Creating music that has one foot in the indie genre and one foot in a darker electronic realm, Crooked Colours’ sound has often been compared to a combination of English indie-rock foursome Alt J and US electronic duo Crystal Castles.
To date the band has been fortunate enough to play at Parklife, Wonderland and St Jerome's Laneway festivals, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Flume, Grafton Primary and PNAU. 2013 also saw Crooked Colours support RÜFÜS on their sold out national tour.
Crooked Colours will be releasing their 'In Your Bones' EP featuring their hit track 'Come Down' in May this year through Sweat It Out Music! before a full Australian tour in July
I C Light
Crooked Colours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking like everybody else
I wanna be somebody else
Wanna say goodbye to self
Started out big to define
Won't stop till you aren't on my mind
All you need is just a little bit of luck
(You)
Are someone else, are someone and I
(You)
Want everybody else just to stop what they're doing
Now
(You)
Are someone else, are someone and I
(You)
Want everybody else just to stop what they're doing'
Now

Got my name, threw it on a shelf
I'm a little bitter, not like myself, no
Teary eyed doesn't feel the same
Fake friends with their fabricated things
What's left when it all falls apart
When you ruin all your chances, doomed from the
Start?
Once a night you'll see a light
Shining and stalling only just to fool, oh

The lyrics of "I C Light" by Crooked Colours explore themes of identity, wanting to be someone else, and the emptiness of materialistic pursuits. The first verse questions the desire to fit in and be like everyone else, as the singer wants to find their own identity and say goodbye to the self. The second verse talks about the pressure to achieve success and not be forgotten, with a belief that luck is necessary for this. The chorus repeats the lines "You are someone else, are someone and I / Want everybody else just to stop what they're doing now", emphasizing the desire to break away from societal norms and expectations.
