Soaking through
Colours that hold us up against the wall
Soaking through
Colours that hold us up against the wall

Hold your colours against the wall
When they take everything away
Hold your colours against the wall

(I twisted the knife and opened your eyes)
(Twisted the knife and opened your eyes)
(I twisted the knife and opened your eyes)

Soaking through

Hold your colours against the wall
When they take everything away
Hold your colours against the wall

Soaking through

(I twisted the knife and opened your eyes)
(I twisted the knife and)

Ah, 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

(I twisted the knife and opened your eyes)

Ah, she looked into your eyes
And saw what laid beneath
Don't try to save yourself
The circle is complete

(I twisted the knife and opened your eyes)
(I twisted the knife and)

Fading gently
Soaking through
And starting not to show at all
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, rinse me (I twisted the knife and opened your eyes)

    My Interpretation

    The meaning is pretty simple for me. its about how fast the time goes, and here's some arguments:

    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
