Turns To Gray
Ill Niño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unless you learn to stand up without shutting up
You will never learn to start speaking up
Unless you learn to arise without
(Sacrifice) you know that I bleed for you
(Give me life) you know that I side with you
(I bleed) you know that I'd die for you
How much more will you take
When all is turning to grey?
How much more will you wait
When it goes astray?
How much more can you take
When all is slipping away?
How much more till you break?
I know we're not afraid
You will never learn to stop lashing out
Unless you learn get up and start giving up
You will never learn to start pushing out
Unless you learn to take care through this
(Sacrifice) you know that I bleed for you
(Give me life) you know that I side with you
(I bleed) you know that I'd die for you
But I don't know
How much more will you take
When all is turning to grey?
How much more will you wait
When it goes astray?
How much more can you take
When all is slipping away?
How much more till you break?
I know we're not afraid
Give me life
You know that I'll bleed for you
You know that I'll die by you
Die by you
I wipe the blood that stains my face
Give me life
I carve the wound to state my case
Give me life
I separate myself
Give me life
I separate myself
Give me life
Sacrifice
Give my life
I'll die by you
The song "Turns to Gray" by Ill Niño focuses on the theme of resilience and the struggle to hold on during difficult times. The lyrics talk about the importance of standing up, speaking up and giving up while facing dark times. The first stanza of the song describes how standing up without shutting up and arising without sacrifice is important to learn how to stop falling down and start speaking up. It states that sometimes we need to stand up even without any assurance of success, as standing up and speaking up is what builds character and strength.
The chorus of the song is an invocation to hold on and stay alive during times when everything seems to be going astray. The singer questions "How much more will you take when all is turning to gray?" and encourages people to hold on, as we are not afraid. The second stanza explores this theme more deeply and talks about giving up, taking care, and pushing out as things that we need to learn to do to overcome adversity. The repeated refrain, "Sacrifice, give my life, I'll die by you," further drives home the message of standing up for oneself and others, even if it comes at a cost.
Overall, the song is a call to action to hold on to hope during dark times and push through adversity. It encourages listeners to stand up, speak up, give up, and take care while facing difficulties. Through its lyrics, the song urges us to stay resilient, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles.
