Sound
Luka Bloom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving into a grey, grey evening
Drive into a good New Year feeling
It doesn't need to mean a thing
When you sing, when you sing

Put a foot upon a spade
Spade into the ground
Follow the trail of worms
Until the rhythm's found
Wait until the words come down
Sound

Sing your day away
Sing your day away and dream away
Sing your day away
Sing your day away and dream away

Walking through the winter trees
Naked branches in the loss of leaves
Naked in the wind and rain
No escaping winter's waiting game

Put a foot upon a spade
Spade into the ground
Follow the trail of worms
Until the rhythm's found
Wait until the words come down
Sound

Sing your day away
Sing your day away and dream away
Sing your day away




Sing your day away and dream away
Dream away...

The song begins with a description of driving into a "grey, grey evening" and finding a "good New Year feeling," which suggests a sense of optimism and resolution despite the bleakness of the surrounding environment.

Here, the lyrics suggest a sense of vulnerability and powerlessness in the face of the changing seasons, a reminder that life is inherently impermanent and subject to natural rhythms beyond our control. However, the chorus offers a counterpoint to this melancholy mood, urging the listener to "sing your day away and dream away." In this way, the song suggests that music can serve as a powerful tool for transcending the limitations of our physical reality and finding moments of joy and beauty in the face of adversity.
