Battleship Grey
Hawkshaw Kirsty Lyrics

It's battleship grey outside
The weather outside is dull and colorless, reflecting the uncertainty and confusion of the situation.

And we don't know what we'll be getting
The future is uncertain, and it's impossible to predict what will happen next.

All your sweet talking, raining over me
Someone is trying to persuade the singer with empty words and promises.

‘Til my name escapes, and I'm set free
The artist realizes that they need to break free from this influence and reclaim their identity and autonomy.

There's a word in your eye,
The other person is conveying something through their expression or gaze.

But I don't know what is to say it
The singer cannot decipher or understand the hidden message being communicated.

And when you call me from the other side,
The other person is reaching out, possibly from a distant or disconnected place or perspective.

A sense of it starts breaking up, and its lies
The connection is unreliable or unstable, and the artist suspects that the other person is not being truthful or honest.

I don't know, what I'm getting,
The artist is confused and uncertain about the situation and their own feelings or intentions.

But I'm getting something,
Despite the confusion and uncertainty, the artist senses that there is some kind of meaning or significance to the situation.

Confusion, all this is for the gods
The singer is overwhelmed by the complexity and uncertainty of the situation, which seems beyond human control or understanding.

Uncertainty, I could be bathing under artificial light
The artist realizes that they may be deluding themselves or pretending that everything is alright, even though they are aware of their own uncertainty and doubt.

Under twilight blue, starts to mesmerize
The beauty and serenity of the evening sky offers a temporary escape from the confusion and anxiety of the situation.

And I tell myself that you light up my life
The singer tries to convince themselves that the other person brings joy and brightness to their life, even though they are aware of the doubts and uncertainties in the relationship.

But its all in the mind when you cannot see in the eyes
The singer acknowledges that their own perceptions and beliefs may be based on illusions or wishful thinking, and that they cannot trust their own emotions or instincts.
