Through This Noise
Technicolour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lot has happened since then
Just can't remember when
you gotta take what you can get
me, I got stuck with regret

Through this noice I hear you calling
in the distance, calling
through this noise I hear you calling
and I wonder if you ever make it through

With no distance left to run
and blinded by the sun




I'm finally on my knees
floating on the breeze

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Technicolour's song "Through This Noise" discuss regret and the feeling of being lost or disconnected. The opening lines suggest that something significant has happened to the singer in the past that they can't quite recall. The third line, "you gotta take what you can get," may be a reflection of the singer's attitude towards life - that they're resigned to making the most of whatever comes their way. The final line of this verse, "me, I got stuck with regret," indicates that the singer has some unresolved feelings about past choices or events.


The chorus of the song provides some hope amidst this sense of uncertainty. Through the noise - which could be a metaphor for the distractions and chaos of everyday life - the singer hears someone calling out to them from a distance. The repetition of the phrase "calling" emphasizes the urgency and potency of the connection between the singer and this distant figure. The last two lines of the chorus, "and I wonder if you ever make it through," suggest that the singer is not sure if this connection is strong enough to bridge the gap between them.


The final lines of the song, "With no distance left to run/and blinded by the sun/I'm finally on my knees/floating on the breeze" add a dreamlike quality to the song's overall mood. The singer seems to have reached a point of surrender or acceptance, symbolized by their kneeling position. The image of being "blinded by the sun" suggests that the singer has emerged from a dark period but is perhaps still struggling to adjust to the brightness and intensity of the world around them. The final line, "floating on the breeze," implies a sense of weightlessness or freedom - a release from the burdens that have been weighing the singer down.
