Colossal
TR/ST Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you breathe out a colossal sigh
you blot out a colossal shine
this lullaby lifts all the rut you feel
you dress it up with the sinking sun, you say

respect the corrosive shine, you say
how fast does she pull the blinds, you say
let the soul be here with you inside, you say
this lullaby is heard when the cramps are inside, you say

she left her house at 5am and walked
along the dotted line and caused a spark
she breathed a sigh and wrought with swelling
said I've had enough of the wretched news today

well something's right there over the clouds
you panic love, oh I know
something's right there over the clouds
nudge me closer, all I know
you keep following close
numbing metal, all I know
you keep following close
something's right there, oh I know

this lullaby is the sinking sun
this lullaby is the wretched news to come
you breath a sigh and anticipate it, you say
you'll dress it up with the sinking sun, you say

well nothing's true, and nothing's right
you panic love, oh I know
you keep following close
something's right there over the clouds
you nudge me closer, all I know
you keep following close
numbing metal, all I know
something's right there over the clouds





love diffused it's connected all to you
love diffused I'm connected all to you

LYRICS

You breathe out the colossal shine
Blow out the colossal sound
This lullaby leaves all the broached fear
Place it on the sinking sun, you say


Respect the colossal shine, I say
Faster, she blown the lights, you say
Let the soul be here beside
Say the lullaby, you heard the cramps of silence, you say


She left the house by the end
A long, dancing line, a cold star
She re-designed and ran slowly and say
I had enough of the rigid news, I say


Something's right over the clouds
The panicked love, oh, I know
Something’s right there over the clouds
You nudge me closer, oh, I know
You keep fallow close
Numbing matter, oh, I know
You keep fallow close
Something's right there, oh, I know


[Verse 4]
Slow pass the sinking sun
Slow pass the rigid news to come
You re-design and anticipate, you say
The green sea up with the sinking sun, you say

[Chorus 2]
Nothing's true and nothing’s right
The panicked love, oh, I know
You'll keep follow close
Something's right there over the clouds
You nudge me closer, oh, I know
You'll keep fallow close
Numbing matter, oh, I know
Something's right there over the clouds

Love diffuse connected all to you (8)

I can't believe how underrated TR/ST is

@Kraliksetite

is he? he's very rated in some circles

@lirka244

thats the good part. He doesnt have to be that POP artist who seeks fame n shit. I love his work and it shoulnt go commercial just cuz he he has less fans than beyonce's or smth.

@saraeugenia3767

@@lirka244 I agree! I felt like I hit jackpot when stumbling across their tracks

@yolostardust1526

using facebook likes as a metric, his fanbase has more than quadrupled from when I got into them in 2011 or 2012

@kyrinky

@@saraeugenia3767 I've gotten super lucky with a friend of mine. He's introduced me to TR/ST, Crystal Castles, Crim3s, Thieves Like Us, Blvck Ceiling, etc. and I've loved every single one of them.

@oscarabs7459

In Budapest, Madrid or Bucarest city, with castles, old arquitecture and lights color blue envolve the dancefloor.
