Colors
Everdae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So take a look around and see all the different colors
But don't make a sound or he might just take advantage
Such a pretty gown but he took it off already
No you can not lie no you can not to a liar

Uh oh Uh oh you didn't think just cause you tip toed tip toed
Didn't mean I wouldn't catch you though catch you though
And now we're face to face and now we're face to face
As your heart trembles inside
Don't you feel grand?

And now I'm faced with this dilemma
Oh yeah
But I got another question I got another question for you

The sounds of making love but your not just quite like lovers
Such a pretty gown oh wait it's off already
No you can not lie no you can not lie
When all you know is false colors and all you see is light

Today the sun came up with frowns
No I wont hold your hand
If he's the reason why i die would you just let him go
But now I'm faced with this dilemma
Oh yeah
But I've got another question I've got another question for you

I'm leaving town now baby but before I go
Theres a little little something that I want you to know




You'll never be happy you'll never be happy without me
With out me...with out me...

Overall Meaning

The song "Colors" by Everdae touches on themes of deception, betrayal, and loss. The lyrics invite listeners to take a closer look at the people and relationships around them, and to see the different "colors" or aspects of those individuals. However, the lyrics also caution against being too trusting, as some people may take advantage of vulnerability. As the song progresses, the singer realizes that they have been deceived by someone they cared for deeply, and that the relationship was not as genuine as they thought. The singer is now faced with a difficult decision: to stay with this person and risk further heartbreak, or to leave and find happiness elsewhere.


The chorus of the song features the repetition of the phrase "Uh oh Uh oh", which creates a sense of urgency and tension. The verse "The sounds of making love but your not just quite like lovers / Such a pretty gown oh wait it's off already" hints at the sexual nature of the relationship, but also suggests that things were not as pure or romantic as they may have seemed. The line "If he's the reason why I die would you just let him go" suggests that the singer may be in danger, either physically or emotionally, and needs to make a choice for their own well-being.


Overall, "Colors" is a reflective and emotional song that encourages listeners to be vigilant and aware of the people in their lives. It also serves as a reminder that relationships can be complex, and that things are not always as they seem on the surface.
