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
Love Language
Crooked Colours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the damage unseen, fractured underneath
You're the same kind of crazy as I
Got a temper like fire, heart on your sleeve
These vacant conversations make you
Occupy my thoughts
And these awkward situations got me
So speak your love language to me
I understand just what you need
No one can hear it like me
Hear, hear
So speak your love language to me
I understand just what you need (what you needеd)
No one can hear it like mе
Like me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
So speak your love language to me
I understand just what you need (what you needed)
No one can hear it like me
I hear (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm tripping all over these words
My vision is blurred, can't see a thing
You know how to calm me right down
If I make enough sound, you rescue me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
These vacant conversations make you
Occupy my thoughts
And these awkward situations got me
Feeling out of touch
So speak your love language to me
I understand just what you need
No one can hear it like me
Hear, hear
So speak your love language to me
I understand just what you need (what you needed)
No one can hear it like me
Like me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
So speak your love language to me
I understand just what you need (what you needed)
No one can hear it like me
Hear, I hear (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh)
(What you needed)
(Ooh)
Ooh
The lyrics to Crooked Colours' "Love Language" are about two people who are broken and crazy in similar ways. They both have emotional baggage and unresolved issues that they keep hidden from the world. However, they can relate to each other and understand each other's pain because they have been through similar experiences. The first two lines, "You're the same kind of broken as me/All the damage unseen, fractured underneath," convey this idea of hidden pain and shared suffering. The next two lines, "You're the same kind of crazy as I/Got a temper like fire, heart on your sleeve," touch upon their similarities in personality as well.
The chorus, "So speak your love language to me/I understand just what you need/No one can hear it like me/Hear, hear," highlights the importance of communication and understanding in their relationship. They have a unique connection, and they know what the other person needs without having to say it explicitly. The line "No one can hear it like me" suggests that there is no one else who can understand them the way they understand each other.
The second verse talks about how sometimes they struggle to express themselves and communicate effectively. They have "vacant conversations" and "awkward situations" that make them feel out of touch. However, they have each other to lean on and support each other through their struggles.
Overall, "Love Language" is a heartfelt song that touches upon the themes of shared pain, understanding, and communication in a relationship.
