Glow
Tundra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever tried
Inventing a colour in your mind
It's always just what you see with eyes
The spectrum won't ever compromise
Won't compromise

We've tried taking it slow
But soon the moment will go
I can no longer sit here and watch you glow

I know a girl
She came from some other perfect world
I don't need to invent her in my mind
I guess she was just a lucky find

We've tried taking it slow




But soon the moment will go
I can no longer sit here and watch you glow

Overall Meaning

The song "Glow" by Tundra is a reflective piece that delves into the concept of perception and the limitations of the human eye. The lyrics talk about attempting to create a new color in the mind, acknowledging the fact that our eyes can only perceive colors within the visible spectrum. The phrase "won't compromise" reiterates the idea that the colors we see are not subject to change and are limited by our eyes' abilities.


The opening verse of the song transitions to the chorus, where the singer expresses their inability to sit and watch someone "glow" anymore. The word "glow" takes on a metaphorical meaning, indicating the subject's radiance, beauty, and charisma that are too captivating to ignore.


The second verse shifts focus to a specific person. The singer mentions a girl who seems to come from a different world, perfect in her own way. However, the singer notes that they don't need to imagine her because she exists in reality.


The song's overall mood carries a sense of melancholy and introspection, evoking themes of longing, admiration, and the realization that some things are out of our control.
