Song Interpretation: Diamonds

Peppertones - Diamonds

lyrics:

blurry daydreams singing solace to me
distant callings soothing voices i hear
today's the day, all those in the way are gone

step out to the road, and you will recover the beauty,
all the spice of your life
look up to the sky, and you will discover
infinity, is way up there so definitely

cosmic visions flashing shining truly
breezy, windy, sunshine tenderly
TODAY
step out to the road, and you will recover the beauty,
all the spice of your life
look up to the sky, and you will discover
infinity, is way up there so definitely
