Pure
scanners Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night time slows
Raindrops, splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know
Could sparkle and shine

As day′s dreams slide
To colour from shadow
Picture the moon's glow
That dazzles my eyes
And I love you

Just lying smiling in the dark
Shooting star round your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple everytime
Now you′re crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be
Keeping pure and simple everytime

Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There′s stardust in my head
Pure and simple everytime
Fresh and deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I′ll sing a softer tune
Pure and simple over you

Dreams of sights
Of sleigh rides in seasons
Where feelings not reason
Can make you decide
As leaves pour down
Splash autumn on gardens
As colder nights harden
Their moonlit delights
And I love you

Just lying smiling in the dark
Shooting star round your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple everytime
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you′d never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be
Keeping pure and simple everytime

Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There′s stardust in my head
Pure and simple everytime
Fresh and deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
Pure and simple over you

Pure and simple over you




Pure and simple over you
Pure and simple over you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scanners' song "Pure" invoke a sense of innocence, purity and simplicity within relationships, and also hold a somewhat nostalgic feel for past memories. The opening lines of "Night time slows, Raindrops, splash rainbows, Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine" take the listener on a journey that evokes a sense of wonder, possibility and magic. As the memories are brought to life in the lyrics, the idea of keeping things "pure and simple" is emphasised.


The chorus of the song reinforces this message as the singer says "Just lying smiling in the dark, Shooting star round your heart, Dreams come bouncing in your head, Pure and simple every time, Now you're crying in your sleep, I wish you'd never learnt to weep, Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping, Pure and simple every time". The singer is urging someone not to lose sight of the dreams they have and to keep their heart pure and simple, reminding them that love and relationships don't have to be complicated.


In the verses, the imagery continues with the lyrics "As day′s dreams slide, To colour from shadow, Picture the moon's glow, That dazzles my eyes, And I love you" painting a beautiful picture of a crisp autumn day where the colours are vibrant, and the moonlight casts a magical spell. In essence, Scanners' "Pure" is a reminder of the beauty and importance of simplicity in both our relationships and memories.

El tema original es de la banda británica de pop llamada "The Lightning Seeds" del año 1989, album "Cloudcuckooland", canción "Pure". 6 años más tarde, en 1995, Marian Dacal representando "Scanners", sacó el mismo tema "Pure" en versión Electrónica y Euro House. Lo que la letra no es la misma, se le parece pero no es igual a la original aunque me gusta más esta versión de "Scanners" (Marian Dacal) que lo tengo en el recopilatorio "Flaix History vol. 1". La letra que esta puesta en la descripción del vídeo es del grupo "The Lightning Seeds", la de "Scanners" es la siguiente:
Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
as day's dreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moon's glow, that dazzles my eyes
and I love you

Just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be
keeping pure and simple everytime

Look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans
new shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you

Dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reason, can make you decide
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and I love you

Just lying smiling in the dark
shooting star round your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime

Look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans
new shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you

Pure and simple over you
Pure and simple over you
Pure and simple over you
