Seventeen
Color Palette Lyrics

The lyrics to Color Palette's "Seventeen" convey the conflicting emotions of wanting to pursue a passionate connection with someone, while simultaneously knowing it may not be a good idea. The opening lines, "Follow you blindly into a fire, Into the depths of my denial" suggest that the singer is aware of the potential danger, but cannot resist the urge to pursue the connection. The use of "Sinking fast and hit the floor" reinforces this sentiment, indicating a sense of helplessness and inevitability.

The chorus of the song - "Tell me that you felt it, Tell me that it wasn't only me, If only for a moment, We were closer than we've ever been Seventeen" - reflects a longing for mutual acknowledgement and validation of the intense emotions felt. The use of "Seventeen" in the chorus seems to indicate a specific moment in time, perhaps a time where the singer first experienced these powerful emotions.

The final verse's imagery of "Shadows on the walls of my heart, We were too far apart" suggests a belief that the relationship may not have been entirely healthy or sustainable, but nonetheless left an indelible mark on the singer. The overall tone of the song conveys a sense of melancholy and longing for something that may never be fully attainable.
