Colors
Felix Räuber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the uncertainty won't let me go
i'm torn between disdain
and a love that's above all
I know this is flawed
but i don't wanna be alone
my heart is in your hands
my heart is in your hands
and i can't find a way to let you go
and you even control the colors, colors, colors
in my head
and you even conduct the choirs, choirs, choirs
in my head
i wanna leave you
but i need you
to stay and tear me up
see, you even control the colors, colors, colors
in my head
forget about my needs
it's Always gonna be you first
i'm completely giving in,
lose myself and i don't know what's worse
to know what you have done
or to let it be ignored
still my heart is in your hands
and i can't find a way to let you go
and you even control the colors, colors, colors
in my head
and you even conduct the choirs, choirs, choirs
in my head
i wanna leave you
but i need you
to stay and tear me up
see, you even control the colors, colors, colors
in my head
The lyrics of Felix Räuber's song "Colors" convey the struggle of being in a toxic relationship where the singer is torn between love and disdain for their partner. The uncertainty of the situation is overwhelming and inhibits any rational decision-making. The singer admits to themselves that the situation is flawed, but they cling to their partner out of fear of being alone. The partner has a hold over them that extends to not only the emotional but the physical realm as well. They control the singer's every thought and emotion, conduct the choirs in their head, and dictate the colors in which they see the world.
The chorus repeats the idea that the partner controls the singer's thoughts, using the metaphor of colors and choirs. Despite the toxic nature of the relationship, the singer struggles with the desire to leave and stay with their partner. They acknowledge that they are losing themselves in the relationship but can't seem to let go. The last few lines where the singer asks themselves whether knowing what their partner has done is better or worse than ignoring it, shows their internal struggle and confusion. The lyrics are reflective of the complicated emotions one might feel while in a toxic relationship, where leaving is not always an easy option.

Mich beim durchstöbern meiner alten MP3 Sammlung gefragt was aus Polarkreis18 geworden ist und bin hier gelandet. Wahnsinnig tolles Lied und echt schade das heutzutage jeder musikalische Dreck in die Charts kommt und dieses Lied nur 33000 Aufrufe hat. Quantität sagt aber zum Glück nie etwas über Qualität aus.
