Trycolour Lyrics
Great conversation
Smother it on me
Journey my soul over town
You seem like a write-off
Compromising
Going for mind over mind
Take all of my heartache
And salt to rub on it
Getting up closer tonight
If you dream of tomorrow
Pass me another
It can wait 'til some other time
Do you chang-chang-chang, change to full throttle?
Or do you fling fling fling, fling it a bottle?
Oooh, lover, come hover
I lie, open, done hopin'
Make me shiver
Go down to it
Make a hell of a morning
Bring me some gold from the vine
Stuck like the starlight
You pick your own fight baby
Laughing while both of us drown
And your secrets chained, secrets chained to you
Cause me pain when you move my way
Hey, liar, called desire
How high can you syphon my typhoon?
And the different name that drove you to violence
Burn it up
Wanna see you coming home in my life
And the different sound that fell into silence
Turn it up
Wanna see you coming home in my life
In my dreams I've been a stranger
Don't know why I wanna go inside her
In my dreams I've been a stranger
I've been on fire to go inside her
Make me shiver
Go down to it
Make me shiver
Go down to it
You and your heartstrings
In a secret apartment, playing your heartstrings
Smother it on me
Journey my soul over town
Compromising
Going for mind over mind
And salt to rub on it
Getting up closer tonight
Pass me another
It can wait 'til some other time
Or do you fling fling fling, fling it a bottle?
Oooh, lover, come hover
I lie, open, done hopin'
Go down to it
Make a hell of a morning
Bring me some gold from the vine
You pick your own fight baby
Laughing while both of us drown
Cause me pain when you move my way
How high can you syphon my typhoon?
Burn it up
Wanna see you coming home in my life
And the different sound that fell into silence
Turn it up
Wanna see you coming home in my life
Don't know why I wanna go inside her
In my dreams I've been a stranger
I've been on fire to go inside her
Go down to it
Make me shiver
Go down to it
You and your heartstrings
In a secret apartment, playing your heartstrings

This is one of the most astoundingly powerful tracks I've ever heard. Something in that transition- the mood just drops in an instant, from being haunting and melancholy to dark as death itself. I am utterly in love with this song.
Agreed.. amazing song. What do you think it's about?

Not sure... but I've spent a lot of time trying to guess! I really have no idea though. What about you?

Doesn't seem dark to me. Seems to be like an eruption of energy to me. A celebration of something.
I love this song. I think most, if not all of the Jezebels lyrics are written in a vicarious 1st person, so an individual not the same as the singer, but spoken 1st person. The lead singer, and I imagine she writes most of the song, has admitted this, I think?... This song to me is very sexual/romantic, and the lyrics are connect the physical with the mental/emotional nicely. Part of the song to me feels like its the sexual ruminations of a (horny man?) at a bar or someplace, other parts I can't figure out so much, maybe told from the point of view of another person, (the Jezebels do this too). This song is reminescent to Bruce Springsteens "I'm on fire" somewhat; "in my dreams I've been a stranger" someone who is beside him/herself with ones own desires (aren't we all though) "dont know why I wanna go inside her" so maybe uncomfortable with they're sexuality or confused, (a pedafile maybe like in I'm on fire). There is much words mentioning a "burning desire" and longing, "hey liar called desire" reveals perhaps a disbelief or confusion with ones desires, "why do I have these desires, am I being 'lied to' by my own desires" or maybe this line is meta physical maybe the speaker is calling one he/she is attracted to a liar, but the same concept and emotion still. "How can you syphon my typhoon" an excellent rhyme and word play, just like the line "can you cool my fire oohh I'm on fire", but more clever, can you control my raging longing/desires? I do think this song is about the confusion that accompanies attraction/sex/love, and does so from "alternative" perspectives, I know a number of Jezebels songs are about this so it would be a good bet.
I can't understand these lyrics. Most verses seem gramatically incorrect to me (I'm not native english speaker), though.
For instance, what "Take all of my heartache And salt to rub on it" means?
Maybe they just have arranged together some random words because of how they sound?
And which is the correct song tittle? At the official band's page it's "Try Colour" (meaning?), and in the official YouTube video it's "Trycolour" (not even english).
Anyway I agree to the "eruption of energy" description...
Hey fsckak, It is a figure of speach. In english, to rub salt on, "to salt to wound" is to "add insult to injury" salt in a open wound stings, therefore making a bad, or painful incident even a bit more sour or painful. Take all my heartache, meaning all painful memories and increase the severity.
