Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever changing, we make life interesting
Some days, we're red and some days, we both think green
But I like the nights when we leave the canvas free
Grab a brush and see where the feeling may lead
Nothing is out of our reach
Our words are mixing the pigment we need
I keep falling deeper in dark blue
Brighter than white, rainbow exploding
But I can't see nothing except you and your eyes
Maybe we'll just paint the night colorblind
In every spectrum, we find the millionth piece
Connect the dots and everything in between
Mmm, dull in the moment, you'll turn it golden leaf
You take the dark away, and that's no easy feat
Pick an orange, watch the shade change in the heat
From yellow, purple and green
Your words are mixing each pigment we need
Can we get started?
I keep falling deeper in dark blue
Brighter than white, rainbow exploding
But I can't see nothing except you and your eyes
Maybe we'll just paint the night colorblind
Mm-mm-mm
Maybe we'll just paint the night colorblind
The song "Colourblind" by Ed Sheeran is a beautiful ballad about the changing nature of relationships. In the first verse, Ed describes the relationship as a "kaleidoscope love", constantly changing and evolving. He notes that some days they might be "red", or passionate, while other days they might be "green", or more peaceful. But he loves it best when they leave these preconceived notions behind and let the canvas be free. This metaphor for the relationship is further developed in the chorus, where he encourages his partner to "grab a brush and see where the feeling may lead." The lyrics suggest that this relationship is open to change, and that they are willing to create something beautiful together.
In the second verse, Ed further elaborates on the idea that this relationship is one of constant change. He notes that "in every spectrum, we find the millionth piece," indicating that both he and his partner are constantly discovering new things about each other. When things get dull, his partner is able to "turn it golden leaf," or make the moment special. The bridge is particularly poignant, as Ed admits that he can't see anything except for his partner and her eyes. Together, they are able to create something beautiful, even if they "paint the night colorblind."
Overall, "Colourblind" is a deeply romantic song that celebrates the beauty of relationships in all of their complexities. The lyrics are rich with metaphors, showing how love can be like a painting, constantly changing and evolving. The song is a testament to the power of human connection, and the ability for two people to create something beautiful when they come together.

Kaleidoscope love, yeah, that is you and me
Forever changing, we make life interesting
Some days we're red and, some days we both ain't green
But I like the nights when we leave the canvas free
Grab a brush and see where the feeling may lead
Nothing is out of our reach
Your words are flecks in each pigment we need
Can we get started?
I keep falling, deeper and dark blue
Brighter than white
The wind goes, exploding
But I can't see nothing since you and your eyes
Maybe we'll just paint the night colorblind
In every spectrum, we find a million of pics
Connect the dots and everything in between
Don't leave the moment, you turn it gold and leave
You take the dark away, and that's on easy feet
Picking our end, watch the shape change in the heart
From yellow, purple and green
Your words are flecks in each pigment we need
Can we get started?
I keep falling, deeper and dark blue
Brighter than white
The wind goes, exploding
But I can't see nothing since you and your eyes

I guess this song as Ed's memories of his childhood.
I feel full of love for Ed's grandmother.
They has ever probably seen the polar lights together.
She probably told Ed many different kinds of stories - fairy tales, Greek mythology, etc.
Telling the stories, she may have drew something about her stories using the stars in the skies.
In the lyrics, colors means the all the sweet and bitter experiences of the stories (and our life).
For example, "deeper in dark blue" may mean Ed felt so sad while listening some Greek tragedy in his childhood,
and it also means Ed's sorrow for her dying grandmother at the time he wrote this song.
My late father is a man who also loves telling story.
Yesterday, the first time I listened "Colourblind",
I listened and cried time after time.
Translated as below:
感覺上這首歌充滿Ed對祖母的愛與童年回憶(應曾一起看過極光)，
她應該跟Ed講過很多不同的故事 - 童話故事, 希臘神話, etc.
也許邊講故事邊在星空上畫出故事裡的角色事物
歌詞裡不同顏色表故事中的酸甜苦辣 (同時隱含人生的酸甜苦辣)
例如 deeper in dark blue 或表兒時聽到某個希臘悲劇的哀傷，
亦表Ed寫歌當時對祖母病危的哀痛
先父也是愛說故事的人
昨日初聽Colourblind，每聽一回淚一回

Im a Jamaican man who is absolutely enamored with ed sheerans music. As a black man, I'm not suppose to listen to this. Rap and hip hop should laden my playlist...and they do to some extent. But Ed sheeran is such a smooth and brilliant escape from reality. When the day is over, and my mask comes off, and ai no longer have to be a tough guy to endure the world..I relate most to this music. Autumn leaves took me through my first breakup. I sung photograph at my talent show. Sofa was played during my first summer fling. Afire love took me through my high-school breakup.
And one day, I want Ed sheeran to sing at my wedding. You aren't recognized enough in the black community, but im here to leave my flowers. Absolutely breathtaking music. I get chills every time.
Love from Jamaica, Love from New York
