Colourless Colour
★La Roux Lyrics

You say it's coming
Someone talks about some event that is supposed to happen

But I can't see it at all
The singer cannot see any indication of that event happening

You know me well, but I don't know you at all
The singer is addressing someone who knows them well, but they do not know that person well enough

No, I don't know you at all
The artist emphasizes how little they know the other person

It's always just on the horizon
The event that was mentioned earlier is always expected but never happens

So my hopes rise and fall
The singer's expectations keep changing regarding the event's occurrence

Early '90s decor
The singer mentions the decor typical of the early 90s

It was the day for
It was the right moment

We wanted to play
The artist and someone else wanted to engage in some sort of activity

But we had nothing left to play for
Despite wanting to play, there was nothing worthwhile to play for

Colourless color
The singer refers to a color that does not appear to have any hue or saturation

Once in fashion, soon to be scene
Although this color was used in the past, it will soon be considered outdated

Been dreaming of blue skies
The singer has been dreaming of blue skies, indicative of clarity and positivity

New horizon and sides from my eyes
The singer is looking for a new perspective on things, possibly through different experiences or encounters

The discovery of the unknown
The singer is eager to discover new things that are unfamiliar to them

Is something to tell the folks back home
The artist wants to share their experiences with the people they know back home

I want to get away
The artist wants to go somewhere different from their current surroundings

To feel the sun on my skin
The singer wants to be able to experience sensations such as warmth and comfort

To feel it really
The singer wants to thoroughly enjoy their experience

Sinking in
The artist wants to let the experience sink in and be able to reflect on it fully

Once in fashion, soon to be scene
The color previously mentioned will soon lose its popularity

Early '90s decor
The artist repeats a reference they made earlier to the decor of the early '90s

It was the day for
This was the opportune moment

We wanted to play
The artist and someone else were interested in engaging in a recreational activity

But we had nothing left to play for
Despite wanting to play, there was nothing exciting or worthwhile to do

Colourless color
The singer refers to a color that appears bland or without distinction

Once in fashion, soon to be rediscovered
Although the color was outdated, it will soon make a comeback in style
