. The opening lines describe the dawn breaking and a light shining through, creating an atmosphere of new beginnings and possibilities. The singer is clearly infatuated with their partner, as they describe themselves as "tangled up" in them, unable to resist their allure.
Despite their strong feelings, the two have different approaches to the relationship. The singer is "open" while their partner is "closed," and the singer worries they won't see their partner's face "light up" again. This uncertainty creates a sense of tension, and the singer acknowledges that even the best relationships have their struggles. However, they find solace in the fact that they and their partner seem to be "colliding" in a way that feels fated and meant to be.
The chorus reinforces this idea of destiny, as the singer sings that "even the best fall down sometimes" and "even the stars refuse to shine," but they keep returning to each other. The final lines of the song are repeated three times, emphasizing the idea that the two are destined to be together.
Overall, the lyrics to "Collide" portray the intensity and uncertainty of early love, and the idea that sometimes, even when things seem difficult or uncertain, relationships have a way of working themselves out.

The dawn is breaking
The beginning of a new day is upon us
A light shining through
The sun is beginning to rise and shine its light
You're barely waking
You've just woken up and are not quite alert yet
And I'm tangled up in you
I am deeply intertwined with you, emotionally and physically
I'm open, you're closed
I am more vulnerable and expressive, while you are more guarded and reserved
Where I follow, you'll go
You are willing to follow me and trust my lead
I worry I won't see your face
I am anxious that you will hide your true self from me
Light up again
Show me your genuine and happy self again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the most successful people can experience failures and setbacks

A mistake can sometimes lead to something beautiful and unexpected
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
Despite the uncertainty and worry in my thoughts
I somehow find
I still manage to come across
You and I collide
Our paths cross and we come together
I'm quiet you know
I am a more introverted and reserved person, as you are aware
You make a first impression
You have a strong and lasting impact on others upon first meeting them
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
I am afraid of the intensity of our connection and how much you think about me
Even the stars refuse to shine
Even the most brilliant and beautiful things can experience moments of darkness or difficulty
Out of the back you fall in time
Despite falling behind or facing challenges
Don't stop here
Let's keep moving forward
I've lost my place
I am unsure of where I am or what direction to take
I'm close behind
But I will keep following you and supporting your choices
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
Despite your own worries and uncertainties
You finally find
You ultimately discover
You and I collide
That we are meant for each other and come together
You finally find
You ultimately discover
You and I collide
That we are meant for each other and come together
You finally find
You ultimately discover
You and I collide
That we are meant for each other and come together
