Yellowbird
The lyrics to "Yellow" by 20syl are somewhat nonsensical, relying on a repeated series of words that don't seem to add up to any coherent meaning. However, one interpretation of the song is that it's about the elusiveness of happiness. The word "yellow" could be interpreted as light, hope, or happiness itself, and the lyrics may be encouraging listeners to keep seeking it out even if it seems just out of reach.
The constant repetition of "hello" and "yellow" could be seen as a kind of mantra or affirmation, reminding the listener to stay positive and keep moving forward. The repetition may also reflect the cyclical nature of life, with its ups and downs and repeated attempts to find happiness.
Ultimately, the lyrics to "Yellow" are left up to interpretation, and listeners will likely take away their own meanings from the song. It could be seen as a kind of abstract meditation on the human experience, encouraging listeners to keep seeking out happiness and remain optimistic despite the difficulties of life.

This song brings me back to a happier time.. when I first found this song I was in a very great moment in my life, things were going good. Stress got to me and life hit me hard, and I fell down a deep hole. Today was the first time I’ve heard this song in probably over 2 years, and I was immediately transported back to that time. This song just has that perfect vibe, and so many good memories. Sorry to be the one to put a sad life story in the comments, but I wanted to put that out there.
