Amber
Labyrinth Ear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red and yellow and green,
Twisting and blurring,
Twisting and blurring,

Red and yellow and green,
Twisting and blurring,
Twisting and blurring,
Clouds are billowing from you,
I dip my hand into the swirling mist,
What about the life you had hoped?
Say you will keep on hoping,

Red and yellow and green
Twisting and blurring
Twisting and blurring
Red and yellow and green
Twisting and blurring
Twisting and blurring

You said we're all snow
We're all snow
We're all snow
And I am a damson
I am a damson
I am a damson
But I feel so small

The lives gone and lives to come,
The lives gone and lives to come,
The lives gone and lives to come,
The lives gone and lives to come,
Tangerine lights droplets refracting,
Tangerine lights droplets refracting,
Tangerine lights droplets refracting,
Tangerine lights droplets refracting,

Refracting,
Refracting,

The lives gone and lives to come,
The lives gone and lives to come,




The lives gone and lives to come,
The lives gone and lives to come.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Labyrinth Ear's "Amber" paint a vivid picture of a colorful, swirling, misty landscape. The repeated refrain of "red and yellow and green, twisting and blurring" conjures up an image of a psychedelic vortex, perhaps representing the overwhelming nature of emotions or experiences. The clouds billowing from "you" could represent a person, a relationship, or even a drug-induced state of mind. The singer dips their hand into the swirling mist, perhaps trying to grasp at something elusive or intangible.


The next lines shift to a more introspective tone, as the singer asks about the "life you had hoped" and encourages the listener to keep on hoping despite uncertainty. The repeated line "we're all snow" suggests a feeling of smallness and fleetingness, like individual snowflakes that eventually melt away. The comparison to a damson, a type of plum, perhaps suggests a sense of maturation and growth within this sense of smallness.


The final lines circles back to the refrain, emphasizing the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of life. The tangerine lights droplets refracting could represent the passing of time, a reminder that life is constantly moving and changing.


Overall, the lyrics of "Amber" convey a sense of wonder and uncertainty, a mixture of joy and sadness in the face of life's transience.
