What a brilliant artist! I love her new album, but am only now getting into this one!What she's doing with hillsong is awesome too.
I think of two things when i hear Scarlet, neither of which i've had any real experience, so i'm not projecting my own situation here...(i dont THINK anyway..!)
My first impression was a difficult one-sided break-up, where the one person is in real mental anguish about the breakup but knows they have to let the other go. They can only think or feel clearly when they get away from this person and everyone else - and 'gently expose whats underneath' - which is the truth that the relationship must end.
i reckon the second verse is the breakup conversation - and the truth and honesty and months of thinking prior to the conversation.
Maybe scarlet is symbolic of love, and for what ever reason, even if the "love" was real on some level ÿou can't stay" so there you go for good.
If only we know what scarlet was symbolic of in this song! I reckon that would give us the real meaning...
I also thought that this might be a song written in response to a suicide of someone she knew... without breaking it down too much, the tone and grief of the song fit.
At any rate it's an incredible song, and Brooke is a phenomenal artist. Bless ya heaps girl
