Walk On By
Noosa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run when the rhythm's right
Go into the night
Go until you're out of sight
And you're out of my mind

Run when the rhythm's right
Go into the night
Floating as the river flows
Easy as it goes to the ocean

So walk on by
I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do

So walk on by
I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do

You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eyes
You go and run, I'll hide
You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
I don't ever wanna be crowned just another prize
It breaks my heart

Heart
Breaks my heart

You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eyes
You go and run, I'll hide
You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
I don't ever wanna be crowned just another prize
It breaks my heart

My heart

Lost in the midnight blue shadows of the moon
Here with open arms for you, feeling something so new
Said with me you'd reach the sun
Oh but we were so young
Love me 'till the summer's done
But keep me in your heart so I hold on

So walk on by
I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do

So walk on by
I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do

You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eyes
You go and run, I'll hide
You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
I don't ever wanna be crowned just another prize
It breaks my heart

(Colors of the sky)

Heart
Breaks my heart

You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eyes
You go and run, I'll hide
You're showing me colors of the sky
But all I see gray
You lost me when you lied
I don't ever wanna be crowned just another prize
It breaks my heart

My heart

Shook me to the ground now and some how
I feel like you don't know me
Shook me to the ground now I don't even know how
Brought me to a life that you never showed me
Coming from a locked up ghost of yourself
But you're coming from the light




There's more to you then you ever thought there was
Yeah you're coming from the light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Noosa's song "Walk On By" describes a failed relationship where the singer admits that there is no reason for her to love the person who deceived her, but she still does. The song begins with the lines, "Run when the rhythm's right, Go into the night" which suggests that the singer is trying to move on from the failed relationship. The lyrics "Floating as the river flows, Easy as it goes to the ocean" indicate that the singer wants to let go of the past and move on with ease. However, the chorus "So walk on by, I've got no reason to love you, But I do, I do, I do" contradicts the idea of moving on as the singer still loves the person who hurt her.


In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the person's charm, "You're showing me colors of the sky, But all I see is gray," but also the lies that led to the relationship's downfall. The lyrics "Secrets in your eyes, You go and run, I'll hide" suggest that the person is not willing to share their true self, and the singer is left to hide their emotions. The final verse of the song is more hopeful, as the singer suggests that the person who hurt her is learning from their past and coming into the light.


Overall, "Walk On By" is a bittersweet song about a failed relationship where the singer is trying to move on but still loves the person who hurt her. The lyrics are reflective of the complex emotions that come with heartbreak, longing, and the hope for a brighter future.


Line by Line Meaning

Run when the rhythm's right
Move forward when everything is in sync and aligned


Go into the night
Embrace the darkness and uncertainties of life


Go until you're out of sight
Keep moving forward until you are no longer visible to the past


And you're out of my mind
Leave the past behind and move on from memories


Floating as the river flows
Going with the flow and allowing life to happen naturally


Easy as it goes to the ocean
Life is a journey and it's important to take it at your own pace


So walk on by
Don't linger in the past or try to hold onto things that no longer serve you


I've got no reason to love you
There's no logical explanation for why someone loves somebody else


But I do, I do, I do
Love can't be fully explained and sometimes it's inexplicable


You're showing me colors of the sky
You're changing my perspective and showing me new things


But all I see gray
Despite these new things, everything else just seems dull and gray


You lost me when you lied
Lies can break trust and forever change the way you see someone


Promise me but you never try
Promises can be empty if someone never follows through with them


Secrets in your eyes
Sometimes we can hide things from others, even if it's unintentional


You go and run, I'll hide
Sometimes it's better to distance yourself from someone rather than confront them


I don't ever wanna be crowned just another prize
Nobody wants to feel like they're just a trophy or object to someone else


It breaks my heart
That realization is painful and hurtful


Lost in the midnight blue shadows of the moon
Feeling lost and uncertain in life


Here with open arms for you, feeling something so new
Being vulnerable and open to new experiences and relationships


Said with me you'd reach the sun
Having big dreams and aspirations with someone else


Oh but we were so young
But sometimes those dreams and aspirations are unrealistic, especially when you're young


Love me 'till the summer's done
Love me for as long as it lasts, even if it's only temporary


But keep me in your heart so I hold on
Don't forget about me even after we part ways


Shook me to the ground now and some how
Feeling completely disoriented and unsure after a significant event


I feel like you don't know me
Feeling a disconnect or lack of understanding in a relationship


Brought me to a life that you never showed me
Being introduced to things in life that you never would have experienced without that person


Coming from a locked up ghost of yourself
Dealing with internal struggles and past traumas that are holding you back


But you're coming from the light
Despite those struggles, there is still hope and positivity to be found

Lyrics:

Run when the rhythms rime, go into the night
Go until you're out of sight and you're out of my mind
Run when the rhythms rime, go into the night
Floating as the river flows, easy as it goes to the ocean

So walk on by I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do
So walk on by I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do

Chorus:

Show me colours of the sky
But all I see is grey and watch me when you lie
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eye, you go, and run, and hide
Show me colours of the sky
But all I see is grey and watch me when you lie
I don't ever want to be a crown, just another prize that breaks my heart
Breaks my heart
Heart, heart
Breaks my heart

Show me colours of the sky
But all I see is grey and watch me when you lie
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eye, you go, and run, and hide
Show me colours of the sky
But all I see is grey and watch me when you lie
I don't ever want to be a crown, just another prize that breaks my heart
My heart

Lost in the midnight blue
Shadows of the moon
Here with open arms for you
Feeling something so new
Stay with me and reach the side
Old back we were so young
Love me till the summer's ...
But keep me in your heart
So I hold on
So walk on by I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do
So walk on by I've got no reason to love you
But I do, I do, I do

Chorus:

Show me colours of the sky
But all I see is grey and watch me when you lie
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eye, you go, and run, and hide
Show me colours of the sky
But all I see is grey and watch me when you lie
I don't ever want to be a crown, just another prize that breaks my heart

Show me colors of the sky
But all I see is grey and blush when you lie
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eye, you go, and run, and hide
Show me colors of the sky
But all I see is grey and watch me when you lie
I don't ever want to be a crown, just another prize that breaks my heart

My heart

Chug me to the ground now
And somehow I feel like you don't know me
Chug me to the ground now
You don't even know me
I don't even know how
Brought me to a life, that you never showed me
Coming from the light that goes but the ...
But you're coming from the light
There's only you and you ever thought there was yeah
Coming from the light

This brings me back to the summer of 2012. Life was full of adventure and I didn’t have a care in the world. It still hits close to home in 2020, it teleports me right back there.

@aaleeksii

Exactly this. Great, careless times

@bowserhoudini5588

Damn... for real

@MrToast01

I remember jailbreaking my ipod Touch and downloading a whole bunch of MrSuicideSheep playlists and biking to the lake. Such a vibe what a time back then :D
