Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm
Making it insane
Once again, I would try
But you open your eyes to the sky
And whisper
(Refrain)
That you are so lonenly
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely
So I'm colouring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscape of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?
Colouring the sky, and the threes
And the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd coloured your heart
If you didn't I did
(Refrain*2)
And I wish you could just find home

"...canı çok acıyordur."
"Sorun yok. Alışıktır o."
"Acıya alışık olması, acımadığı anlamına gelmez. Sadece acısını belli etmemeyi iyi bildiği anlamına gelir."

The first time I heard this song, I was in Iraq 🇮🇶 as a young airman. I just picked a random CD at the huts 🛖 and it was the best weirdest music I've ever discovered. When times got stressful, I'd play this on repeat. It helped...
