Red
Polaris At Noon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to make it right
Truth lies behind the wall
Break into at night
I want to expose the fire
Make them realize
That we multiply and then we crucify
But I am in too deep to heed the signs
This California morning painted red on the shoreline
Ascend electric gates, oh
Time to shake it up
Awake demon eyes, oh
Ready for the fight
I want to expose the lies
Make them realize
That we multiply and then we paralyze
But I've been taking fire from ancient times
But I am in too deep to heed the signs
This California morning painted red on the shoreline
But I've been taking fire from ancient times
But I am in too deep to heed the signs
This California morning painted red on the shoreline
I'm losing hope
I'm losing hope
Ooh
But I've been taking fire from ancient times
But I am in too deep to heed the signs
This California morning painted red on the shoreline
But I've been taking fire from ancient times
But I am in too deep to heed the signs
This California morning painted red on the shoreline
The lyrics to Polaris At Noon's song "Red" describe the struggle of an individual who is trying to bring attention to the truth, but is met with resistance from those who wish to maintain the status quo. The singer takes "smaller steps" in trying to do what is right, knowing that the truth is hidden behind a wall and can only be accessed by breaking in at night. They want to "expose the fire" and make people realize the truth, but they are aware that people may turn on them and "crucify" them for it.
In the second verse, the singer calls for a change and tries to awaken people's eyes to the lies that are being spread. They want to make people aware that their actions have consequences, and if they continue to believe these lies, they will only "paralyze" themselves. The repeated chorus emphasizes the singer's belief that they are in too deep to heed the warning signs, and the California morning painted red on the shoreline is a metaphor for the danger that lies ahead.
Overall, the lyrics of "Red" are a call for action and a warning against complacency. The singer is aware of the risks involved in fighting for what is right, but they are willing to take these risks to expose the truth.
