ok. i've listened to this song over twenty times and i think i've come up with a meaning. to me, i think its about a girl, who's just an average typical girl, but she's scared to live and take chances in her life because of something unfortunate that happened in the past. and this guy is fond of her. he's taken away every time he sees her. but he also is scared to let lose and live life. he also worries a lot. and just wants to escape reality. the line "Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away?" means he just wants someone to show him how to live. to show him to let go and not worry too much. to just leave it all behind. and he thinks the girl can help her and he can help the girl. he likes her and thinks that even though she's a great and wonderful girl, she should let lose more and take more chances. and he thinks he should do the same. basically just to live life to the fullest. he wants her to let go of everything she's scared of because he has. he wants her to take a chance on him. he's saying that if they get together, they'll brighten up each other lives. i guess the first time they tried to come out of their shells together. it didn't work out that well. "The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow. The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know." i think in this song "color" represents, living life, or the spark. so i guess they felt like the spark wasn't there. and they're about to give up on letting go. they think it's too hard and they can't do it. but i guess he's more optimistic than her and he's like don't worry about it, we can try again. he's determined and feels like they can be together. that they can brighten each other lives. "Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains. And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins." the rainbow, is like the colors. he feels he can put the happiness and drive back in her life that she once had. they also wasted all that time apart and now they can be together. hence the line "Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should’ve known. That we’d grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone" i guess she becomes nervous and he tells her to let go of those nerves and be happy. somewhere deep inside her, that happiness is hidden. she just has to believe its there and reveal it. "Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood." then i guess she ends up showing that side of her. and they end up together and happy. they both loosened up and are starting to take chances.
