Beyonce & Kanye West 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.
