White
c(x) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows, blink and miss them
Part of a system I am
If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you never understand
Little white shadows, sparkle and glisten
All this noise, I'm waking up
All the space, I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up, oh
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find it, you keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state
When I was a young boy, I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
We're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system plan
All this noise, I'm waking up
All the space, I'm taking up
I cannot hear you breaking up, oh
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find it, you keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state
Swim out on a sea of faces
Tide of the human races
So answer now is what I need
See it in the new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on love, stay with me

Swim out on a sea of faces
Become immersed in a large and diverse crowd of people
Tide of the human races
The ebb and flow of different groups within humanity
So answer now is what I need
I require a response or solution immediately
See it in the new sun rising
Observe it gradually appearing on the horizon with the dawn
See it break on your horizon
Watch it emerge from the distance as it approaches you
Oh, come on love, stay with me
Please remain by my side, my beloved
