Color
Gavrosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a bit cooler closer to the coast
Traded my pinks for Blue
Those Colors remind me of you
It's been so long since I've seen your hue
Used to spend hours on the phone
Wish I could ask you how are things
Going with your mom
Did you see what you have to see
Does blue remind you of me
You should find someone new
To take your hand
Tell you everythings gonna be alright
You'll believe them too
Cause they'll do all the things
That I couldn't do right
You gave me all your love
I gave you what I could
It's nothing personal
Take it easy
I just got caught up in Hollywood
I hope you don't mind I still wear your shirt
The one that you like
Sleeves stained with wine
You spilled at the show
Did you see what you have to see
Does blue remind you of me
You should find someone new
To take your hand
Tell you everythings gonna be alright
You'll believe them too
Cause they'll do all the things
That I couldn't do right
You gave me all your love
I gave you what I could
It's nothing personal
Take it easy
I just got caught up in Hollywood
In Gavrosh's song "Color," the lyrics depict a nostalgic and somewhat melancholic reflection on a past relationship. The first verse starts with the image of a cold tea left untouched on the stove, symbolizing the fading warmth and connection between the two individuals. The mention of getting cooler closer to the coast implies a physical distance between them, which might have contributed to the breakup.
The line "Traded my pinks for Blue" suggests a change in perspective or emotional state, where the color blue now reminds the singer of their ex-lover. The lyrics touch on the longing to reconnect, wondering how things are going with their ex-partner's mother. It is a gentle plea for communication or closure.
The second verse conveys a sense of acceptance and resignation. The singer encourages their former partner to move on and find someone new who can provide the support and reassurance that they couldn't. Despite the breakup, there is still a sense of affection and attachment as the singer admits to wearing their ex's shirt, stained with wine from a shared experience at a show.
Overall, "Color" captures the bittersweet nature of past relationships, lingering emotions, and the complexities of moving on while cherishing the memories of what once was.
