Orange Days
Unveiling Emotions in "Orange Days" by Stray Fossa
Lyrics
My sun'll rise, and I know
Anticipation of a positive change or new beginnings represented by the rising sun.
It's not much longer now
The awaited change or moment is approaching soon.
Somewhere begins a future
The beginning of a future, suggesting a new phase or direction.
A stranger to ourselves
Feeling unfamiliar or disconnected from oneself, possibly due to change or growth.
What's left of me and you
What remains of a relationship or connection between individuals.
Is a geyser rushing out at night
An overflowing and intense release of emotions or feelings, possibly during nighttime.
No chance to see it through
No opportunity to complete or endure a situation until the end.
To feel it boil out from under
To experience emotions bubbling up and emerging abruptly.
I can't keep waking up
Expresses exhaustion or weariness from continuous awakening to reality or circumstances.
(Somewhere, somehow
Indication of a belief that despite uncertainties, there's a persistent focus on the other person.
I'm looking at you always)
Constantly thinking about the person referred to, possibly in a hopeful or longing manner.
To dreams of orange days
Aspirations or desires for a period of happiness or warmth symbolized by "orange days."
(Somewhere, somehow
Suggests a readiness to accept the possibility of losing direction or purpose in a relationship or journey.
I'm ready to lose our way)
A recognition of a nurturing or comforting presence that used to support both individuals.
That held us in her arms
The nurturing or supportive entity that provided solace or comfort.
(Somewhere, somehow
A conscious decision to distance oneself from the truth or reality.
I'm pushing away the truth)
The past period of security or contentment has ended.
And kept us for a while
It's time to explore and discover all the concealed truths or solutions.
Our time has come
Implying a moment to reveal and understand everything that was previously unknown.
To uncover every answer kept
The scorching intensity or harshness of August as a metaphor for truth or reality.
Beneath the white burn of August
Symbolic of a situation that leads to rest or sleep.
That carries us to bed
A sense of lost opportunities if a crucial moment or chance disappears suddenly.
What chance to see it through
The difficulty in foreseeing a positive outcome if an opportunity vanishes unexpectedly.
If the moment falls out from under
A moment of emotional weightiness or burden.
And holds a heavy heart
The slim possibility or odds of achieving a desired outcome.
In the open odds of ever landing
Reiteration of the fatigue or weariness from continual awakening to circumstances.
I can't keep waking up
Repeated expression of being unable to cope with ongoing situations.
I can't keep waking up
Emphasizes the struggle or inability to face reality.
I can't keep waking up
Continued emphasis on the inability to confront or handle the ongoing circumstances.
(Somewhere, somehow
A repeated reminder of persistent thoughts or feelings towards the other person.
I'm looking at you always)
Similar to line 11, persistent thoughts or attention directed at the person mentioned.
To dreams of orange days
Reiteration of the desire for a phase of happiness or warmth symbolized by "orange days."
(Somewhere, somehow
Acknowledgment of being prepared to lose direction or sense of purpose in a relationship.
I'm ready to lose our way)
Recognition of a comforting presence that once supported both individuals.
That held us in her arms
Reference to the nurturing or supportive entity that provided solace or comfort.
(Somewhere, somehow
A conscious decision to distance oneself from the truth or reality.
I'm pushing away the truth)
Indicates the end of a previous period of security or contentment.
And kept us for a while
Recognition of a nurturing or comforting presence that supported them for a while.
