Kaleidoscope
Jacob Steele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the deep
Sky to my feet
Can't see the ground
Can't make a sound

Oh and the radio sighs
Oh and the flickering lights
Falling asleep
Sky to my feet

I can't keep away
Sunlight on my face
Dance through diamond haze
Haze, Haze

Flight through starry scapes
Melt the dark away
Spirit surf the waves
Waves, Waves

Turning a kaleidoscope
Look at all the embers glow
Watching as the Fire explodes
Turning in a 
Turning in a
Turning in a

Truth into view
All things are new
Out from the clay
Free of the weight

Oh and the melodies rise
And the clouds pass by





Life is infused
All things are new
