Signs

The song 'Signs' takes listeners on a search for direction and the emotional struggle of making choices without clear indicators. The opening verse lays the groundwork for a sense of indecision, conveyed by Luca Hänni's vivid images of standing at a crossroads waiting for an 'open door.' As the song progresses, it reveals the internal tug-of-war between staying in place or venturing into the unknown, creating a tension that is both relatable and stirring.

Transforming hesitation into resolve, Luca Hänni offers a solution through the recurring 'Hey-ya' refrain, representing the shift from uncertainty to confidence. The pre-chorus and chorus establish the emotional climax, as he recognizes a significant other as his reason to surmount inertia and fear. This pivotal point marks a transition from self-doubt to a sense of purpose, driven by partnership and mutual support.

The second verse and the bridge extend this motif of growth and determination, highlighting the importance of moving forward despite challenges. The emotional journey climaxes as Luca Hänni entwines elements of risk-taking with the comfort found in togetherness, compelling listeners to recognize the value of shared experiences in nurturing courage, implying that love and companionship are sources of boundless strength.

Closing the song, the outro ebbs into a powerful message — that embracing vulnerability and taking risks is essential, and it's amplified by the presence of a special someone. 'Signs' ultimately leaves the audience with an empowering reminder that while life may lack clear signage, the risks we take with trusted allies can lead to beautiful destinations.
