They formed Flow in 1998, and were eventually joined by Keigo (vocals), Gotō (bass) and Iwasaki (drums; joined in 2000). In 2001, the band released its first maxi single, "Flow #0". The group then released two mini-albums within the same year, both of which took nationwide indie charts by storm. "Okuru Kotoba", Flow's first cover single, was released in January 2003. It remained on the Oricon indie chart for seven consecutive weeks and also hit an impressive No. 6 on the overall singles chart. In the spring of that year, their first full-scale album Splash!!! debuted at No. 2. In July 2003, Flow released the single "Blaster" on a major label, Ki/oon Records. In April 2004, they released "Go!!!", which stayed on the Oricon Top 10 Chart for three weeks. In May 2004, Flow released their first major album Game.
A string of singles followed and in July 2005 the band released its third album, Golden Coast. Since the release of Golden Coast, Flow has released two singles with new A-sides, but one of these ("Around the World/Kandata") was a double A-side release. "Colors" is the band's fourth single.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
果て無き空への憧れだけ
重たく心の奥底響いて
頼り無い翼 儚き想いも
僅かな光 全てを消し去って行く
疑いの中で 自意識が芽生える
世界に反射したった自分の姿に
失望の影を見付けるけど
自分の弱さ知ったその翼なら
未来を駆け抜けられるだろう さぁ
Realize! The future! Open your mind!
過ぎ去る風にこの身をさらして
僅かな迷い全てを消し去って行く
痛みを捧げて 可能性が生まれる
それ以上 何を望むのですか?
又一つ大きくなれた時
人の強さを知るだろう
世界は広がって行く僕等と共に
終わり無き旅を続けよう さぁ
Realize! The future! Open your mind!
痛み 哀しみ 受け入れた先に
広がる無限 己の全てが見えて来る
世界に反射したった自分の姿に
失望の影を見付けるけど
自分の弱さ知ったその翼なら
未来を駆け抜けられるだろう
又一つ大きくなれた時
人の強さを知るだろう
世界は広がって行く僕等と共に
終わり無き旅を続けよう さぁ
