kastrup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sky is all you have in sight
You don't know if it's wrong or right
But you're in control
No one's there to tell you lies
No one's there to draw a line
You're one of your kind
Lydia, Lydia
Guess it never caught my eyes
You'll never be, never be
Never be this free again
Over there, no one speaks and no one cares
And silence don't just dissapear
When you're on your own
They don't know what you've been told
And they don't know what you've been holding
Back for so long
Lydia, Lydia
Guess it never caught my eyes
You'll never be, never be
Bever be this free again
Lydia, Lydia
Everybody knows your name
We'll never be, never be
Never be the same again
Wherever you think you're going
Whoever you think you are now
I will always remind you
That you're one of us
In Kastrup's song "Lydia," the artist is describing what it's like to feel free and in control, even in moments of solitude. The "colored night" described in the beginning evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue, suggesting that the singer might be exploring a new or unfamiliar place. Without any outside influence or judgment, the singer is able to fully embrace themselves as an individual, "one of their kind." The reference to Lydia could symbolize a person or place that embodies this sense of freedom and autonomy.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to describe this experience of isolation and introspection. They note that in this place, "no one speaks and no one cares," which might seem unnerving to some. But for the singer, this is a liberating experience, since there are no outside pressures or expectations. The repetition of "Lydia, Lydia" throughout the song reinforces the idea that this is a person or place that represents this sense of freedom.
