Shade of Yellow Lyrics

I'm at your house quite a lot these days
Two thirty and you find me on the motorway
Oh, 'cause I'm shouting kinda loud
And I swear that I need to get away from my place
I'm knock-knocking at your door again

Oh, 'cause there's a light in your room
And the lamp is a shade of yellow
And it makes me feel safe and sound
And I swear that's rare these days

Yeah, there's a light in your room
And it burns like a shade of yellow
And it makes me feel safe in the head
And I swear that's rare these days

And I will keep
Running right back, running right back
Running right back to here
Yeah, if it's okay my dear

And I will keep
Running right back, running right back
Running right back to you
Yeah, if it's okay for you

And we don't really do much these days
Stare at the ceiling finding shapes in a blank space
There's just something when I'm here and I'm sorry if I overstay
But, baby, I'm knock-knocking at your door again

Oh, it must be the light in your room
And the lamp is a shade of yellow (lamp is a shade of yellow)
And it makes me feel safe and sound
And I swear that's rare these days
Yeah, there's a light in your room
And it burns like a shade of yellow
And it makes me feel safe in the head
And I swear that's rare these days

So I will keep (I will keep on running)
Running right back, running right back
Running right back to you here (take refuge in you, babe)
Oh, if it's okay my dear
And I will keep (I will keep on running, baby)
Running right back, running right back
Running right back to you
If it's the last thing I do

What is the Meaning of Shade of Yellow?

In this deeply introspective piece, the artist explores themes of comfort, solace and emotional dependency. The recurring image of the 'shade of yellow' lamp light symbolizes a haven of tranquility and safety for the protagonist. This refuge is found in another person's presence, indicated by phrases such as "running right back to you." This suggests an emotional reliance on this individual, with the speaker continually seeking their company to escape personal turmoil. The mention of mundane activities like finding shapes in blank spaces further highlights the comfort derived from this person's mere presence. However, there's also an underlying sense of guilt about potentially overstaying their welcome, indicating a complex dynamic between dependence and respect for boundaries.
