Painter

Lyrics
She wants to be a painter
Expresses the desire of the protagonist to become a painter.
But she only ever paints when she's alone
Indicates that she only engages in painting when she is alone.
By the fire in the back room of her home
Describes her painting setting as the back room of her home, near the fire.
She finds so much beauty in the colours
She sees beauty in colors, suggesting a deep appreciation for art.
But she's afraid
Reveals her fear that others may not appreciate her artistic creations.
That it won't be found by others
Expresses concern about her art not being recognized or valued by others.
So she sits there
Describes her spending extended periods in the same chair while painting.
Hour after hour in that same chair
Highlights the dedication and persistence she invests in her art.
Drawing shapes no one will ever see
She creates drawings that remain unseen by others.
And as she paints she hums a melody
While painting, she hums a melody, perhaps reflecting her inner emotions.
It goes ah ah

It goes ah ah
-She's always been a dreamer
Describes her as a dreamer since childhood.
Ever since she was a little girl
Indicates that her dreamy nature persisted from childhood.
She spends so long lost in her own world
She spends a significant amount of time lost in her thoughts.
Lost in her own thoughts
Highlights her deep imagination and creative inner world.
Imagination building up until she makes it home
Imagination builds up and transforms into creative output.
And turns it to creation
She turns her imaginative ideas into actual artistic creations.
Sitting opposite the canvas
Describes her dedication to the canvas, facing it until completion.
For however long it takes her
Emphasizes her persistence in the artistic process.
She won't stop until that picture in her mind is down on paper
Expresses her commitment to translating mental images onto paper.
Painting summer skies

Ah ah

-A little voice creeps into her mind
Introduces an inner voice cautioning against seeking validation from others.
Don't place your worth on other people's eyes
Encourages her not to base her self-worth on others' opinions.
You're a painter
A reminder of her identity as a painter, irrespective of external validation.
Try not to forget
Encourages her not to forget her true self as a painter.
You choose who you are

Even if nobody else knows yet

Grab your light

Let it fly
