Noirre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
smiling on a cloudy day,
I'm dreaming while I'm wide awake,
like heaven's only miles away,
I feel like I could die today,
Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na,
I feel like I could die today,
You say goodbye to your lover,
an suddenly you believe,
that in my mind near the summer,
that everything's meant to be...
Fine,
you wanna just drive,
you wanna get high,
you wanna live life while you've got it,
I feel something inside,
a wrong that I'd write,
saying something to you, babe,
If I could be your sunshine,
smiling on a cloudy day,
I'm dreaming while I'm wide awake,
like heaven's only miles away,
I feel like I could die today,
Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na,
I feel like I could die today,
I close my eyes with a shudder,
I don't believe what I see,
we're lost in translation,
one another,
but it's 'nough said when the moments dead,
Fine,
you wanna just drive,
you wanna get high,
you wanna live life while you've got it,
I feel something inside,
a wrong that I'd write,
saying something to you, babe,
If I could be your sunshine,
smiling on a cloudy day,
I'm dreaming while I'm wide awake,
like heaven's only miles away,
I feel like I could die today,
Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na,
I feel like I could die today,
(We're lost in translation, one another)
(But it's 'nough said when the moments dead)
The song "Lit" by Noirre is a dreamy, pop-infused meditation on the fleeting nature of life, as well as the search for happiness and the human need for connection. The song opens with the line "If I could be your sunshine, smiling on a cloudy day," which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is imagining a perfect world, in which he can be a source of warmth and light for someone else, even on the darkest days. The repeated refrain of "I feel like I could die today" echoes this idea, suggesting that the moment is so intensely beautiful that it could be his last.
The second verse of the song introduces a different perspective - that of someone who has just said goodbye to a lover. This person is searching for meaning, and is struck by a sense of optimism as they contemplate the future. The chorus then returns, with its call to live life to the fullest and embrace every moment as it comes. The final lines of the song - "We're lost in translation, one another / But it's 'nough said when the moments dead" - suggest a sense of melancholy or regret, as if the singer is acknowledging that despite our efforts to connect with one another, there will always be moments that slip away.
Overall, "Lit" is a haunting and memorable song that captures the highs and lows of human experience. It encourages listeners to embrace the present moment, to seek out happiness wherever they can find it, and to remember that even in the darkest times, there is always hope for something brighter.
