Diamonds
Unveiling Hidden Desires: Sunrise Avenue's Diamonds Meaning
Lyrics
You woke up to hate your life again
You woke up with a sense of dissatisfaction or dislike for your life.
Feeling it's all been said and seen today
Feeling that everything worth saying or experiencing has already been done or seen today.
You woke up to fake your smile again
You woke up and pretended to be happy by putting on a fake smile.
You're not the one, you're not the one
You feel like you are not the right person or not in the right place.
You feel bittersweet when others win
Experiencing mixed emotions of happiness and sadness when others succeed.
You'd rather see them fall than gain a thing
Prefer to see others fail rather than succeed.
You know you're too afraid to fail
Aware of being too scared to face failure.
You're not the one, you're not the one
Feeling inadequate or not suitable for a particular purpose or role.
Slowly, slowly, more away 'cause
Gradually distancing oneself, possibly from negative influences or situations.
Maybe the diamonds are not for everyone
Suggesting that valuable things, like diamonds, may not be meant for everyone.
Maybe the lie you live is really all they want
Hinting that the fabricated life one lives is what others desire.
You stay silent watching all dreams around you fading
Observing passively as the dreams of those around you fade or diminish.
Slowly, slowly, slowly more away
Continuing to distance oneself gradually.
I can't believe a thing you say
Expressing disbelief in what someone is saying.
Can you the words don't come out easily
Pointing out difficulty in expressing oneself verbally.
I can't believe it's all right to cry for what you never lost now
Challenging the idea that it's acceptable to cry for something you never actually lost.
You're not the one
Reiterating the feeling of not being the right person or not fitting in.
Slowly, slowly, more away 'cause
Repeating the idea of gradually moving away from something.
Maybe the diamonds are not for everyone
Reiterating that valuable things, like diamonds, may not be meant for everyone.
Maybe the lie you live is really all they want
Repeating the idea that the false life one lives is what others desire.
You stay silent watching all dreams around you fading
Continuing to watch silently as dreams fade around you.
Slowly, slowly more away from you
Continuing the process of distancing oneself from a person or situation.
From you
Emphasizing the movement away from a particular person.
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly more away
Repeating the idea of gradually moving away multiple times.
Maybe the diamonds are not for everyone
Reiterating that valuable things, like diamonds, may not be meant for everyone.
Maybe the lie you live is really all they want
Repeating the idea that the false life one lives is what others desire.
You stay silent watching all dreams around you fading
Continuing to observe silently as dreams fade around you.
Slowly, slowly, slowly more away
Continuing the process of gradually moving away from something.
Maybe the diamonds are not for everyone (more away)
Reiterating that valuable things, like diamonds, may not be meant for everyone.
Maybe the lie you live is really all they want
Repeating the idea that the false life one lives is what others desire.
You stay silent watching all dreams around you fading
Continuing to watch silently as dreams fade around you.
Slowly, slowly more away from you
Continuing the process of distancing oneself from a person or situation.
