Redemption Song
Pale Crow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life's going down
You're rainbow and I'm the Sun
Who got a low season
What used to be the one
Is just an echo we hear in a song
Redemption song
The night will bury my head in the dawn
Now I wonder if time can heal it all
If we're gonna collide with a better world
Where somebody else
Somewhere else
Somebody else takes it better
Somebody else
Someone else
Somebody else makes it better…
What's now
When hands are down?
Surrounded by city hum
I feel like I'm dumb
When nothing can be done
Time breaks up, we hear the song
Redemption song
Wanna go but we stay at home
Home will cover our eyes with chrome
Now I wonder if time can heal it all
If we're gonna collide with a better world
Where somebody else
Somewhere else
Somebody else takes it better
Somebody else
Someone else
Somebody else makes it better…
And we'll stop to blame the past
Bad things and overcast
Will go away for good weather
And somewhere there's a place for us
Where we would share the last
Things that would make us feel better
Hey now
Life's going down
I can't stop repeating the song
Redemption song
The lyrics of "Redemption Song" by Pale Crow delve into themes of hope, self-reflection, and the possibility of finding solace and improvement in a changing world.
The opening lines, "Hey now, life's going down, you're rainbow and I'm the Sun," suggest a contrast between the singer's positive outlook and the challenges they face.

However, the phrase "redemption song" reveals a glimmer of hope, hinting at the possibility of overcoming adversity and finding inner healing.
The subsequent stanza adds to this theme, as the singer ponders if time can heal all wounds and wonders if they will collide with a better world. Here, the idea of someone else making it better suggests a longing for a different reality. The repeated use of "somebody else" and "somewhere else" emphasizes the desire for change and improvement.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a contemplation of the present moment. While feeling surrounded by the hum of the city and perhaps overwhelmed or restricted in some way, the singer reflects on the limitations they perceive themselves as having. The phrase "time breaks up, we hear the song" suggests a moment of realization or clarity, where they recognize the potential for redemption and transformation amidst the challenges they face.
The final stanza offers a sense of resolution and optimism. The line "And we'll stop to blame the past" conveys a willingness to let go of negative experiences and move forward. The mention of bad things and overcast going away for good weather suggests the possibility of a brighter future. The reference to finding a place where they can share the last things that would make them feel better further emphasizes the search for emotional healing and growth.
Overall, "Redemption Song" by Pale Crow explores themes of hope, self-discovery, and the possibility of finding redemption and improvement in a changing world. The lyrics capture a yearning for a better future and a willingness to let go of the past, ultimately offering a message of transformation and healing.

Hey now
Listen up
Life's going down
Life is getting worse
You're rainbow and I'm the Sun
You bring color and brightness to my life
Who got a low season
Who is experiencing a difficult time
What used to be the one
What used to be significant
Is just an echo we hear in a song
Is now just a distant memory
Redemption song
A song that offers hope and salvation
The night will bury my head in the dawn
The darkness will give way to a new beginning
The dawn will cover my eyes with chrome
The sunrise will bring clarity and renewal
Now I wonder if time can heal it all
Now I question if time can mend everything
If we're gonna collide with a better world
If we will intersect with a brighter future
Where somebody else
Where someone different
Somewhere else
In another place
Somebody else takes it better
Someone else handles it more effectively
What's now
What's happening at this moment
When hands are down?
When we feel helpless?
Surrounded by city hum
Encircled by the noise of the city
I feel like I'm dumb
I feel foolish
When nothing can be done
When there is no solution
Time breaks up, we hear the song
Time passes, and we still feel the echoes of the song
Wanna go but we stay at home
We want to leave, but we remain stuck
Home will cover our eyes with chrome
Our familiar surroundings provide a false sense of security
And we'll stop to blame the past
And we will no longer hold the past responsible
Bad things and overcast
Negative experiences and gloomy days
Will go away for good weather
Will be replaced by better times
And somewhere there's a place for us
And somewhere, there is a place where we belong
Where we would share the last
Where we would find solace
Things that would make us feel better
Things that would bring us comfort
I can't stop repeating the song
I can't help but keep singing the same song
Redemption song
A song that offers hope and salvation
