Ursa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing better than a nighttime show in a daytime world
I wish you would stay up with me 'til 2am and watch The Today Show
Nothing better than a talk show host in a nighttime life
Well, the daytime world and the nighttime clash and I'm amazed to find you listening
Cause it's a hard time comin' when you want some English tea and I want beer
So just hear me out when I tell you the advantages of the nighttime life
I wish you would get up with me at 5am and watch the sun rise
A lot better than staring at the screen and straining your eyes
I wish you would stay up with me 'til 8pm and watch the sun set
Somethin' 'bout goin' dark gets me sleepy at night
Cause it's a daytime world in a nighttime life and I'm amazed to find you sleeping
Just get up now and we could do some things that we usually do together
It's 8am and we could do everything and we could be outside forever
But it's a hard consolation
When you can't see my elation for the simple things like weather
And it's a hard time comin' when I open my eyes and you don't wanna see the light
Let's not fight, it's fine, the sun's out now and the rain comes out at night
Well that sun beatin' down on me, feels like a fever dream
Darkness through my window, best sight I ever did see
You know I got them daytime blues
And I don't want that sun to shine
When I get back to my bedroom
I'm gonna stay up all damn night
Well I stayed up all night long just to hear that old bird song
But just as it was starting, Some Asshole went and turned the lights on
You know I got them daytime blues
And I don't want that sun to shine
When I get back to my bedroom
I'm gonna stay up all damn night
Now you've been waiting for the morning to come
But I've been working all night 'til a drink of rum
And I feel the heat of that burning sun
Brush against my head just like a loaded gun
Sun shining through my window
Birds singing in the daylight
Please darling, turn the lights low
Let me sleep until the moonlight
Now the one thing that always troubled me down to my cold black soul
That I won't be around to see the sun get swallowed by a big black hole
You know I got them daytime blues
And I don't want that sun to shine
When I get back up to my bedroom
Darlin', I'm gonna stay up with you all night
There ain't nothing that I can't see
If only that sun wouldn't stare at me
And there ain't nothing that I can't dream
If I wasn't distracted by a sunny beam
Sun shining through my window
Birds singing in the daylight
Please darling, turn the lights low
Let me sleep until the moonlight
Sun shining through my window
Birds singing in the daylight
Please darling, turn the lights low
Let me sleep until the moonlight
The sky is only blue if you let it
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
The sky is only blue if you let it
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
Look at the waves, the floating caves
Look at the trees and ride the breeze
Look in your eyes, the wind is nice
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Look in the air, it's always there
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Look on the wings, those pretty things
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Look in the air, it's always there
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Look on the wings, those pretty things
Look at the sky, it's floating by
All I do is speak to you
All you do is let me through
Daylight brings the silent walkers
Nighttime brings the silent talkers
All I do is speak to you
All you do is let me through
Daylight brings the silent walkers
Nighttime brings the silent talkers
And it's all there
It's already there
In the streams beneath the mountains
In the streets beneath the mountains
And it's all there
It's already there
In the streams beneath the mountains
In the streets beneath the mountains
Look at the waves, the floating caves
Look at the trees and ride the breeze
Look in your eyes, the wind is nice
Look at the sky, it's floating by
The sky is only blue if you let it
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
The sky is only blue if you let it
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
The sky is only blue if you let it
Ohhh, but I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
The sky is only blue if you let it
Woah, but I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
The lyrics to Ursa's song "III" explore the contrast between daytime and nighttime, and the desire to break away from societal norms and expectations. The song begins with the singer expressing a wish for their partner to join them in unconventional activities. Watching "The Simpsons" at 6am and "The Today Show" at 2am represent the singer's dissatisfaction with the rigid structure of time and their longing for something different. The nighttime life symbolizes freedom and spontaneity, contrasting with the constraints of the daytime world.
The second verse delves deeper into the conflict between the daytime and nighttime lifestyles. The singer marvels at the fact that their partner is content to sleep during the daytime, when there are so many possibilities for shared experiences. The singer yearns for their partner to understand and appreciate the beauty of the world when the sun is out. However, they also acknowledge the difficulty of finding common ground, as their partner is reluctant to embrace the daytime activities that bring the singer joy.
The third verse expresses the singer's disdain for the sun and daytime, which they refer to as the "daytime blues." They prefer the darkness through their window and staying up all night. The singer feels a sense of discomfort and frustration when the daytime interrupts their peaceful sleep or interrupts a moment of beauty, symbolized by "Some Asshole" turning on the lights just as they are about to enjoy the song of a bird.
The fourth verse brings a shift in perspective, as the singer acknowledges their partner's longing for the morning and their own nighttime activities. They describe working all night and feeling the heat of the sun, likening it to a loaded gun. Here, the singer emphasizes the conflict between the two lifestyles, recognizing that they may never fully understand one another's perspectives.
The chorus repeats the longing for darkness and sleep, as the singer requests their partner to turn the lights low and let them sleep until the moonlight. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the singer's deep desire for the nighttime world, where they can escape the distractions and discomforts of the daytime.
The final section of the song introduces a sense of acceptance and appreciation for both the daytime and nighttime. The singer realizes that the sky is only as blue as one allows it to be and expresses their resistance to merely existing without truly experiencing life. They encourage the listener to look at the beauty around them, whether it be the waves, trees, or the sky floating by. The repetition of the chorus serves as a reminder to embrace the present moment and not let it pass by unnoticed.
