Delilah Montagu - Orange
I got a tattoo of your father's initials
I don't know why, at the time, it felt special
We bought a dog and we thought he was different
Said he had my eyes
Said he had your gentle weakness
Taking up all of our bed
That's what we said
★ Chorus ★
But I was a bird and you were a fish
We couldn't breathe together like this
I needed to fly, but you needed to swim
I belong up above and you belong deep within
Mm, mm
★ Verse 2 ★
I'm painting my nails my favourite orange
It's the only thing I've ever been sure in
All through my life, it's my favourite colour
But it rеminds you of your mother
And she nevеr liked orange
★ Chorus ★
'Cause I was a bird and you were a fish
We couldn't breathe together like this
I needed to fly, but you needed to drown
I belong in the sky and you belong on the ground
Mm, mm
★ Outro ★
I took a drive all the way to New Hampton
Seeing my life in the rearview mirror
Baby, don't cry 'cause you know you get nearer to me every day
In my own special way, I would sing you to sleep
As my way of reaching you in the deep
I'll sing to you from the trees
I'll sing to you from the trees
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe chorus emphasizes the longing for freedom and individuality, with the protagonist feeling the need to fly while their partner needs to swim. The use of the color orange as a recurring motif adds depth to the song, symbolizing a sense of certainty and individuality amidst the uncertainty of the relationship.
In the outro, the protagonist reflects on their journey and the distance that has grown between them. Despite the inevitable separation, there is a sense of longing and a desire to connect with their partner, even if it's just through a song. The melancholic tone of the song captures the emotional turmoil of letting go and moving on from a once cherished relationship. "Orange" is a poignant and introspective track that evokes a sense of nostalgia and longing for what once was.
