Holy Ground
Palmas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle of an endless sky
We can leave again when the sun gets high
We can leave all the flowers in the valley
But then I saw you on the mountain side
and you know, I think about it always
In the places where you can't decide
Never knew I'd want it so badly
Are you leaving something?
Are you starting somewhere new?
Is it all for nothing?
Is it all for you?
I would try find you but I can't tell how
You've been hiding in a younger crowd
We can live forever when the sun goes down
We can live forever if we make it to the valley
I can hear the echo, it's a distant sound
Like its calling from a holy ground
I couldn't wait, so I'll say this now
Never thought I'd want it so badly
Are you leaving something?
Are you starting somewhere new?
Is it all for nothing?
Is it all for you?
Are you tired of running?
Cause I'm tired of running too
Is it all or nothing?
Is it all for you?
Are you leaving something?
Are you starting somewhere new?
Is it all for nothing?
Is it all for you?
Are you tired of running?
Cause I'm tired of running too
Is it all or nothing?
Is it all for you?
Is it all for you?
Is it all?
I would try to find you but I can't tell how
You've been hiding in a younger crowd
We can live forever when the sun goes down
(Is it all for you?)
I can hear the echo, it's a distant sound
Like it's calling from a holy ground
We can live forever when the sun goes down
(Is it all for you?)
Oh, when you can't tell how
When you're starting somewhere new
We can live forever when the sun goes down
(Is it all for you?)
I would try find you but I can't tell how
You've been hiding in a younger crowd
We can live forever when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
The lyrics of Palmas's song "Holy Ground" describe the desire for a fresh start and a new beginning. The opening lines narrate a leap of faith, where the singer takes a chance on something unknown. The imagery of the endless sky connotes a limitless possibility and an open space with no boundaries. The chorus is an exploration of the reasons and motivations behind this leap of faith. The questions asked suggest uncertainty and doubt regarding the decision. The repetition of the line "Is it all for you?" emphasizes self-introspection and self-discovery.
The latter half of the song refers to an encounter with someone who affects the singer profoundly. The lines "But then I saw you on the mountain side, and you know, I think about it always" suggests that this encounter was unexpected yet unforgettable. The "holy ground" reference signifies a place with a high spiritual value, suggesting that this person's presence in the singer's life is significant and transformative. The closing lines reiterate the desire to reconnect and take that leap of faith again.
Overall, the lyrics convey a theme of wanting to break free and embark on a new journey filled with possibilities, with an underlying sense of apprehension and uncertainty.
Line by Line Meaning
Took a chance, I can't tell why
I made a decision impulsively and without clear reasoning
In the middle of an endless sky
Without any specific destination in mind
We can leave again when the sun gets high
We can start anew in the morning, in a different place
We can leave all the flowers in the valley
We can leave behind what is familiar and comfortable
But then I saw you on the mountain side
But then I found someone who changed my perspective
and you know, I think about it always
And it constantly preoccupies my thoughts
In the places where you can't decide
In moments of indecision and uncertainty
Never knew I'd want it so badly
I never anticipated how much I would desire this
Are you leaving something?
Are you departing from something in your life?
Are you starting somewhere new?
Are you beginning a new phase or endeavor?
Is it all for nothing?
Is there no point to what you're doing?
Is it all for you?
Are you the only one benefiting from your choices?
I would try find you but I can't tell how
I want to search for you, but don't know where to look
You've been hiding in a younger crowd
You've been surrounding yourself with younger people to feel young again
We can live forever when the sun goes down
We can enjoy endless possibilities and opportunities, even in the darkness
I can hear the echo, it's a distant sound
I sense something calling me from afar
Like its calling from a holy ground
Like it's a sacred and meaningful place
Never thought I'd want it so badly
I never imagined desiring something so strongly
Are you tired of running?
Are you exhausted from constantly moving and changing?
Cause I'm tired of running too
Because I'm also weary of this lifestyle
Is it all or nothing?
Is there no middle ground or compromise?
Is it all for you?
Are you the only one benefiting from your choices?
When the sun goes down
When the day is over

The song has like a Bee Gees along with 70s and 80s sound.
The video has a True Romance vibe too, brilliantly done. ๐๐พ๐๐พ
