Soaking through
Comes and holds itself against the wall
Soaking through
Comes and holds itself against the wall
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,
And saw what laid beneath,
Don't try to save yourself,
The circle is complete,
We're reaching out and to tell you,
Nothing else can touch me
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,
And saw what laid beneath,
Don't try to save yourself,
The circle is complete
Fading gently,
Soaking through,
We're reaching out and to take you,
Nothing else can touch me
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Comes and holds itself against the wall
Soaking through
Comes and holds itself against the wall
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,
And saw what laid beneath,
Don't try to save yourself,
The circle is complete,
We're reaching out and to tell you,
Nothing else can touch me
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,
And saw what laid beneath,
Don't try to save yourself,
The circle is complete
Fading gently,
Soaking through,
We're reaching out and to take you,
Nothing else can touch me
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall

1. hold your colours against the wall like on egyptian wall paintings that go through history.
2. when they take everything away - time goes by and you lose everything no matter what.
3. in bipolar remix - Don't leave it to waste, Time is slipping away, No time to play, time is just shining through space. - pretty obvious in this one
4. The ship has been destroyed, This is just the water, Soaking through: How the time makes the ship sink in the water, how ancient cities sink in the sand.
Not everything matches but, i find these pretty significant to "my" meaning
"twisted the knife
(opened your eyes)
It sounds more like
"I twisted the knife
(which opened your eyes)"
My wife left me with the 3 kids 18 months ago. I felt like I fkn lost everything, my manhood, my ability to support my family, my freedom, my dreams for the future, the person who I thought loved me. I felt like she and her new man, 'they' had taken everything away. My 'colour' was my pride, and doing everything I could for my kids... thats all I had man, and thats what I showed, held my head up, showed no weakness. My pride, my strength (my colours) thats what held me up (against the wall), kept me off my fkn knees.
What was soaking through was hurt man, and despair, but somehow holding my colours against the wall, showing my good, kept that down. And you know, the knife is still being twisted, she's a hard bitch, but its opened my eyes to her, and does afresh everytime she twists. Opened my eyes to the person I can be too, she was killing me when we were together... I never saw that, do now though...
I've seen a few girls since being single, but fell for one... she's in my heart so much, and she has been the only person who has seen inside me, who's touched me... "she looked into my eyes n saw what lay beneath" - that line is so true for my angel... My circle's not complete....yet...
Thats what that song has meant to me... I dunno what the boys were getting at when they wrote it, but early on, when it was really tough for me, Hold Your Colour, cranked up, was like my athem of defiance and hope, thanks fellas...
colours that held us up against the wall"
I think this means knowledge being understood and being put up to your viewing personal viewing.
Goes with: "she looked into your eyes and saw what lay beneath
don't try to save yourself - the circle is complete" pretty well
I think the girl saw him for who he truly was, and their true colors connected into one. This created the complete circle, or, the two people being discussed completed each others personalities because they were meant for each other.
