Look at You
Glimpses of Beauty in the Ordinary
Lyrics
Such a beautiful day
Expressing the beauty of the day.
Must have been the company
Attributing the beauty to the company or people present.
It's not that it was extraordinary
Emphasizing that the day wasn't extraordinary, but the ordinary stood out.
Just that the ordinary
Highlighting the significance of ordinary moments.
Stood up and was staring back at me
Personifying the ordinary, suggesting a meaningful connection.
There's not a thought that I could hear
Unable to discern specific thoughts, drowned by a choir of emotions.
There's a thousand-person choir singing in my ears
Describing an overwhelming experience with a metaphorical choir.
And you're drowning into it happily, hmm
Immersing willingly into the overwhelming experience.
And are you scared
Pondering if the intensity of the moment is intimidating.
Of how good it feels?
Questioning if the goodness of the experience is causing fear.
There's a shimmering light in the back of my mind
Describing a metaphorical shimmering light in the mind.
I know it sounds cheap 'cause everything rhymes
Acknowledging the potential cliché but suggesting authenticity.
I think it's just the way that I look at you
Attributing the shimmering light to the way the singer looks at someone.
There's a shimmering light in the back of my mind
Reiterating the presence of a shimmering light in the mind.
I know it sounds cheap 'cause everything rhymes
Recognizing the potential cliché but emphasizing genuine feelings.
I think it's just the way that I look at you
Reaffirming that the shimmering light is a result of how the singer looks at someone.
Does anybody have the time and how old am I?
Pose questions about the perception of time and one's age.
Can someone tell me what is happening?
Seeking understanding of the current situation.
There's a shimmering light in the back of my mind
Repeating the presence of a shimmering light in the mind.
I know it sounds cheap 'cause every rhymes
Acknowledging the potential cliché of rhyming but asserting its authenticity.
Can someone tell me what is happening?
Reiterating the quest for understanding the current situation.
Maybe it's just the way that I look at you
Suggesting that the way the singer looks at someone may be the key to understanding.
