Crimson
Noah Kenton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it's close, is beyond me
Give me a shiner right as the lightning-
Froze, Like my toes -
When the flood started rushing
Well you spilled the blood so drink it up
Show how it goes -
And bark through all the biting though
In the dark, feel at home-
In the morning I'll be sparking gold
Well, now I know that it flows
Oh x7
In the morning I'll be sparking gold
Oh x7
And I can't be stained in crimson clothes
Oh, I was born yet again in a stained coat
Vlad, you've got to let them know
They're slow, they're all slow
And they're mine for the taking
And babe your blood is worth all the waiting
Show how it goes -
And bark through all the biting though
Well, now I know how it flows
In the dark, feel at home-
In the morning I'll be sparking gold
Well, now I know that it flows
Oh x7
In the morning I'll be sparking gold
Oh x7
And I can't be stained in crimson clothes
Won't you let me in?
I can't dine without your permission
So just say the word
Show how it goes -
And bark through all the biting though
Well, now I know how it flows
In the dark, feel at home-
In the morning I'll be sparking gold
Well, now I know that it flows
Oh x7
In the morning I'll be sparking gold
Oh x7
And I can't be stained in crimson clothes
In Noah Kenton's song "Crimson," the lyrics seem to be about a person who has been reborn or reawakened in a way that is both dark and empowering. The lines "though how you know" and "give me a shiner right as the lightning" suggest a sense of uncertainty and chaos, as if the singer is being blasted out of their former life and into a new reality. The references to blood and flooding add to this sense of upheaval and transformation, giving the impression that something intense and powerful is happening.
As the song progresses, the singer seems to be embracing this new reality, feeling "at home" in the darkness and looking forward to "sparking gold" in the morning. There's a sense of being untouchable, even as others try to bite or stain them. The final lines, "won't you let me in? / I can't dine without your permission / so just say the word" suggest a desire for approval or acceptance from someone who may hold power over the singer's life. Overall, "Crimson" seems to be a song about metamorphosis and the idea that it's possible to emerge from a tumultuous period stronger and more confident than before.
