Luminous Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So i let your palm getting warm again
You look chilled in ragged jeans
I see you inhaling the wind
I shut my eyes so quick to keep this whole scene within
You're tearing the strings off your guitar
The sonic noise piercing through my ears
Dark as the shadow of spanish painting
You're in the shadow of daydreaming
White as the silence of your being
The lyrics of Luminous Orange's song Turbo R depict a beautiful scene of the singer and their companion in a chilly weather. The first few lines highlight how the dry wind has taken away the warmth from the companion's hand, but the singer takes it upon themselves to bring back that warmth by holding their palm. The image of the companion wearing ragged jeans and inhaling the wind portrays a sense of vulnerability and sensitivity. The singer then closes their eyes to capture the moment and savour it for a little longer.
The lines "You're tearing the strings off your guitar, The sonic noise piercing through my ears" depict the companion playing the guitar and the music piercing through the singer's ears in a beautiful and resonant way. The companion seems to be lost in their own world, daydreaming and enveloped in their thoughts. The description of the companion's shadow being dark as that of a Spanish painting seems to evoke a sense of mystery and melancholy. The last line, "White as the silence of your being," encapsulates the serene and peaceful nature of the companion's being.

The dry wind has stolen warmth off your hand
Your hand feels cold because the dry wind has taken away its warmth
So i let your palm getting warm again
I hold your hand to make it warm again
You look chilled in ragged jeans
You appear cold while wearing worn-out jeans
I see you inhaling the wind
I observe you taking in the cool breeze
I shut my eyes so quick to keep this whole scene within
I close my eyes immediately to savor and preserve this moment in my memory
You're tearing the strings off your guitar
You're playing your guitar so intensely that the strings are breaking
The sonic noise piercing through my ears
The loud sound of your guitar is hurting my ears
You're in the shadow look like dreaming
You appear to be lost in a dream while standing in the shadows
Dark as the shadow of spanish painting
You look as dark as the shadows depicted in Spanish paintings
You're in the shadow of daydreaming
You appear to be daydreaming while standing in the shadows
White as the silence of your being
You look so calm and peaceful, as white as the silence inside you
