Colorblind
Entrain Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well a man is a man, one man at a time
If he's yellow, black or white.
It's not the shade he's wrapped up in
That makes him wrong or right.
Because a soul is a soul, one soul at a time
Each a struggling world within
He can lean towards the angel or run with the fire
No matter the color of his skin

Say it again

You've got to look beyond the surface
Colorblind
Every man got a purpose
Colorblind
Man or woman, son or daughter
Got to look beyond the line
Colorblind

A dream is a dream one dream at a time
And the body walks the walk
It all comes from the inside
It's the heart that talks the talk
Because a soul is a soul, one soul at a time
Each a struggling world within
He can lean towards the angel or run with the fire
No matter the color of his skin
Say it again
Oh, say it again

You've got to look beyond the surface
Colorblind
Every man got a purpose
Colorblind
Man or woman, son or daughter
Got to look beyond the line
Look beyond the line

Look beyond the line, yeah, you're
Colorblind

Overall Meaning

Entrain's song "Colorblind" is a powerful message about the importance of looking beyond the surface of a person's skin to see their true self. The song asserts that every human is made up of a unique soul that is struggling within, working to choose the higher path of the angels rather than the destructive path of the fire. A man's skin color is merely a wrapping that does not determine his worth or his moral compass. Through the repetition of the phrase "one man at a time," the song emphasizes the importance of treating each person as an individual, not as part of a group defined solely by skin color or ethnicity.

The song stresses that to truly see people for who they are, we must look beyond the line that divides us and find our common humanity. Whether someone is a man or woman, son or daughter, we must recognize their value as a human being with their own individual purpose in the world. Being colorblind means seeing all people for their unique qualities and potential, not just their outward appearance.
