Passion
Colorless Green Ideas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My little universe
Do you remove the fear that's in my frightened heart?
My little green-brown eye
My little twinkle star
O please i beg you would you take me to your heart?
My little twinkle love
Can you find out a road that's easy to walk on?
My lovely faithful smile
Please stay with me a while
And tell me if you have the right to be so strong
And the passion of the world is the passion of the groove
And the passion of the groove is the fear in every move
It's hesitated, sometimes it's tiring, difficult and feels like hunger but go on... yeah go on...
The lyrics of Colorless Green Ideas' song Passion seem to be a plea to a loved one, possibly a romantic partner, to bring comfort and courage to the singer's fearful heart. The imagery of a "little green-brown eye" and a "twinkle star" could be interpreted as personal symbols representing the loved one. The singer asks to be taken to the loved one's heart, with a sense of desperation and urgency in their voice. They seek a road that's easy to walk on, possibly symbolizing the desire for a smooth and happy journey with their loved one.
The lyrics continue with a reference to the loved one's strength, asking if they have the "right to be so strong." This could indicate some feeling of insecurity or inferiority on the part of the singer. The lines "And the passion of the world is the passion of the groove / And the passion of the groove is the fear in every move" can be interpreted in different ways. Perhaps the passion of the world refers to the intensity and complexity of life, and the passion of the groove is the rhythm and energy that helps us navigate it. The fear in every move could symbolize the constant uncertainty and anxiety that we experience as we navigate life.
Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of vulnerability, love, and fear. The singer seeks comfort and support from their loved one, and recognizes that life can be difficult and scary. However, they encourage themselves and their loved one to keep going, even when it feels hard.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously
while awake on the left side of the brain
dancing still through the split corpus callosum
till the end of their infinite pain.
