Lyrics
It's battleship grey outside
Describing the external environment as dull and monotonous.
And we don't know what we'll be getting
Expressing uncertainty about the future outcomes.
All your sweet talking, raining over me
Referring to persuasive or affectionate speech affecting the speaker.
‘Til my name escapes, and I'm set free
Feeling liberated when the speaker's name is forgotten or detached.
There's a word in your eye,
Noting a mysterious expression in someone's eyes.
But I don't know what is to say it
Uncertainty about what the word in the eyes signifies.
And when you call me from the other side,
Receiving a call from an unspecified source on the other side.
A sense of it starts breaking up, and its lies
Feeling a disruption and deception in the communication.
I don't know, what I'm getting,
Expressing a lack of understanding about the situation.
But I'm getting something,
Acknowledging the receipt of something, though uncertain about its nature.
I don't know, what I'm getting,
Reiterating uncertainty about the nature of what is received.
But I'm getting something
Emphasizing the reception of something, despite not knowing its identity.
It's battleship grey outside,
Repeating the description of the external environment as battleship grey.
Confusion, all this is for the gods
Referring to confusion and acknowledging a mysterious force.
Uncertainty, I could be bathing under artificial light
Considering the possibility of experiencing uncertainty under artificial light.
Under twilight blue, starts to mesmorize
Being captivated by the beauty of the twilight sky.
And I tell myself that you light up my life
Convincing oneself that someone lights up their life, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
But its all in the mind when you cannot see in the eyes
Recognizing the subjective nature of feelings when visual contact is absent.
‘Cause I don't know, what I'm getting
Reiterating the lack of understanding about the situation.
But I'm getting something,
Acknowledging the reception of something, though uncertain about its nature (repeated theme).
I don't know, what I'm getting
Reiterating uncertainty about the nature of what is received (repeated theme).
But I'm getting something
Emphasizing the reception of something, despite not knowing its identity (repeated theme).
It's battleship grey
Repeating the description of the external environment as battleship grey (repeated theme).
All your sweet talking, raining over me
Recalling the impact of persuasive or affectionate speech on the speaker (repeated theme).
‘Til my name escapes, and I'm set free
Feeling liberated when the speaker's name is forgotten or detached (repeated theme).
