Monochrome describes finding someone who puts you at peace and uses descriptive lyrics to express that. The light, acoustic melody reflects the simple, comforting nature of the song itself and the person about whom the song is being sung.
[Verse 1]
Though you and I are getting so much clearer
And it's getting clearer every day
The stillness yet has an ache in its silence
It's better than the other way
[Chorus]
Hyacinth girl
You are peace
There is life in the ground beneath your feet
Beyond reason
Monochrome out of sight
[Verse 2]
The kind of love I am always chasing
Is the kind of love that won't be chased
I had no fear at the bottom of my cup
But now it's dry, I am afraid
[Chorus]
Hyacinth girl
You are peace
There is life in the ground beneath your feet
Restoration
Monochrome out of sight
[Bridge]
I didn't come to win you over
[Chorus]
Hyacinth girl
You are peace
There is Christ in the ground beneath your feet
Restoration
And the rewritten code
Beyond reason
Monochrome out of sight
