Amethyst Days
Labyrinth Ear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show me a life?
A cheap hotel and a bottle of wine,
They're running away,
They're running away,
They're running away,
They're running away,
Purple hollows engulf your eyes and,
Dark circles surround you and,
You're shy and so sly and,
Light is dulled from your eyes but,
You seemed so real,
A mere imitation but,
Grab me and take me,
Show me your life,
The life,
The life,
They're running away,
They're running away,
They're running away,
They're running away,
Wallowing and decaying,
While we are decaying,
Wallowing and decaying,
While we are decaying.
The lyrics of Labyrinth Ear's song Amethyst Days paint a vivid picture of the desire to escape the mundanity of everyday life and seek out new experiences. The opening lines "Can you take me out? Show me a life?" express a yearning for adventure and excitement. The reference to a "cheap hotel and a bottle of wine" suggests a desire for simplicity, indicating that sometimes the most fulfilling experiences are the ones that are uncomplicated.
The repetition of the line "They're running away" creates a sense of urgency and restlessness. It could be interpreted as a reflection of the desire to break free from the constraints of daily routines and explore the unknown. The melancholic image of "purple hollows engulfing your eyes" and "dark circles surrounding you" could be seen as a metaphor for feeling trapped in one's own life or routine. The description of light being dulled from the eyes could be interpreted as a loss of passion or a lack of motivation.
Overall, the song Amethyst Days captures the yearning for adventure and new experiences that many people feel at some point in their lives. The imagery used in the lyrics paints a picture of both the desire to break free from routine as well as the sense of decay that comes when we become too stagnant.

I ve been listening to your music since I ve heard humble bones on Awkward, which was ages ago, probably 8 years ago. Your music is something I will never be tired of. Amethyst days is song of my life, song of my day, song of my night. Song to be happy, song to be sad. To cry, to laugh. If someone would ask me to describe myself with a song, it would be this tune.

Amethyst days is my favorite. The music is just majestic. The intro seems like a sound of the skies to me.

@TheKostick yes! I can imagine a lovely sunny day with few clouds and the sound of airplanes
TheKostick
@Dominika Urbanová Exactly! Back then I was thinking about the airplanes too. Sometimes I remembered my dreams, when I flew out of my home's window and straight into the sunset.
A Skeleton that is both Spooky and Scary
This song is life.
