Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't see?
I don't feel nothing
Hi sweet Ivory!
Comes up and out to you
with misty eyes
my cold heart was true
But truth needs a lie
by a slow goodbye
I stared at you
there was emptiness
thats my point of view
And all I am sayin' seems same to you
but I'm already gone by now
And all I can swear is I'm going to
where you are
but I don't know how
...
The moon is my sun
but you changed it
yeah you changed it
O.D. on my life
and I know it
then I knew it
your taste was mine
and I don't wanna change a thing
don't wanna change a thing
love feels right
well I knew it
you knew it
All I'm sayin' seems same to you
but I'm already gone by now
and all I can swear is I'm going to
where you are
but I don't know how
...
Sweet Ivory
I was killing time
but you were on my mind
what I tried to describe
one sentence left behind
with words I didn't find
and everything I'm sayin' seems same to you
but I'm already gone by now
and all I can swear is I'm going to
where you are
but I don't know how
...

The lyrics to Olympique's song "Ivory" describe a complex mix of emotions, highlighting the difficulties of love and relationships. The singer seems to be expressing his frustration and confusion, unable to understand why he can't connect with his lover or feel anything towards them. He acknowledges that his heart is "cold" and that he's having trouble being honest with himself and his partner. There's a sense of resignation and sadness in his voice as he describes the slow decay of their relationship, with love being followed by a "slow goodbye". Despite this, he still longs for his partner and wants to be with them, even if he doesn't know how to make that happen.
The lyrics also contain references to drug use and addiction, with the singer confessing that he's "O.D. on [his] life". There's a sense of self-destructiveness and recklessness in his words, as he struggles to come to terms with his own emotions and desires. He references the moon as his "sun", suggesting that he's lost his center and is struggling to find his way back.
Overall, "Ivory" is a deeply introspective and emotional song that captures the raw pain and vulnerability of love and relationships. It's a testament to the power of music to convey complex emotional states and to help listeners make sense of their own lives and experiences.

I love how this has a vibe that is very similar to Kings of Leon. Great to hear such great music from Austria.
Please come to Salzburg or Innsbruck again. Really need to see you there
