Diamonds
Peppertones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really can't explain
The way you make me smile
The way you make me love you
When you're shining
Diamonds don't make promises or decieve me
They don't lie
Stars up in the sky
I see them in your eyes
Can I see them now?
Yes, I see them now
Little diamonds
Please don't go away
Let me love you
Can I keep you near?
Let me hold you dear, ever more
Don't know what it is
Your magic sparkle kiss
Little diamonds
I'm yours
Twinkling like a melody in the twilight
Ever clear, made in heaven, some are cold
And some are perfect cuts
While some are in the rough
All so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Little diamonds
Don't you go away
Let me love you
Can I keep you near?
Let me hold you dear, for all time
Don't know what it is
Your sparkle with a kiss
Little diamonds
Little diamonds
Be mine
The Peppertones’ song Diamonds is about how the singer feels towards their lover. The lyrics mention something that the lover does, that the singer can’t explain, but the mere presence of their lover makes them happy and they fall more in love with them. The initial lines of the song talk about how diamonds don't lie, make promises, or deceive people. They are compared to stars shining in the sky and the singer sees the diamonds in their lover's eyes. They ask if they can see them now, thereby implying that they are deep in love with their lover.
The chorus talks about little diamonds that sparkle, and the singer pleads with these diamonds not to go away, asking if they can keep them near and hold them dear. The singer doesn't know what it is about their lover's sparkle that makes them feel this way but proclaims that these little diamonds are theirs. The song refers to these little diamonds as if they are a magical entity that reflects the power their lover has over the singer.
The second verse compares their lover to diamonds, remarking the twinkling of the diamonds signifies the beauty of their lover, much like a melody in twilight. It is mentioned that some diamonds are in the rough while some are perfect cuts, but all of them are beautiful. The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus, where the singer expresses their love for these little diamonds, i.e., their lover.
