Purple
Skin (Deborah Anne Dyer) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeping through my open seams
I'm stained all over
You pretend we've started again
Waiting for me to say when
But I say purple
She won't go
Where I
I would go for you
I'd curse my heart
For you
Silence makes a girl talk fast
Speeding but I'm gonna crash
And burn for loves sake
Duty keeps a lover loyal
(But) is it really worth the spoils
When I dream purple
The lyrics to "Purple" by Skin (Deborah Anne Dyer) seem to be describing the overwhelming feeling of a certain emotion, represented by the color purple. The color is meant to convey a sense of intensity and all-encompassing presence that the singer is feeling. The first stanza describes the way in which this purple emotion is "washing over" the singer and "seeping through [her] open seams," essentially staining her entire being. This suggests that whatever she is feeling is inescapable and consuming.
Line by Line Meaning
Purple washes over me
I feel overwhelmed by a deep sense of emotion
Seeping through my open seams
This emotion is slowly penetrating every aspect of my being
I'm stained all over
It's leaving a permanent mark on me
You pretend we've started again
You act like everything is back to normal
Waiting for me to say when
You're waiting for me to give you permission to continue
But I say purple
But I can't ignore the way I feel
She won't go
I won't give up
Where I
No matter where
I would go for you
I'm willing to do whatever it takes for you
I'd curse my heart
I'd even give up my own feelings and well-being for you
For you
Because you mean everything to me
Silence makes a girl talk fast
When everything is quiet, I feel the need to talk and express myself
Speeding but I'm gonna crash
But I know this can lead to dangerous situations
And burn for love's sake
But it's worth it if it means being with the one I love
Duty keeps a lover loyal
Being loyal to someone is a responsibility and obligation
(But) is it really worth the spoils
But is it worth sacrificing your own happiness and desires?
When I dream purple
When I imagine the future, I can only see this intense emotion taking over

Questa non è una canzone che ho ascoltato particolarmente o che tengo nel mio archivio musicale! Però ogni volta che mi capita di sentire le primissime note crea in me una sensazione davvero forte di nostalgia.... Mi ricordo che per un anno è stata come sottofondo di una pubblicità del Festivalbar e mi fa venire in mente quel periodo in cui andavo alle medie e l'estate aveva un sapore di libertà e spensieratezza...

Fenomenale....spettacolare...drammatico, romantico, pulsante...che dire...
musica mai sentita...
Questo è il rock...sempre diverso, sempre originale, magnifico ed essenziale.

purple is created by combining blue and red. as we all know red is a direct symbol of love and blue is a direct symbol of sadness and so purple represents the combination of the what she feels the sadness about her man being with another girl however she loves him, therefore purple^^.

I also think of it as purple being (for me) associated with death. Don't know. For me. Death of those feelings she once felt. Fuckin'n ouch! So brutal.
