Conor of Villagers says :

I remember writing that song and I was trying to relay the feeling of; you're on your own suddenly, you're by the sea and there's loads of space around you and you're like "whoa, where am I, who am I and what am I doing?" It's like a moment of change in your life. It's a song about being at peace with that change and trying to let it in. I kind of like the line "I go walking on the shore, wonder what I'm walking for and I find chameleon dreams in my mind". I kind of like the idea of changing colours and being ok with that and allowing those colours to change. Being at peace I guess, step into the soul serene. It's nice to have that song on the album because it's kind of like a centrepiece to the album for me because it sort of encompasses the aims of the rest of the songs in that they are all trying to find some sort of piece but then this one is about actually being there you know, being in that moment. That might be my favourite.
