about
Purple and Green is a song that is very special to us, and that has been with us for many years without being properly recorded. It's about being heavily in love and not knowing how to act on it, inspired by studying at a strict christian boarding school where physical intimacy was still a taboo. We also feel like this song captures the essence of our second album, with its dreamy, playful arrangement and an unconventional mix of musical elements.
lyrics
Purple and green
The purpose of green in blue
When days were allowed
To creep in and out of hue
She stared into my eyes
Made me pay the price and run
Steady as a rock
She’ll surely outlive the sun
Traces of your eyes, you left me traces of the sky I never knew
And in the place we used to hide, you left me traces of a pride I never knew
Purple and green
You’ve stolen my weeks before
Children on their knees
Begging us to fight their war until dawn
Bodys are bruised
Your future is used and foreseen
And oceans away
You pray away your gay to be clean
Traces of your eyes, you left me traces of the sky I never knew
And in the place we used to hide, you left me traces of a pride I never knew
Traces of your eyes, you left me traces of the sky I never knew
And in the place we used to hide, you left me traces of a pride I never knew
The purpose of green in blue
When days were allowed
To creep in and out of hue
She stared into my eyes
Made me pay the price and run
Steady as a rock
She’ll surely outlive the sun
Traces of your eyes, you left me traces of the sky I never knew
And in the place we used to hide, you left me traces of a pride I never knew
Purple and green
You’ve stolen my weeks before
Children on their knees
Begging us to fight their war until dawn
Bodys are bruised
Your future is used and foreseen
And oceans away
You pray away your gay to be clean
Traces of your eyes, you left me traces of the sky I never knew
And in the place we used to hide, you left me traces of a pride I never knew
Traces of your eyes, you left me traces of the sky I never knew
And in the place we used to hide, you left me traces of a pride I never knew
