And the view of the Earth,

The only place of the old universe that had any color,
Everything else was black and white.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics from Astral Projection's "Black & White" evoke feelings of solitude and fragility. The opening stanza says, "And the view of the Earth, which was the only, the only place of the old universe that had any color, everything else was black and white." The phrase "the view of the Earth" symbolizes a person's perspective on life, how they admit and absorb the beauty of their surroundings. It is expected to be colorful, vibrant, and full of life, but the reality is entirely different, everything else is black and white, representing the monotony and boredom of life. The lyrics seem to explain how an individual's perception of the world can either be fantastic and colorful or dull and devoid of color.


The lyrics can be interpreted in several ways, but one of the most compelling ways is that the song is about the limited scope of human perception. The universe around us is vast and infinite, but humans can only experience a tiny fraction of it. "Black & White" speaks of the limited colors that we see, the confined experiences we face, and the controlled world we live in. The song suggests that it's time to look beyond the black and white world and start seeing a world full of color and vibrancy.


Line by Line Meaning

And the view of the Earth,
Observing Earth as it appeared from afar


Which was the only,
The sole thing in existence


The only place of the old universe that had any color,
In the ancient universe, Earth was the only object with color


Everything else was black and white.
All other entities were devoid of color
