Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder who you are, who you are
A mother, or daugther of sky

I wonder who you are, who you are
You are painting by numbers so far

I wonder I wonder I wonder I wonder
I wonder I wonder I wonder I wonder

I wonder I wonder I wonder I wonder
I wonder I wonder I wonder I wonder

I wonder who you are, who you are
A mother, or daugther of sky

I wonder who you are, who you are
You are painting by numbers
In the cavnes of stars

I wonder who you are, who you are
A mother, or daugther of sky

I wonder who you are, who you are
You are painting by numbers
In the cavnes of stars





I wonder

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Painting By Numbers" by Moullinex feat. UhAhUh can be interpreted in a few different ways, but ultimately they seem to speak to a sense of wonder and curiosity about the identity and creative output of another person. The singer is pondering who this person is - perhaps a mother or daughter of the sky - and is struck by the fact that they seem to be "painting by numbers." This phrase suggests that the person is following a prescribed set of guidelines or rules when it comes to their artistic expression, which could be a commentary on the limitations imposed on us by society, or on the idea that creativity can sometimes be formulaic and predictable.


Despite these limitations, the singer remains captivated by the person's work, which they describe as being located in the "cavnes of stars." This could be a metaphorical way of describing the person's imagination, or perhaps a reference to the vastness and expansiveness of the cosmos. Either way, the lyrics seem to express a sense of awe and wonder at the mystery and beauty of the universe and the people who inhabit it.


Overall, "Painting By Numbers" is a song that speaks to the human impulse to create and the ways in which we express ourselves within the constraints of our environment and culture. It is a tribute to the power of imagination and the endless possibilities of artistic expression.
