Luminous Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every single flower won't be found anywhere
Rises the blue moon over battle ground
Lays bathing sapphire moonlight
Every single night turns out an utter nightmare
Every single flower won't be found anywhere
Looking into their big luminous eyes (massive planes across the sky)
Desiring to see their luminous smiles (chronic pain spoils the light)
Every single child will turn to scarlet flower
Every single flower won't be found anywhere in the sand
You barely see the shafts of light
Lay bathing sapphire moonlight
Every single night turns out an utter nightmare
Every single flower won't be found anywhere
Massive planes across the sky ceaseless fears spoil the shine
Every single child will turn to scarlet flower
Every single flower won't be found anywhere in the sand
Hangs the blue moon over barren land
Lays bathing sapphire moonlight
Every single child will turn to scarlet flower
Every single flower won't be found anywhere
Every single life , and every single love, ever fading hue. ever fading sky
Neverlasting lament,and neverlasting hatred
Neverlasting feud ,won't be found anywhere
The lyrics of Luminous Orange's song "Every Single Child" are poetic and metaphorical, with a hauntingly sad tone. The chorus repeatedly declares that every single child will turn to scarlet flower, and every single flower won't be found anywhere. The metaphor of the scarlet flower represents the loss of innocence and the pain and suffering that every child will inevitably face. The verses further explore this theme, describing a blue moon rising over a battlefield and sapphire moonlight bathing a barren land. The song portrays a bleak and hopeless vision of the world, in which every night is an utter nightmare and massive planes across the sky represent ceaseless fears that spoil the shine.
The second verse shifts focus to the desire to see their luminous smiles, possibly hinting at the hope that lies within these children despite the pain and tragedy they will face. However, the repetition of the chorus suggests that this hope will ultimately be fruitless, as every single child will turn to scarlet flower and every single flower won't be found anywhere in the sand. The bridge adds to the despair, describing a neverlasting lament, neverlasting hatred, and neverlasting feud that won't be found anywhere.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on the cycle of pain and loss that exists in the world, particularly for children who face challenges and struggles they are not equipped to handle. The metaphor of the scarlet flower symbolizes the ultimate loss of innocence and the impossibility of changing the harsh realities of the world.
