Colours
Emma Hewitt & Jerome Isma-Ae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you do it all the same?
I wonder, would I?
Of the promises we made
Is there anything you'd change?
In the re-runs of our lives
If I could call you for a day
I would
All the colors that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we've been this time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen in this life
And we never took the time
To see where we were going
We were only passing by
And we never questioned why
The river keeps on flowing
The beauty of the ride
If I could call you for a day
Just to hear the words you'd say
I would
All the colors that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we've been this time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen in this life
The river flows
All the colors that you bring
Will they ever come again?
All the places that we've been this time
All the people that you knew
They'll be waiting there for you
All the faces that we've seen in this life
All the colors that you bring
All we ever want to be
All the places that you've dreamed this time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen in this life
In Emma Hewitt's song "Colours," she sings about the concept of reflection and how it affects us in the present. The song begins with a question: "If you had this time again / Would you do it all the same?" This question prompts the listener to think about their own life and whether or not they would make the same decisions or changes if they could do it again.
Hewitt goes on to contemplate the promises made in the past by asking if there is anything that the person she is addressing would change about them. The idea of re-runs reinforces the notion of wanting to go back in time and take a different path or approach.
The chorus of the song is a reminder of the memories we hold onto, both good and bad. "All the colors that you bring / All come rushing back again / All the places that we've been this time" suggests that the emotions we felt during a particular time in our life, and the people and places associated with it, stay with us forever. The repetition of "All the people that you knew / They'll come running back to you / All the faces that we've seen in this life" reinforces the idea that we carry a piece of everyone we have ever known, and they may come back to us in unexpected ways.
The river is mentioned twice, serving as a metaphor for the continuous flow of life. The line, "And we never took the time / To see where we were going / We were only passing by / And we never questioned why" suggests that we often get caught up in the present and forget to reflect on our past and future. The final verse echoes the chorus, with an emphasis on the desire to relive the good moments and be reunited with loved ones.
Overall, "Colours" is a lyrical and poignant reminder of the importance of reflection, and the lasting impact that people, places, and memories have on our lives.
