Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Cant remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
See your true colors
Shining through
Yeah
I can see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid
To let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors
Are Beautiful like the Rainbow
The Glee Cast’s rendition of “True Colors” is a tender ballad that speaks to the importance of authenticity and vulnerability. The opening lines, “You with the sad eyes / Don’t be discouraged,” offer reassurance to someone who is struggling to find their place in a world that can be overwhelming and hurtful. The singer acknowledges that it’s difficult to summon the courage to be oneself when faced with intense pressures to conform. The world can be a confusing and chaotic place, and it’s easy to get caught up in the darkness and feel hopeless. But the chorus of the song reminds us that our true colors are beautiful, just like a rainbow, and that it’s important to let them shine through.
The second verse is a testament to the strength of true friendship. The singer speaks directly to the person they’re addressing, urging them to smile and assuring them that they’re not alone. When life gets tough, it’s crucial to have people who love and support us, who will answer our calls in the middle of the night and remind us that we’re not crazy for feeling overwhelmed. And when we’re feeling lost and unsure of ourselves, it’s the people who see our true colors who can offer us the most comfort and assurance.
