Hidden Colors
Broadside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ALWAYS END UP WHERE I START
MY EMPTY PAGES
AND IF I COULD PAINT YOU LIKE ONE OF MY FRENCH GIRLS
WOULD WE MAKE LOVE INSIDE YOUR CAR
LIKE CRASHING WAVES
LIKE NEON LIGHTS WE BURN ALL NIGHT
IN THE DARK
SHE'S PERFECT
UNDOUBTEDLY WORTH IT
A RISING SUN AT DAYBREAK FEELS WORTHLESS
SELF DOUBT IN HER MIRROR NOW
BUT IT DOESN'T REFLECT HOW
SHE'S PERFECT
ON MORE THAN THE SURFACE
YOUR FIRE BURNS BRIGHT
YOU ARE MY LIGHT
ONE SCROLL THROUGH YOUR GRAM
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD
EVALUATING WHO YOU ARE
OR WHO YOU AREN'T
THE FACT THAT YOU BLESSED US
THE MOMENT YOU WOKE UP
WISH I COULD HANG YOU UP LIKE ART
LIKE VAN GOGH'S STARS
LIKE NEON LIGHTS WE BURN ALL NIGHT
HIDDEN COLORS
IN THE DARK
SHE'S PERFECT
UNDOUBTEDLY WORTH IT
A RISING SUN AT DAYBREAK FEELS WORTHLESS
SELF DOUBT IN HER MIRROR NOW
BUT IT DOESN'T REFLECT HOW
SHE'S PERFECT
ON MORE THAN THE SURFACE
MADE TO BELIEVE IN SILICONE DREAMS
DON'T HAVE THE LOOKS OF A FANTASY
YOU'LL NEVER ADD UP TO ANYTHING
IF YOU ASK ME WHAT BEAUTIFUL MEANS
IT'S THE POWER OF A STRONG WOMAN
CHASING HER OWN DREAM
I NEED TO MAKE THIS CLEAR
SHE'S PERFECT
UNDOUBTEDLY WORTH IT
A RISING SUN AT DAYBREAK FEELS WORTHLESS
SELF DOUBT IN HER MIRROR NOW
BUT IT DOESN'T REFLECT HOW
SHE'S PERFECT
ON MORE THAN THE SURFACE
YOUR FIRE BURNS BRIGHT
YOU ARE MY LIGHT
I WANTED TO WRITE YOU IN ALL OF MY SONGS
BUT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS TO DESCRIBE
THE FACT THAT YOU BLESSED US THE MOMENT YOU WOKE UP
I WISH I COULD HANG YOU UP LIKE
Broadside's song Hidden Colors is a beautiful tribute to the power and beauty of a strong woman. Throughout the song, the singer expresses his desire to incorporate a special person into his art, describing the feeling of never quite being able to capture their essence. The lyrics "I wanted to write you in all of my songs, I always end up where I start, my empty pages" paint a picture of the artist struggling to find the right words to express what this person means to them. They then go on to describe the idea of painting this person "like one of my French girls", a nod to the famous movie Titanic and the intimacy that comes with artistic expression.
The song's chorus, "Like neon lights we burn all night, hidden colors in the dark," is a powerful metaphor for the depth and complexity that lies beneath the surface of any individual. It speaks to the idea that we all have hidden layers and facets to our personality that are not always visible to the naked eye. The singer emphasizes this idea throughout the song, encouraging listeners to look beyond the surface and recognize the innate value and beauty of every person.
The song's flowing melody and emotive lyrics make it a standout track on Broadside's album. It's a powerful reminder to appreciate and celebrate the unique qualities that make each person special. With themes of self-worth, self-acceptance, and the beauty of human connection, "Hidden Colors" is a moving tribute to the power of love and artistic expression.

Compared to her, everything else pales in comparison
SELF DOUBT IN HER MIRROR NOW
Sometimes she doesn't see in herself what I see in her
BUT IT DOESN'T REFLECT HOW
Her doubts and insecurities don't define her true worth

She's more than just a pretty face; she has depth and substance
YOUR FIRE BURNS BRIGHT
Her passion and drive are inspiring and captivating
YOU ARE MY LIGHT
She illuminates my life and gives me hope and joy

A quick look through her social media can make her feel inadequate

We're bombarded with images of perfection that aren't real
DON'T HAVE THE LOOKS OF A FANTASY
Not everyone fits into society's narrow definition of beauty
YOU'LL NEVER ADD UP TO ANYTHING
Harsh critics may try to tear her down, but they're wrong
IF YOU ASK ME WHAT BEAUTIFUL MEANS
Beauty is subjective and can't be defined by one narrow standard
IT'S THE POWER OF A STRONG WOMAN
True beauty is found in the strength and resilience of a woman
CHASING HER OWN DREAM
She's not waiting for anyone else to define her path; she's making her own way
I NEED TO MAKE THIS CLEAR
There are no doubts in my mind about how I feel
BUT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS TO DESCRIBE
My love for her is so vast and deep that words can't do it justice

@alexw7303
Fantastic again - especially enjoying Dorian's vocals
@lipglosslover09
The Guitarist (Dorian) use to live on my street, so cool seeing him do his thing!
@jadenandbaden2
Broadside has definitely become one of my favorite bands. Hell yes!
@earthtomartin3484
YO THIS SHIT IS DOPE
Is this whole album going to be nothing but bangers or what?
SO excited
@RandomVlogify
Oliver should be nominated for vocalist of the year at the APMA's next year
@HERKFOOT21
Broadside is going places!
@kyleadams1883
Scieneering yeah to court when victory doesn't pay them their royalties
@kevinperri93
I agree. This label is really shady with that kind of stuff. If these guys wanna go places(which I think they can), I suggest going to another label like Hopeless
@HERKFOOT21
What exactly is it that Victory is doing unfair to them?
