Escaping Darkness: The Dreamlike Journey of 'Kayla'

Flying Colors' song 'Kayla' is a poignant exploration of escaping pain and finding solace in a dreamlike state. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone lost in a sea of pain, feeling like a 'hole in the wall,' suggesting a sense of invisibility and insignificance. The call for a 'change of pace' and the desire to 'forget who we are' indicate a longing to escape from the harsh realities of life and find a new beginning.

The song's chorus, repeating the name 'Kayla,' serves as a beacon of hope and transformation. The lines 'All the dark will disappear' and 'Silent dreams will fill the air' evoke a sense of peace and tranquility that comes with this escape. Kayla symbolizes a place or state of mind where darkness and fear are absent, and love and dreams can flourish. The imagery of looking through a 'foggy lens' and the breaking down of lines further emphasize the transition from confusion and pain to clarity and serenity.

The recurring theme of love igniting and the promise of never waking or fearing again suggest that this escape is not just a temporary respite but a permanent transformation. The invitation to 'come to a place where you want to stay' and the assurance that 'all darkness will leave you along the way' reinforce the idea of finding a lasting sanctuary. The song's dreamlike quality, with its swirling world where 'there is no black,' offers a powerful message of hope and the possibility of a brighter, more peaceful existence.
