Song Description

The sexy, intense vocals grab your attention from the start: this is a singer who is definitely going to be heard, and that?s exactly what she?s singing about. Ultraviolet is a special kind of light, a unique way of seeing the world, and the singer knows she?s got it and no one can take it away. She addresses herself to a person who used to be her hero ? but she now realizes that he was only trying to sell her his own inferior, ?black and white? vision of the world, a hopeless world where it?s pointless to try to make it. The seductive indie-rock vibe and powerful, sultry vocals explode in the bridge into a compelling validation of independence and empowerment.

Lyrics

Ultraviolet

Verse:
Tell me I?m not mistaken
Talk to me
Cause I don?t seem to understand
The way you see
So you sold me the copyright to your lies, and you
Pulled your words over my eyes
But I see things in a different light

Chorus:
And I, I see the light that you don?t see, but you
Don?t believe I, don?t believe I got it
The color?s there if you let it be, but you
Don?t believe I, don?t believe I got it
Don?t be afraid of what you see
You don?t believe I, don?t believe I
I got it, it?s ultraviolet.

Verse:
You tried your best to save me
But now you know
You don?t need to hold my hand
And lead the way
Well you sold me a second-hand disguise, and you
Showed me the colors through your eyes
But they?re only black and white

Chorus:
And I, I see the light that you don?t see, but you
Don?t believe I, don?t believe I got it
The color?s there if you let it be, but you
Don?t believe I, don?t believe I got it,
Don?t be afraid of what you see
You don?t believe I, don?t believe I?

Bridge:
I got it, and it?s ultraviolet
The confusion of sunlight
Is fading away
On the sun-spotted airfields
On the violet runways
