I Didn't Know
The Colorful Quiet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the birds would keep on singing their song
I didn't know I could be so wrong but I was
And I didn't know you could know me so well
It seems your eyes have got my story to tell
I didn't know 'cause it never felt like this
Like bliss
We go together crazy like this
Oh like a wish come true
I didn't know it was you
And I didn't know who I really was
That I'd been locked up just because
I didn't know what freedom was
But now I do
And I didn't know I'd see you again
Ever kicking my dreams to the wind
Taking time just to find a friend I had lost
Oh what an ocean that we crossed
Just like two magnets loosely tossed
We came together amazing it seems
Oh like a dream come true
I didn't know it was you
I didn't know

The lyrics are full of emotional depth, and they paint a vivid picture of someone who has been through a lot of ups and downs and has finally come to a place of understanding and acceptance. The opening verse, "Hey I didn't know it could rain for so long, and the birds would keep on singing their song," is a powerful metaphor for the way that life can sometimes feel like an endless storm, but even in the midst of that storm, there is still beauty and hope to be found. The second verse, "And I didn't know who I really was, that I'd been locked up just because, I didn't know what freedom was, but now I do," speaks to the way that self-discovery can be a painful and difficult process, but ultimately leads to a greater sense of peace and enlightenment.
The chorus of the song, "Like bliss, winter rain and morning kiss, we go together crazy like this, oh like a wish come true, I didn't know it was you," is a beautiful and romantic celebration of the unexpected love that can sometimes blossom in the midst of chaos and confusion. The song's bridge, "Oh what an ocean that we crossed, just like two magnets loosely tossed, we came together amazing it seems, oh like a dream come true, I didn't know it was you," captures the sense of wonder and awe that can come from discovering a profound and life-changing connection with another person.
Overall, "I Didn't Know" is a tender and heartfelt song that speaks to the universal human experience of love, loss, and self-discovery. The Colorful Quiet's lyrics are beautifully crafted, full of rich imagery and emotional depth, and set to a haunting and evocative melody that captures the essence of the song's themes.

Hey I didn't know it could rain for so long
I did not expect that it would rain heavily for such a prolonged period
And the birds would keep on singing their song
Despite the heavy rain, the birds continued to sing joyously
I didn't know I could be so wrong but I was
I was surprised to discover that I was mistaken about something
And I didn't know you could know me so well
I was not aware of how deeply you understand me
It seems your eyes have got my story to tell
Your eyes seem to possess the ability to tell the story of my life
I didn't know 'cause it never felt like this
I was not aware because I had never been in a situation like this before
Like bliss
The feeling was like pure happiness
Winter rain and morning kiss
The combination of winter rain and a morning kiss led to a magical moment
We go together crazy like this
Our combination seems irrational yet it works seamlessly
Oh like a wish come true
It felt like a dream come true
I didn't know it was you
I was unaware that it was you who made everything perfect
And I didn't know who I really was
I was unaware of my true identity
That I'd been locked up just because
I had been unknowingly restricting myself
I didn't know what freedom was
I did not understand the true meaning of freedom
But now I do
But now it has become clear to me
And I didn't know I'd see you again
I was not expecting to see you again
Ever kicking my dreams to the wind
I had given up on my dreams and just lived carelessly
Taking time just to find a friend I had lost
I took time to search for a lost friend
Oh what an ocean that we crossed
The challenges we faced were like crossing a vast sea
Just like two magnets loosely tossed
Our relationship seemed unpredictable yet inevitable
We came together amazing it seems
It is incredible that we ended up together
Oh like a dream come true
It felt like a dream come true
I didn't know it was you
I was unaware that it was you who made everything perfect
I didn't know
There were many things I did not realize
