Hidden Track
Of Monsters and Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here in this world I'm awake with mistakes
But its love that keeps fueling me
Fueling me

Pretty little lady with swollen eyes
Would you show them to me?
I know I'm not that perfect
But you stay awhile
Baby, then you will see

Miles away I can still feel you
Lay your head down on my embrace
My embrace
Far away

Pretty little lady with swollen eyes
Would you show them to me?
I know I'm not that perfect
But you stay awhile
Baby, then you will see

Don't give up, baby
I know that its shaky
Just let love consume us
Consume us

Here in this world I'm awake with mistakes
But its love that keeps fueling me
Fueling me to love you

Miles away I can still feel you
Lay your head down on my embrace
Be not afraid to love me

Pretty little lady with swollen eyes
Would you show them to me?
I know I'm not that perfect




But you stay awhile
Baby, then you will see

I feel the same way. traveling down this road we call "life" alone.
In over 47 years, I have not managed to really connect with anyone.
No one really knows me or cares. All people I know are merely acquaintances.
I know in my heart of hearts, I'll die alone and I made peace with that a long time ago. I travel in the dark searching for light.

I keep looking tho, for a friend, a lover, a soulmate I know I'll never find.
Beautiful songs like these speak to me deeply... I can understand them.
For a moment I feel "not alone", but its a fleeting feeling, because I ultimately
have no one to share this moment with.

Nights are lonely, with no one to talk to. Be well. There are others who travel the night alone... Maybe the dawn will come, but not for me.

Lost in skies of powdered gold
Caught in clouds of silver ropes
Showered by the empty hopes
As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal coloured thighs
Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

But I'm okay in see-through skin
I forgive what is within
'Cause I'm in this house
I'm in this home
All my time

Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend

"C R Y S T A L S" (OMAM)
Lost in skies of powdered gold
caught in clouds of silver ropes
showered by the empty hopes
as i tumble down
Falling fast to the ground

I know i'll wither
so peel away the bark
becouse nothing
grows when it is dark
in spite of all my fears
I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Oh oh oh oh 
Cover your crystal eyes
and feel the tones that
tremble down your spine
Oh oh oh oh
cover your crystal eyes
and let your colours bleed
and blend with mine

Making waves in pitch black sand
feel the salt dance on my hands
raw and charcoal coloured thighs
feel so cold and my skin
feels so paper-thin

I know i'll wither
so peel away the bark
becouse nothing
grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears
I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Oh Oh Oh Oh
Cover your crystal eyes
and feel the tones that
tremble down your spine
Oh Oh Oh Oh
cover your crystal eyes
and let ypur colours bleed
and blend with mine

But Im ok
In see-through skin
I forgive what is within
because i'm in this house
I'm in this home
all my time

Oh oh oh oh 
Cover your crystal eyes
and feel the tones that
tremble down your spine
Oh oh oh oh
cover your crystal eyes
and let your colours bleed
and blend with mine.

Lost in skies of powdered gold
Caught in clouds of silver ropes
Showered by the empty hopes
As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
Because nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal coloured thighs feel so cold
And my skin feels so paper-thin

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
Because nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

But I'm okay in see-through skin
I forgive what is within
Because I'm in this house
I'm in this home
All my time

Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine


-GOD BLESS YOU!!! 💙

Of Monsters and Men’s music always feels like someone is asking if I want to go on a big adventure, but also telling me there’s many dangers along the way
