Finn, Neil - Chameleon Days Lyrics






Cruel shame
Oh what have I done?
Punching a wall
Nearly broke my thumb
It's harder than you think
Not that it matters
If I show myself to you

Come on, I know, you will
That must be how the music is meant to be played
A rush of blood
And it's gone as fast as it came
Chameleon Days

Though your anger is red
Envy is green
But if you have a choice
It will always be blue
Should I show my self to you?

Come on, I know, you will
That must be how the music is meant to be played
The colors change
In our lives we all have our own
Chameleon Days

The more I have to wait, the more you come in late
The closer to the ground, with every other sound
The more I have to wait, the more you come in late
The closer to the ground, with every other sound
And anyone can tell you that it's out of your hands
And god is rolling numbers while I'm making a plan
And anyone can tell you that it's out of your hands
And god is rolling numbers while I'm making a plan
For a soul

The sky and the water
To the sky and the water
There is beauty and surrender
Oh sweetness of sorrow
Oh you wake up before tomorrow
That color won't get you into trouble

Finn, Neil Chameleon Days Comments
  1. t.... p....

    Neil at his best love it .      god is rolling numbers while making plans for the soul.   just lush

  2. A.... M....

    I can hear a lot of Sting in this song...which is no bad thing at all.

  3. P.... ....

    Who else was compelled here by the melodic genius of Neil Finn's exquisite and timeless songwriting? Gossamer grace

  4. 1.... ....

    Astonishing. I LOVE the video - it's very rare to see such a beautiful, clever visual to go with the brilliant song.

  5. P.... L....

    What an amazing song! And the video is quite beautiful too. Thanks Neil, keep on rockin'!

  6. T.... B....

    Sublime

  7. S.... H....

    You Tube! Where did Out of Silence go?

  8. D.... T....

    Evolution of a genius! Thank you Neil! 🎸🙏🏼👏🏼✨🌟

  9. C.... ....

    A great song to jam along with. Thanks.

  10. E.... B....

    I want to tattoo these lyrics all over my body. This song is everything.

  11. L.... S....

    Anyone can tell you that it's out of your hands... Which colour? loveLoveLOVE

  12. S.... R....

    this music has many layers of sound, word colors, kaleidoscope shapes & i feel poignancy when I listen

  13. M.... R....

    This is very, very good. Loved the layers and how you extended the middle section. Interesting sonic territory you went into.

  14. A.... T....

    Makes this ex-pat Kiwi-in-Northern California feel slightly homesick. 12 y/o daughter remarked that this is slightly Beatles-esque. A true gem, for sure!.

  15. M.... C....

    How he doesn't believe in a spiritual dimension I'll never know..he is spirit pesonified

  16. M.... C....

    Unbelievable the only one I look up to

  17. J.... R....

    This is magnificent. Watched all episodes back in August of the recording. Went to both shows in Boulder, Co with Liam and Sharon on the stage with him in 2016. You, sir an a musical treasure🎸🎸🎸

  18. T.... ....

    One of the greatest musicians. Neil, your music never ceases to amaze me. This song is one of your best ones. Vocals are hauntingly beautiful.

  19. C.... ....

    💛💚💙💜❤

  20. A.... N....

    A man who is still at the pinnacle of his talents. This is so beautiful and moving, with music and words coalescing perfectly. A song that shapeshifts from the first to the last note and with some soul splitting lyrics.

  21. J.... s....

    He hasn't lost his touch but I love split ends I like that raw moody music, didn't go for long enough

  22. L.... B....

    Amazing. Love it!

  23. R.... B....

    brilliant what more can we ask...your a genius Neil....

  24. g.... ....

    The best LP of the year, please tour the UK, Bournemouth would be good!

  25. F.... ....

    Awesome, Neil ... can we have a video like that for ALL of the Out of Silence songs? Everything sounds so great, and I’d like to see how those hands are making it happen. :D

  26. O.... f....

    Thank you Mr. Finn. You are and always will be one of my favorite song writers (and one of the World's greatest). You are a gift from the heavens to the rest of us

  27. m.... p....

    Thank you M. Finn, what a gift for your faithful fans. Greetings from France where we long to see and hear you again.

  28. A.... N....

    That extra verse 👏😉 beautiful song. One for dreamtime 💓

  29. M.... C....

    He just nails life in words- inspired

  30. S.... R....

    The colors of emotion , the intense feelings of life. I'm flying

  31. m.... a....

    man, fun and lovely and the lyrics...feel this song.

  32. D.... P....

    All Finns in the ocean! Thank you for the lyrics Neil. Cheers!

  33. P.... C....

    That is superb, a perfect little gift. (Although I thought we didn't like hands on keys and frets ;) )

    Something similar for "I Know Different" would be awesome!

  34. a.... ....

    Esoteric christianity teaches that after we die we traverse backwards through our just finished life and experience the world through the effects of our actions on those around us and that this lays down the seeds for what later becomes our karma. I hope when his time comes that Neil experiences the joy, cleansing and uplifting of spirit that he has brought to all who listen to his music. But I also hope that is a long way off yet! :-)

  35. P.... M....

    Every chameleon day has at least four seasons, each an edible flower. Water ballet FTW!

  36. a.... ....

    a gentle refrain

  37. B.... W....

    Love this. Thanks for the little piano tutorial. :) I so love this song and have been trying to play it on the piano!!

  38. J.... P....

    This is great. Clears up some of the lyrics for me. I thought it was “cruel shame”

    J.... P....

    Me too!

    J.... P....

    I just discovered recently, the lyrics are now on the website: http://www.neilfinn.com/out-of-silence

  39. m.... ....

    This song is definitely one of Neil's best. Pure bliss...

  40. V.... ....

    I really just wanna write a song with neil and make it sound so new age and bring him back to top 10 of charts where he deserves to be.

    V.... ....

    I don't think he really cares about chart success. Not sure it really matters any more to him.

  41. d.... ....

    Ah Neil. You are nothing short of phenomenal. Love your voice, love this song, love this whole album, love YOU!

  42. b.... ....

    Geez what a beautiful song. Neil Finn is a national treasure and the 'Finns' are an iconic Kiwi family. Brilliant!

  43. g.... o....

    is that a different mix to what is on the album?

  44. V.... J....

    I love it. Every thing about this video is so Neil. Magnificent.
