Just in Time
Infinite Hues of Love: Elizabeth & the Catapult's Just in Time
Lyrics
This is the first time dreaming in these hues
This marks the first instance of dreaming in a new perspective or emotional state.
Everything I see is new to me
The speaker is encountering a world that feels entirely unfamiliar and novel.
Oh my darling
An expression of affection or endearment directed towards someone referred to as "darling."
This is the first look from this lofty height
Describing the initial gaze from a high vantage point, suggesting a changed and elevated viewpoint.
Everything is shimmering and bright
The newly perceived surroundings are vibrant, gleaming, and full of light.
Darling, tonight
Reiterating the timing and significance of the encounter, possibly with a special someone.
And you came just in time, just in time
The person arrived at a crucial moment, emphasizing their timely presence.
Save this heart from black and white
The arrival is seen as a rescue from a mundane or colorless existence, specifically, a life in black and white.
And you came just in time, just in time
Repetition of the importance of the timely arrival in saving the speaker's heart.
Save this heart from black and white
Continuation of the theme of the arrival rescuing the speaker from a monotonous or dull state.
To tremble in my own, to brush my cheek and take me back again
To feel vulnerable or excited in one's own skin, possibly related to the presence of the mentioned person.
Oh my darling
A repeated expression of affection towards the person, acknowledging their impact.
And these are the first eyes to see beyond the blue
The eyes are metaphorically described as the first to perceive something beyond the ordinary.
To make me calm and peaceful when I wake
The presence of the person brings a sense of calm and tranquility upon waking up.
My darling, my darling, it's you
A reaffirmation of the person's importance, addressed with endearment.
Oh my darling, it's you
Repetition of the expression "Oh my darling" to emphasize the emotional connection.
Oh my darling, it's you
Further repetition, underscoring the significance of the person referred to as "darling."
And he came just in time, just in time
A shift in perspective to a male figure arriving at a critical juncture, much like the earlier references to a female figure.
Save this heart from black and white
The arrival of this male figure is also depicted as saving the speaker's heart from a lack of vibrancy or color.
And you came just in time, just in time
Repetition of the crucial timing of the arrival in bringing color and vitality to the speaker's life.
Save this heart from black and white
Reiteration of the theme of rescue and revitalization from a mundane existence, now linked to the male figure.
