Monochrome
░Yann Tiersen░ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anyway, I've lost my face, my dignity, my look, everything is gone and I'm tired now.
But don't be scared, I found a good job and I go to work every day on my old bicycle you loved.
I am piling up some unread books under my bed and I really think I'll never read again.
No concentration, just a white disorder everywhere around me, you know I'm so tired now.
But don't worry I often go to dinners and parties with some old friends who care for me, take me back home and stay.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life, only abscence near me, nothing but silence around me.
Sometimes I search an event or something to remind me, but I've really got nothing in mind.
Sometimes I open the windows and listen people walking in the down streets. There is a life out there.
But don't be scared, I found a good job and I go to work every day on my old bicycle you loved.
Anyway, I can try anything it's the same circle that leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.
Anyway, I've lost my face, my dignity, my look, everything is gone and I'm tired now.
But don't worry I often go to dinners and parties with some old friends who care for me, take me back home and stay.
Mochrome floors, monochrome walls, only abscence near me, nothing but silence around me.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life, only abscence near me, nothing but silence around me.
The lyrics to "Monochrome" by Yann Tiersen are reflective of a person's state of mind after experiencing disappointment and disillusionment. The first two verses highlight a feeling of exhaustion and emptiness that has taken over the person. They have lost their identity and everything they once had, and they are tired of going in circles that lead to nowhere. However, the tone of the song is not entirely negative. The person has found a good job and goes to work every day on their old bicycle, which provides them with a semblance of stability amidst the chaos of their thoughts.
The third verse switches to the physical description of the person's surroundings. The monochrome floors, walls, and life indicate a lack of vibrancy and color, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the person's emotional state. The repeated use of the word "absence" emphasizes the void that surrounds the person. The fourth verse adds an element of nostalgia as the person looks out the window and hears people walking in the down streets. The external world is a reminder that there is still life out there, but the person feels disconnected from it.
Overall, "Monochrome" is a song that communicates the feelings of someone who has lost their way in life. It is a call for help, a plea for companionship, and an attempt to find meaning in the midst of confusion.

Stuff I/others find interesting compiled in one comment so you don't have to scavenge for Trivia in the comments!
-The FPS hits 251 as its highest point. Which is Celebi's Pokedex number
-The fight is completely optional (Gold leaves and doesn't game over you if losing. You just get sent to the next song). Shows Gold isn't looking to hurt anyone, but rather just be heard one final time
-Celebi comes in to do Perish Song, and it chunks your HP by 1/3. In the game, Perish Song takes 3 turns before the opposing pokemon succumbs to the song
-Gold can sing through his eyes..
-If you play on any form of streaming service, the Unown will spell out "RUN STREAMER." Reminds me of Doki Doki
-It's basically confirmation Gold is being controlled by the Unown, and isn't truly there. Just a husk being used like a puppet
(ANY OTHER TRIVIA CAN BE ADDED! JUST REPLY TO THE COMMENT!)

MONOCHROME V.1
___________________________________
"I'm long gone, from the purple town.
Rates of color, they're going down.
We're all here, so cut to the chase.
Ready? Now, we will start the race."
"Bones are breaking,
and the world is shaking,
chaos from the darkness below, traumatizing,
hypnotizing,
we're suffering."
"You don't feel a bit of pain.
While I'm stuck here, going insane.
It's hard to breathe,
now you must leave."
"PAIN."
"You don't understand how hard it is,
to live in my condition.
Kid, it's contagious.
And outrageous.
Now run away, it's not too late."
"Living this life, and it is so full of strife.
You need to know,
that later your remains will start to show."
"I was just unlucky, now I'm stuck inside of this husk.
Kid, you need to listen.
Something's missing.
You will fade to monochrome."
"Please listen.. to me..
or else your life will mean nothing to anybody!"
"Come on now,
You'll start to fade,
And when you do,
It'll be too late,
The monochrome,
Will choose your fate,
Now don't let it,
Corrupt all the way,
It'll be okay,
But then you'll fade,
And then your fate will be-"
"HELP"
"ME"
"NOT"
"OKAY"
"There's a slim chance,
That the corruption will fail,
But most likely,
It will prevail,
So just don't end up like me."
"MT. SILVER."
"It's a painful process.
It won't let you rest.
Then you'll be dead.
Then that'll be said.
Then you'll be forgotten.
Old and rotten.
Lost to time.
Nothing is fine."
"AND IT'S YOUR TIME."
"So stay away.
You'll be okay.
Better off not dead.
Bloodied and red.
A gory sight.
That is to fright.
One that comes across.
Scar them for life.
Not a pretty sight.
Disgusting in all.
From rise to fall.
Suffocation.
For if I'm mistaken,
Nothing here is as what it seems."
"Long gone from the purple town.
Color rates are going down
We're all done, you've had your fun,
It's not too late, RUN FROM THIS PLACE."
"Bones have broke,
Now you will croak.
Traumatized, and hypnotized.
You will fade to MONOCHROME."
"HELP."

Lyrics for the first two parts:
Soul is faded, limbs are gone
Life is shattered, broken, redrawn
Even those who do no wrong
Still don’t get to keep moving on
boyfriend lyrics
You may think you’ll remain on top
You may think everything will stay gold
But then comes that fateful drop
What a sight to behold
boyfriend lyrics
Yeah it’s probably not as good as other lyrics
