Noah
Regan Fionn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nobody out there and nobody getting in
I hope that happiness finds its way to your little house
?Cause while you were sleeping
I, I played a ghost in a sheet
When our frames collide
There's nothing left to be
There's nobody out there, the rain is just starting to pour
You get so much there you weary yourself thin
I hope that happiness finds its way to your little house
?Cause while you were sleeping
I, I played a ghost in a sheet
When our frames collide
There's nothing left to be
The skeletal wings of birds, I'll take the stairs
The ghosts of tiny animals with the tiniest of feet
The forecast is going down a storm, a storm
The lyrics of "Noah" by Regan Fionn convey a sense of isolation and loneliness. The opening lines, "There's nobody out there, it's just the noise of the wind / There's nobody out there and nobody getting in," suggest a person closed off from the world and possibly struggling with feelings of abandonment. The singer then expresses a hope for happiness to find its way into this person's home, as if to offer comfort and reassurance.
The chorus is particularly haunting, with the singer declaring, "I played a ghost in a sheet / When our frames collide / There's nothing left to be." Here, the image of a ghost suggests a desire to be seen and acknowledged, perhaps in a world where one feels invisible. The line about frames colliding could be interpreted as a metaphor for two people coming together, but ultimately finding that there is no connection or understanding between them.
The final section of the song introduces more dark imagery, with references to "skeletal wings of birds" and "ghosts of tiny animals." The repetition of the line "the forecast is going down a storm" creates a sense of impending doom, as if something terrible is about to happen. Overall, "Noah" is a beautifully written and thought-provoking song that invites multiple interpretations.
