Lyrics
Light the candle, please don’t speak
Request to light a candle and a plea for silence.
Open the window, let some air in
Asking to open a window for fresh air, suggesting a desire for change.
I’m on the run, from the news on the tv
Expressing a sense of fleeing from distressing news on television.
No lessons learned, all over the centuries
Reflection on the lack of progress and learning throughout history.
Over and over, over and over
Emphasizing the repetition of negative patterns in life.
Over and over, again
-I pour a drink, I need one
Turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism.
I fall asleep, and dream
Escaping reality by falling asleep and entering the dream world.
Pretty little girl in a purple dress
Introducing a comforting image of a girl in a purple dress with healing eyes.
With you healing eyes
-Painting a picture, of the world
Metaphorically describing the girl painting a picture of the world.
Purple pink, the big board smile
Describing the colors and the girl's smile in the painted world.
I said pretty little girl
Repeating the image of the girl and highlighting her laughter.
In a purple dress
-Where you get them giggle in the eyes
-She said the big painter in the sky
Attributing the creation of the painted world to a celestial figure, the "big painter in the sky."
Had paint all their eyes
Suggesting that the celestial painter has painted eyes for everyone.
All our lives, all our lives
Repetition of the phrase "All our lives," possibly emphasizing the enduring nature of the depicted struggles and patterns.
All our lives, over and over
-All our lives, all our lives
-All our lives, all our lives
-All our lives, all our lives
-All our lives, all our lives.
