Technicolour Beat
Oh Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come settle down, settle down
Let loose your glow
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms, and the sun in my eyes
I feel safe in the 5am light
Jump into the heat, spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat, you and me
Caught up in a dream, in a technicolour beat
Beat, beat, beat
Warm, unalone
Come settle down, settle down
Swing me your bones
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms, and the sun in my eyes
I feel safe in the 5am light
You carry my fears as the heavens set fire
Jump into the heat, spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat, you and me
Caught up in a dream, in a technicolour beat, beat
Give me one drop, I can feel you
Make me lose control
We'll be walking, on the water
When we're moving in a technicolour beat
Moving in a technicolour beat
Jump into the heat (falling off the ceiling)
Spinning on our feet (we're moving)
In a technicolour beat, you and me (found another feeling)
Caught up in a dream, in a technicolour beat
Jump into the heat, spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat, you and me
Caught up in a dream, in a technicolour beat
Beat, beat, beat
The lyrics of Oh Wonder's song "Technicolour Beat" speaks of the intimacy and safety felt between two people. The lines "Lay down your slow" and "Come settle down, settle down" sets the tone for the song as it invites the listener to relax and take a break from the world. It then talks about feeling alive for the very first time and how love makes everything brighter ("Love in my arms, and the sun in my eyes"). The chorus speaks of getting lost in a dream-like state, with vivid colors and emotions, represented by the line "Caught up in a dream, in a technicolour beat." The song then ends with a desire to lose control and move to the rhythm of life.
The song's lyrical content encourages the listener to appreciate the present moment, to find someone to share it with, and to enjoy life to its fullest. The use of words like "glow" and "technicolour" are metaphors for emotions experienced when one is deeply in love, representing how love makes everything feel more vibrant.

Falling off the ceiling
Experiencing something totally unexpected
We're moving, found another feeling
Exploring other intense emotions
Beat, beat, beat
A repetition of the intense and vibrant emotion

Oh Wonder
Lay down your slow
Come settle down, settle down
Let loose your glow
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms, and the sun in my eyes

You carry my fears as the heavens set fire
Jump into the heat, spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat, you and me
Caught up in a dream, in a technicolour beat
Beat, beat, beat
Warm, unalone
Come settle down, settle down
Swing me your bones
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms, and the sun in my eyes
I feel safe in the 5am light
You carry my fears as the heavens set fire
