Beyonce
Beyoncé Ft. Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche (By JocheAk47) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe that harmonies are colors
Every time I paint it sharpens my harmony
Yesterday I tried to paint you
But the colors weren't beautiful enough
Your love goes beyond what I can say

Love
Beyoncé




Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Beyonce expresses her belief that harmony is like colors. She believes that just like colors, harmonies also need to be sharp and well-defined to create something beautiful. When she tried to paint a portrait of someone she loves, the colors she used were not beautiful enough to capture the depth and complexity of their love. This person's love goes beyond what Beyonce can express through her art, and she acknowledges that with the line "your love goes beyond what I can say".


Line by Line Meaning

I believe that harmonies are colors
I believe that the combination of notes and sounds in a harmony can evoke the same emotions as a colorful piece of art.


Every time I paint it sharpens my harmony
Every time I create a piece of art, it deepens my understanding of how different sounds and notes can evoke different emotions.


Yesterday I tried to paint you
Yesterday, I attempted to capture the essence of your being through my art.


But the colors weren't beautiful enough
However, I felt that the colors and sounds I used were not enough to fully capture the beauty of your essence.


Your love goes beyond what I can say
Despite my best efforts, I cannot fully express the depth of your love and how it affects me.

spread these words!

We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls
"You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man"
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls to see each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes

We teach girls to shrink themselves to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, ‘You can have ambition but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you will threaten the man.’ Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. A marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they can not be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist: A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.
