She Goes Through Phases
Starling Electric Lyrics

The lyrics of Starling Electric's song She Goes Through Phases describe a woman who is going through a transitional period in her life. The persona of the song describes how the woman will soon realize that her life is strange, perhaps indicating that she's feeling lost or dissatisfied with her current situation. However, the persona is optimistic about the woman's future, noting that once she comes to this realization, she will be able to make a positive change.

The chorus of the song features the persona's description of how his presence in the woman's life has had a positive impact. Though she was previously experiencing rainy days, he notes that now that he's around, she's experiencing sunny days. This could indicate that the persona provides support, comfort, or happiness to the woman, or perhaps he symbolizes the positive change that will eventually come into her life.

The bridge of the song describes how the woman looks to the persona with "painted eyes." This image could suggest that the woman is hiding behind a façade or isn't being completely honest with him, but the fact that she keeps coming back ("ever more and again") shows that she values his presence in her life.
