Purple
Hollow Coves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Let's go to that place where I took you last summer before the fall
Where the sky was purple and we drank from the bottle
We felt it all

By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes

I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies

Let's go to that place where I took you last summer on top of the hill
Where the path was golden as it led to the ocean
Quiet and still

By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes

I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies

I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies
I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies

There is a place nothing compares to but we only know
With a meaning so special
A place that was meant for more than we know
By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind

Just you and I
Open up your eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hollow Coves's song "Purple" paint a vivid picture of a romantic and peaceful place, where two people come together to escape the demands of the world. The song speaks to the beauty of nature, and the serenity that can be found in it. The first verse refers to a specific moment in time, "last summer before the fall," when the sky was purple and the two people drank from a bottle, all the while feeling connected to each other and to nature. The second verse describes a different experience on top of a hill that leads to the ocean, a place that is described as "golden" and "quiet and still."

Throughout the song, the two people are on a journey to find a place that gives them meaning and connection, and they seem to have found that place by the lighthouse on the hill. This place represents a world separate from the stress and chaos of everyday life, where they can forget about everything else and just be present with each other. The repetition of the line "just you and I sitting under purple skies" emphasizes the idea of this place being a sanctuary for two people to come together and connect.

In the final verse, the song takes on a deeper meaning, suggesting that this place is more than just a physical location, but a state of mind. The lyrics say "there is a place nothing compares to but we only know, with a meaning so special, a place that was meant for more than we know." This suggests that this sanctuary represents a deeper emotional and spiritual connection between two people, who have found something special in each other and in the world around them.