Overall, "III" explores the tension between the daytime and nighttime worlds, expressing the singer's longing for freedom and connection while also acknowledging the difficulties in bridging the gap between different lifestyles and perspectives. The lyrics ultimately convey a desire for a more authentic and meaningful experience of life, where both the daytime and nighttime can coexist and be appreciated.

The realms of daylight and darkness collide, and it astonishes me to discover that you are attentive amidst this clash
Cause it's a hard time comin' when you want some English tea and I want beer
It becomes challenging when your desire for English tea conflicts with my craving for beer
So just hear me out when I tell you the advantages of the nighttime life
I implore you to give me a chance to explain the benefits of embracing a life characterized by the cover of darkness
But it's the daytime when the sun comes out and the rain comes out at night
However, it is during the daytime that the sun reveals itself and the rain emerges during the nighttime hours
I wish you would get up with me at 5am and watch the sun rise
I long for you to rise early at 5am and witness the beauty of the sunrise by my side

Cause it's a daytime world in a nighttime life and I'm amazed to find you sleeping
The dominion of daylight prevails within a life of darkness, and it astounds me to discover that you are asleep amidst it all
Just get up now and we could do some things that we usually do together
If you simply rise from your slumber, we can engage in activities that we typically enjoy as a duo
It's 8am and we could do everything and we could be outside forever
As it is currently 8am, we have the entire day ahead of us to partake in various activities outside and bask in the endless possibilities
But it's a hard consolation
Nevertheless, it is difficult to find comfort
When you can't see my elation for the simple things like weather
It is disheartening when you fail to perceive my joy derived from the uncomplicated delights, such as appreciating the weather
And it's a hard time comin' when I open my eyes and you don't wanna see the light
A difficult situation arises when I awaken, but you have no desire to embrace the light of day
Let's not fight, it's fine, the sun's out now and the rain comes out at night
Rather than argue, let us find peace in the fact that the sun has risen while the rain is reserved for the nighttime hours
Well that sun beatin' down on me, feels like a fever dream
The sun's intense rays shining upon me evoke a sensation akin to a delirious dream consumed by fever
Darkness through my window, best sight I ever did see
A view of darkness outside my window is the most captivating sight I have ever beheld
You know I got them daytime blues
You are aware that I am plagued by a sense of melancholy associated with daytime
And I don't want that sun to shine
I have no desire for the sun to cast its light upon the world
When I get back to my bedroom
Once I return to my sleeping quarters
I'm gonna stay up all damn night
I intend to remain awake throughout the entire night
Well I stayed up all night long just to hear that old bird song
I endured a sleepless night solely to savor the melodic chorus of an aging bird
But just as it was starting, Some Asshole went and turned the lights on
However, just as the song began, an inconsiderate individual rudely illuminated the surroundings by switching on the lights
Now you've been waiting for the morning to come
You have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of morning
But I've been working all night 'til a drink of rum
In contrast, I have been toiling throughout the entire night, finding solace only in the consumption of a rum beverage
And I feel the heat of that burning sun
I can sense the intensity of the scorching sun's heat
Brush against my head just like a loaded gun
It grazes against my head, evoking the sensation of a loaded gun ready to be fired
Please darling, turn the lights low
I implore you, my beloved, to dim the lights
Let me sleep until the moonlight
Allow me to slumber peacefully until the moonlight graces the world
And it's all there
And everything is present
It's already there
It already exists
In the streams beneath the mountains
Within the flowing streams hidden beneath the towering mountains
In the streets beneath the mountains
Within the streets residing beneath the mountains
Look in the air, it's always there
Observe the air surrounding us, as it is perpetually present
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Direct your gaze towards the sky, as it effortlessly drifts along
Look on the wings, those pretty things
Take notice of the wings, those beautiful objects
Look in the air, it's always there
Observe the air surrounding us, as it is perpetually present
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Direct your gaze towards the sky, as it effortlessly drifts along
Look on the wings, those pretty things
Take notice of the wings, those beautiful objects
All I do is speak to you
All I do is communicate with you
All you do is let me through
All you do is allow my words to penetrate
Daylight brings the silent walkers
Daylight heralds the arrival of those who walk noiselessly
Nighttime brings the silent talkers
Nighttime gives rise to those who communicate with gestures rather than words
And it's all there
And everything is present
It's already there
It already exists
In the streams beneath the mountains
Within the flowing streams hidden beneath the towering mountains
In the streets beneath the mountains
Within the streets residing beneath the mountains
The sky is only blue if you let it
The sky assumes a blue hue solely if you allow it to
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
However, I have no desire to perish while solely gazing at the sky
Look at the waves, the floating caves
Observe the waves and the caverns that seem to float upon them
Look at the trees and ride the breeze
Take in the sight of the trees and experience the sensation of riding upon the gentle wind
Look in your eyes, the wind is nice
Peer into your eyes where the wind is perceived as pleasant
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Direct your gaze towards the sky, as it effortlessly drifts along
The sky is only blue if you let it
The sky assumes a blue hue solely if you allow it to
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
However, I have no desire to perish while solely gazing at the sky
Look in the air, it's always there
Observe the air surrounding us, as it is perpetually present
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Direct your gaze towards the sky, as it effortlessly drifts along
Look on the wings, those pretty things
Take notice of the wings, those beautiful objects
Look at the sky, it's floating by
Direct your gaze towards the sky, as it effortlessly drifts along
The sky is only blue if you let it
The sky assumes a blue hue solely if you allow it to
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
However, I have no desire to perish while solely gazing at the sky
The sky is only blue if you let it
The sky assumes a blue hue solely if you allow it to
But I don't wanna die just lookin' at the sky
However, I have no desire to perish while solely gazing at the sky
