The Answer
Kodaline/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are
Burning up in our cars
And in our hearts

Better days
Sleeping late, with a headache
Perfect weather
Congregate
Lay in wait for an answer
They're still waiting

With your tea
Lucky states as the day breaks
The blind are leading the blind

Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather
Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather
Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather
Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather

Xenon lights
Dots go dashing the highways
Nothing's moving

Radiates
Everything lasting for seconds
Evaporated

Lover's lips
Drinking late at the station
Smiling faces

Comic weep,
Wiping your face in whatever
There's an answer.

Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather
Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather
Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather




Better, better days with a headache
Perfect weather

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Answer" by Kodaline/Musicfire.in seem to describe a group of people waiting for something or someone, burning up in their cars and their hearts. The first verse suggests that they are waiting for something better, reminiscing of better days where they slept late and the weather was perfect. They congregate and wait for an answer, but they are still waiting. In the chorus, they repeat the phrase "better days with a headache, perfect weather" which could convey both a physical and emotional state. They could be referring to a time when they had everything they wanted, but at the cost of their mental wellbeing. The juxtaposition between "better days" and "headache" could indicate the characters' dissatisfaction with their current situation.

Lucky states as the day breaks

The blind are leading the blind
Sometimes, even when we're seeking guidance, no one has the answers and the journey isn't clear.

Giving a sense of movement, energy, and brightness.


Dots go dashing the highways

A sweet, perhaps fleeting, moment between two people in love.


Drinking late at the station
Enjoying a moment of rest, perhaps after a period of hard work or a long journey.

Despite everything, the hope remains that there will be an answer to the questions we're seeking.
