Diamonds
PIXEL GRIP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kiss the ring that's on the
Hand of the chosen one
On my mark
Cross my heart
Hope to die
Open fire
Make me warmer than
You're my diamond
You're my rock
In the rough
Want your touch
You're the sand that the
Surfer brushes off
How can I withhold from
Coming home to white and gold
When your touch is like a
Diamond, reminder?
How can I just go?
How can you act like you don't know
That too much of your baby doll love
Is like a dive straight into faith
When not feeling that brave?
In the name of God
Raised hands who want to speak
Only speaking in tongues
On my mark
Cross my heart
Hope to die
Open fire
Make me warmer than
Black tar in July
You're my diamond
You're my rock
In the rough
Want your touch
You're the sand that the
Surfer brushes off
The lyrics to PIXEL GRIP's song Diamonds are full of religious and romantic symbolism. The reference to God and the chosen one kissing the ring suggest a religious leader, perhaps a prophet or messiah. The singer is willing to pledge their loyalty and follow this chosen one's commands, even to the point of death ("hope to die, open fire"). The image of being warmer than black tar in July suggests a passionate intensity and desire to be consumed by this devotion.
The lyrics then shift to a romantic theme, with the singer addressing their love interest as "my diamond." The imagery of a diamond in the rough suggests that their love interest may not be perfect, but they still treasure them. The mention of sand that the surfer brushes off may be a metaphor for the challenges and obstacles in their relationship that they are willing to navigate through.
The lyrics then return to the religious symbolism, with raised hands speaking in tongues. The use of tongues in religious practice suggests an ecstatic, almost frenzied state. The singer once again declares their willingness to follow and pledge their loyalty to the chosen one, with the repeated refrain of "cross my heart, hope to die, open fire."
Overall, the lyrics to Diamonds are a mix of religious devotion and romantic intensity, exploring themes of loyalty, passion, and commitment.
