Staring
Technicolour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Builting walls tearing 'em down what do you see when you look around
The monument of dignity sold it's story to the movie company
The law took it's share and soon the wolves will be heating there
Staring the end in the eyes and waving a white flag at the blind
Staring the end in the eyes and waving a white flag at the blind
Open the door in comes a wind so cold, it'll choke you
You're left on your knees coughing blood on the floor
You're heading for the gates, for the gates that soon will close
And all that's left is the sound of peace retreating throught the crowd
Staring the end in the eyes and waving a white flag at the blind
Staring the end in the eyes and waving a white flag at the blind
The lyrics of this song, "Staring" by Technicolour, seem to be about a person who is facing a difficult situation alone. They are torn between building walls and tearing them down, uncertain about what they want to see when they look around. The reference to the "monument of dignity" being sold out to the movie company and the law taking its share could be an allegory for something the person values being compromised or lost to external forces. The line about the wolves heating there could imply that there are predatory forces waiting to capitalize on any perceived weakness.
As the song goes on, the imagery becomes more intense, with talk of a cold wind choking and a person coughing up blood. The person then seems to be running for their life, but not just for themselves - they may be trying to protect others as well. The gates that are closing could represent an ending, whether it's the end of a literal journey, a life, or some other kind of transition. The final line about "the sound of peace retreating" suggests that there is a loss or a conflict that is leaving the person feeling stranded.
Overall, the lyrics of this song are quite poetic and open to interpretation. It could be about a variety of difficult situations that people face, from personal struggles to larger societal issues. The reference to waving a white flag at the blind could also be seen as a gesture of surrender or a plea for help, depending on how it is interpreted.

I must do this on my own and you know I hate being alone
I have to face this challenge alone and I don't like it
Builting walls tearing 'em down what do you see when you look around
I'm tearing down my defenses and wondering what's left
The monument of dignity sold it's story to the movie company
My sense of pride has been compromised for the sake of entertainment
The law took it's share and soon the wolves will be heating there
The authorities have taken their cut and now danger is approaching
Staring the end in the eyes and waving a white flag at the blind
I'm facing my demise and surrendering to those who cannot see the truth
Open the door in comes a wind so cold, it'll choke you
A harsh reality is about to hit me hard
You're left on your knees coughing blood on the floor
I'm defeated and wounded
Next thing you know, you're running, for their lives not your own
I'm fleeing for survival, not for my own sake
You're heading for the gates, for the gates that soon will close
I'm making my escape before it's too late
And all that's left is the sound of peace retreating throught the crowd
The only thing left is the departure of tranquility amidst chaos
Staring the end in the eyes and waving a white flag at the blind
I'm acknowledging my end and surrendering to those who cannot see the truth
