out looking for signs But they were never there so I’d pull ’em from the air riff We all believed in something but like you I can’t say why It’s just a whisper in our ear or a bottle for our fears Hold me to the light let me shine Come hold me against the floor and say it’s alright Come hold me ’neath the water’s skin till I’m new again I said what I was thinking now you can’t see what’s good till it’s gone Then there’s something to be said for a place to lay your head riff You told me I was simple and you envied me that piece of mind And I listened to the creek and it did much more for me I’ll hold you to the light let you shine I’ll hold you against the floor and say it’s alright ’cause down beneath the water’s skin where we will swim There’s diamonds on the surface then and they’ll come clean us (We’ll) both live again riff These days I barely wander and I don’t need no more of them signs (strum) I just breathe in all that air and be happy that it’s there

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le cheminement personnel et spirituel de l'artiste, qui cherche des signes et des réconforts au cours de son existence. Elle parle de l'idée de croire en quelque chose de plus grand, même si les raisons de cette foi ne sont pas toujours évidentes. L'artiste se sent attiré par la lumière et les sensations renouvelées, cherchant à se purifier et à renaître à travers des expériences vécues, notamment en s’immergeant dans l’eau, symbolisant une forme de renaissance. Dans un contexte plus large, on peut percevoir un récit de quête intérieure dans un monde souvent chaotique, où les réflexions sur la simplicité, le bonheur et l'acceptation de soi prennent une place centrale. La mélodie et les paroles se conjuguent pour créer une atmosphère introspective, invitant à la contemplation.
