The Sky
Luminous Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ssee you say something ,can't hear them
*now the morning Sun's waiting to rise,
(i'm) wide awake and freezing
The sky have all the shades of blue,clear enough to cry
If fears and tears were the only things,
Which could move your heart
[remember the pettern of your shirts
I couldn't keep my eyes open
'cos the Sun was too sharp]
*[were you smilimg? were you crying?
I've lost my way to get back where we were]
The pale moon is floating in dawning sky
Now i wish,i only wish you ease me
*when you raised your eyes,you're smiling
Looked into my eyes
We listened to the ebb and flow of the distant sea
You whispered to me that i was like sweet to your heart
Your hasky voice made me a little sad
[the black and white photographs reminds
Me of that cloudy silver skies
Were you really there? where you really talking to me?
We've lost our way to get back where we were]
Now i've forgotten many thing
Hard to find the way to say to you,see the sky
Now i wish,i only wish you ease me
But the night wing,only brings dead silence
The song "The Sky" by Luminous Orange speaks of a longing for someone who is no longer there. The lyrics suggest the singer is remembering a time when they were with this person and the sky was clear with all shades of blue, but now the morning sun feels cold and they are "wide awake and freezing". The use of imagery and metaphors in the lyrics showcases the singer's deep emotional connection with the memories associated with the person who is no longer present. The singer struggles to remember certain aspects of their past interactions, such as the pattern on their shirts, and the tone of the song is nostalgic and melancholic.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer and the person they are longing for have lost their way and cannot find their way back together. They ask if the person was smiling or crying and if they were really there, wondering if it was just a dream. The pale moon floating in the dawning sky holds a romantic sense of hope, and the singer wishes the person could ease their pain.
Overall, "The Sky" is a beautiful, introspective song that explores themes of loss and longing through intricate, poetic lyrics.
