Colorblind
Convey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never, you'll never, see a color again.
Who to wonder,
If you can find your way to me,
So I can see,
And you and me can be forever free.
So take me for a ride,
At least a dozen times,
My heart has stopped beating from all of your bleeding.
So for take me for a ride,
Before your conscience dies.
Forget our love tonight,
Just cut it all loose before you have to choose your own way.
No sense of
Contrast
Everything's fading
The world on
The surface
Black and white and grey and
Yes I was
Born into
A world that never changes.
Everyone's jaded, just take me away.
And my bones are shattered,
By the force of your blows.
And my dreams are shattered,
By the force of your words.
And my eyes are open,
But I can't find the key,
To lock them shut,
So you can never see.
So take me for a ride,
Forget I'm colorblind.
At least a dozen times,
My heart has stopped beating from all of your bleeding.
So for take me for a ride,
Before your conscience dies.
Forget our love tonight,
Just cut it all loose before you have to choose, before you have to choose, before you have to choose your own way.

Contrast
The difference between things.
Everything's fading
Everything is becoming less important.
The world on
The world is.
The surface
What we see on the outside.
Black and white and grey and
Things are colorless and dull.
Yes I was

Born into
Entered into.
A world that never changes.
A world that is always the same.
Everyone's jaded, just take me away.
Everyone is hurt and disillusioned, I need to escape this world.
And my bones are shattered,
My body is broken.
By the force of your blows.
Because you hurt me so much.
And my dreams are shattered,
My hopes and dreams are gone.
By the force of your words.
Because you said hurtful things to me.
And my eyes are open,
I'm awake and aware.
But I can't find the key,
I can't find a way to escape this world.
To lock them shut,
To close my eyes and escape reality.
So you can never see.
So you can never hurt me again.
