The Answer
Kodaline/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burning up in our cars
And in our hearts
Better days
Sleeping late, with a headache
Perfect weather
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
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.
