Colour Spectrum
Coldplay feat. Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As a guide
to colours that we owe
To the colour spectrum
That colours the cold
These lyrics are a reference to the concept of synesthesia, where different sensory experiences are interconnected. In this case, the lyrics suggest that each person has been "sent" as a guide to a specific color that they owe. This could mean that people are connected to certain colors in a meaningful way, or that they have a specific purpose or role related to those colors.
The reference to the "colour spectrum" suggests that this connection to color is a universal phenomenon, and that colors are not just visual, but also have emotional, psychological, and perhaps even spiritual significance. The fact that this phenomenon "colours the cold" suggests that it brings life and vibrancy to what might otherwise be mundane or bleak.
