Under a Very Black Sky

Unread postby Tabitharees » 16 Jul 2013 13:44

( Just wanted to be the first person to post the lyrics to this song as I'm in love with it :drool: ...as well as ask what your interpretations of the song are. :idea: )



“Under a Very Black Sky”

I had a dream, you had a weapon
I couldn’t see it in the dark of the night
It’s easy to hide…under a very black sky

Over the moon, just beyond Saturn
I watched in vain as the missiles took flight
We lost our lives…
…Under a very black sky

Under the black sky
Under the black sky
Under the black sky

Colors explode, under your microscope
but just through my eyes it’s all black and white
I lost my mind under a very black sky
We live our lives, mostly pretending
You have a secret
You’ll never know mine
I’ll wear my disguise
Under a very black sky

[Shim:] It’s easy to love you, easy as hell
When you’re anyone, anyone else
It's so hard to fake it
I know you can tell
If you’re anyone, anyone else
If you’re anyone, anyone else
If you’re anyone, anyone

Under the black sky
Under the black sky
Under the black sky

At first you believe, then you start lying
Swallowing up pain like it’s shredded up glass
I’m bleeding inside
Under a very black sky

Disappointment is cruel, but hope can be crueler
I felt them both until I thought I could die
But now all my tears are dry
Under a very black sky

Under a black sky....

Eeeek. I got a couple things wrong actually. :crazy: Triple-checking with the booklet now that I have it though!

This song is absolutely enchanting. I love the flow and style and the lyrics themselves... its... I love it. It may be a bold statement as I'm a lover of Maybe, but I think this song may be my new favorite song.

As I said, the song can have many interpretations, because it deals with feeling alone, dying, getting betrayed, and these feelings can apply to any kind relationship, "would that be with your boyfriend/girlfriend, wife or husben, sister or brother, mother of father, that kind of thing" :laugh:

Something that I immediately found interesting when I first heard this song was not only the lyrics but the very sound of it. The tune and the way Emma began singing felt a bit more...light-hearted, I guess, at first. But then it gets really heavy really suddenly, and in combination with the lyrics it's actually a really dark song. It caught me off-guard. I felt like there was a theme of deception going on, and masking a darker secret with a more light-hearted tone. (I hope that makes sense.)

I think it's a very interesting song and it's definitely a favorite of mine.

And everyone's tellin' ya coulda, woulda, shoulda, what they would've done back in that day, and what you should've done blahblahblahblah, c'mon man. From us to you, do whatever the hell you wanna do with your entire life and just make sure it works for you." -Shim Moore before performing Maybe.

When it gets to that all of a sudden hard/dark part does it feel almost like a horror movie theme or is it just me?

I think the effects on the voices definitely give it a creepy feel. And kind of adds to the whole deception thing.

Another thought that I had was it almost sounded like somebody going insane? Like, pretending to be okay on the outside but then on the inside they were losing it, hence the altered voices.

It got a lot of influence on Echoes by Pink Floyd. The whole thing about being on heaven and them dropping to hell it's just what the song sounds like, I recommend you guys to hear it, the whole song.

In a way it feels like watching Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club and Pink Floyd's The Wall at the same time
