Colourblind
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stoned

I say we stand underneath
Heaven's sapphire canopy
You say the sky is blue
We don't see the same way

One of us is colourblind
And I don't know which

I say we walk through unwalled rooms
On an emerald carpet
You say the grass is green
We don't see the same way

One of us is colourblind
And I don't know which one

Could it be I'm stoned on what I see
Could it be you're not

Stoned

I say the colour of love is
Blood squeezed from a ruby




But you say it's clear
You say that it's clear

Overall Meaning

The song "Colourblind" by Clouds is an insightful commentary on the different ways people see the world. The song begins with the singer proposing they "stand underneath Heaven's sapphire canopy," an idyllic and romantic image of the world. However, the singer quickly realizes that they and their companion, who they are presumably romantically involved with, see the world in different ways. The lyrics "You say the sky is blue, we don't see the same way/ One of us is colourblind, and I don't know which" draw attention to the fundamental disconnect between the two of them. This is followed by a similar exchange about the color of grass. Once again, we see that the two don't see the world in the same way, and once again, the singer admits they don't know who is "colourblind".


The chorus of the song, "Could it be I'm stoned on what I see/Could it be you're not," introduces the possibility that the singer's perspective is skewed in some way - perhaps because they are under the influence of drugs. This interpretation is supported by the title of the song, as being "colourblind" is often used to describe someone who is intoxicated. However, it's possible that the singer is telling the truth and that they actually do see the world in a unique way that their partner cannot understand. The final verse of the song adds another dimension to this conflict, as the two discuss the color of love. The singer believes it is "blood squeezed from a ruby," while their partner insists that it's clear. This conflict highlights the theme of the song - no two people see the world exactly the same way.

Fall apart
put pieces back together
But they fall apart

I’ll take what’s left and build for you a work of art
But what’s the point when in your eyes it’s black and white

Colorblind
it might sound dark but I,
can’t help but see it in your eyes

All the shades combine

I’m Colorblind

With you

And I can’t find a way to forget you
Cause the only color I see is blue
It’s coincidental cause the sky is blue
Now every time up I look up I see you

And I can’t find a way to forget you
Cause the only color I see is blue
It’s coincidental cause the sky is blue
Now every time up I look up I see you

🤍🖤💥my love🤍🖤🪐There is somewhere in the world, in a distant land,
The most beautiful city of pure light.
There souls live, play, sing,
Beautiful souls from pure light.
Those souls of space and time do not know
They do not know the pain and happiness of happiness.
They do not know the burden of gravity,
They do not know about the sun, nor about the rain, nor about the bad weather.
Beautiful souls from pure light
One day they decided to descend to Earth.
For questions and answers there,
We decided to incarnate into bodies on Earth.
Beautiful souls from pure light ✨✨💫💫🏌🕺🏃‍♂🚶‍♀
