Colorblind
Chroma Key (@Psymez) Lyrics

On a beach twenty yards from the road-side
The singer is on a beach that is located some distance away from the road.

I'm back again, 6:00 A.M., far from sleep
The singer has returned to the beach at 6:00 AM despite not having slept well.

Must be two-ninety blue on the water
The water is a particular shade of blue that the singer identifies as two-ninety blue.

It's grey to me, 3 CV is all I see
Despite the water appearing blue to others, the artist sees it as gray and can only see shades of color up to 3 on the color value spectrum.

Green can only hold you in the garden
Green is a color that is associated with nature and can only provide comfort and safety in a controlled environment like a garden.

Too much red will go right to your head
Red is a stimulating color and too much of it can have a negative effect on a person's mental state.

But if it's all the same to you give me back my blue
The singer prefers the color blue over all other colors.

Other colors fade anyway
All other colors besides blue eventually lose their vibrancy over time.

I'm Colorblind, three way tragedy
The artist is color blind and feels that this has been a tragedy in three ways (i.e. physically, socially, and emotionally).

Pantone memory, grey-scale eyes
The artist remembers colors by their Pantone values and sees the world in shades of gray.

Maybe I'm paranoid, yeah, that's my problem
The singer wonders if their color blindness is just a symptom of a larger issue and concludes that their paranoia may be the root of the problem.

You almost have to be when you look like me
The artist believes that their physical appearance (i.e. as a color blind person) makes them more prone to paranoia.

Stopped in the shade of the road-side when the sun rose like a bomb
The singer was standing in the shade of the side of the road when the sun rose suddenly and explosively.

Tried to read the simple writing but the letters came out wrong
The singer attempted to read something written in plain sight but was unable to properly decipher the letters due to their color blindness.

It's all white lines to me, oh, but, things are getting clearer
The singer sees everything as white lines due to their color blindness but can gradually see things more clearly due to an increase in contrast and brightness.

I can almost read the writing in the mirror
The artist can now almost read the writing in the mirror despite their color blindness.

Pantone memory with xray eyes
Similar to before, the artist recalls colors by their Pantone values but this time implies that they are able to see through things with their eyes.

Where did all the color go on my radio?
The singer notices that their radio and other things that would normally display color are now lacking it, which is a frustrating reminder of their color blindness.

You almost have to be a satellite to see
The singer feels that their ability to identify colors is as limited as it would be if they were viewing the world from a satellite's perspective.
