Orange Is Yellow
Polyester Embassy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hide for a while and show no face
Can’t understand the conversation that you’ve made
Can’t understand the introduction we first met
I Can’t drive this car just yet
There’s no gas on that shit
When orange turned yellow I’ll be glad
Now the stranger here to follow of your mad
Can you see the color change the
RGB not keep you in
So how you made this colourful
see in to
my eyes browse bright as star stand above us
So how you made this thing keeps happening to us and
So how you made this thing keep happening to our life
I cannot feel
I cannot hear
the morning rain is getting hard and faster
I cannot feel
I cannot hear
the morning rain is getting hard and faster
The song "Orange Is Yellow" by Polyester Embassy explores the themes of confusion, misunderstanding and the inability to communicate effectively with others. The opening lines "Sleep for a while and speak no word, Hide for a while and show no face" suggest that the singer wants to retreat from the world and not engage with others because they struggle to understand the conversations they have had and the introductions they have made. They feel like they are not ready to interact with the world just yet.
The chorus "When orange turned yellow I'll be glad, Now the stranger here to follow of your mad" suggests that the singer is waiting for a change to happen, represented by the change in colour from orange to yellow. They hope that this change will bring some relief from the confusion and misunderstanding that they have been experiencing. They don't want to be a follower of someone else's madness but want to find their own way forward.
The bridge "Can you see the color change the, RGB not keep you in, So how you made this colorful, see in to my eyes browse bright as star stand above us" highlights the idea that colours can change and bring about new perspectives. The singer is asking if others can see the change in colours and how it affects them. The use of RGB (red, green, blue) refers to how colours are created digitally and how they can be manipulated. The singer wants others to see the world through their eyes, which are described as bright as a star standing above us.
Overall, the song conveys a feeling of confusion and a desire for change. The singer seems to be struggling to find their place in the world and to communicate effectively with others. The hope for a change in colour represents a desire for a fresh start.
