Milo Greene – Take A Step Lyrics 11 years ago
These are the lyrics I got from the album:

Upon the throne
Is a garden's leaf
Is this the sigh
Of sweet relief
Don't dim the lights
No early gray
I'm all too soon
forget this place

Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me

Upon the door
Is an open latch
Our hearts will shake
But hands relax
The way you know it lights
The garden's leaf
It will take this sense
Of sweet relief

Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me

Soft has never felt so hard
Your face in front of me
Still I see we're getting closer to what is unseen.
So let down your guard
I'll knock down my guard
If I let down my guard
Then I
Then I
Then I
Then I...

Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Oh
Wash your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Wash your love
Your love
Your love all over me

The Colourist – Little Games Lyrics 11 years ago
Definitely about cheating in the first verses with "I saw you messin' around (he say her with someone else) / We were down, the times were rough (they were obviously having difficulties in the relationship) / But was the light that you found / On the other side enough?" (He's asking if the other person she decided to give up everything for was worth ruining the relationship they had).
In the chorus, he basically asks her what he could possibly have done to warrant her leading him on when things were just starting to get better between them and finishes with that they are "so far from dealing with all these little games" - she is playing mind games with him and toying with his heart.
"Holding in so much you could drown" to me sounds like she would never speak up about what wasn't working in the relationship, but would rather hold everything back and be discontented while maintaining some type of grudge against him for whatever reason. But he says he's had enough, and later asks why she would even stay if she was so unhappy.
Great song, under-rated band.

I think you have the interpretation spot on. That's exactly how I see it as well. But I guess all interpretations are left to personal opinion and experience...

Imagine Dragons – Tiptoe Lyrics 12 years ago
My interpretation of this song seems to revolve around the idea of evolving one's own identity and breaking free from the socially accepted norm. People always get wrapped up in their own worlds and perceptions; sometimes we forget about the other people around us and their personal development. The first verse, "let my roots take flight, Watch me from above like a vicious dove" kind of eludes to the idea that someone is starting to make a name for themselves and those higher up on the social scale who can certainly be "vicious" sometimes, but seem innocent like "doves" are watching this underdog flourish (and anyone who has been to high school, I'm sure can relate). The next couple lines just reiterate this concept. The well endowed, popular, self-involved crowd can often miss out on the spectacular people around them who are beginning to shine. But the person on the rise doesn't care about what others seem to think. They can't "blame" the others for not seeing, as they've never tried to look before. The second verse with the lines, "From your slanted view see the morning dew, Sink into the soil, watch the water boil", I understand it as a request to open one's eyes in order to see the simpler things in life. Get out of your twisted, "slanted" view on the world, and just look at the beauty within the simpler things for once. The rest of the verse relates back to how if someone isn't truly looking around them, they miss out on other people, opportunities, and life in general. "Nobody else can take [us] higher" other than ourselves. We, as individuals, have the ability to bring ourselves up to the highest potential. We don't need others' approval to get ahead, to become what we truly are destined to be. We all tiptoe around people, step on eggshells and dim ourselves in order to fit in sometimes. But it's time we step up and take the social pedestals by storm and make our way to the top. One step or tiptoe at a time. Don't "fall asleep" and let others step all over you and your success; instead "tiptoe higher" without "letting 'em know we're coming". You don't need to get a big, hot, egotistical head to succeed. If you take your time, "simmer down" and "keep your head down low", you'll surprise everyone around you. (In saying that, I just disagree with the "keep your head down low" lyric - I think you should keep your head held high! In this context though, it's referring to the sneaking manner needed for tiptoeing and going unseen). These are all just my own opinions. Would be awesome to get someone else's thoughts on this addictive tune.
