Colorblind
Imaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere in the world this morning
Someone's fighting religion or race
But there's only one race and we're human
So let's make this world a better place

It's about time we find
The good in our brothers this time
It's about time to be
Colorblind
Just close your eyes
You'll see
Our hearts are the same
You and me
It's about time to be
Colorblind

Skinheads, gangs and dealers
Peddle their wares of hate
Come on let's all come together
Before it's too late

It's about time we find
The good in our brothers this time
It's about time to be
Colorblind
Just close your eyes
You'll see
Our hearts are the same
You and me
It's about time to be
Colorblind

We're all a part
Of one big work of art
May the colors
Blend into love

So, Imaj what do you think about all this with the confederate flag?
Imaj, how about Bruce Jenner?
Imaj, do you think there's really a race problem?
Imaj…Rachel Dolezal.
Imaj, should marriage be between a man and a woman?
Imaj, you live near McKinney, Texas right?
Imaj, in a world where diversity…
…and color
…paralyzing
…is so….
…polarizing
Do you see color?

(Imaj Answers)

Yes, I do see color. The new Colorblind isn't about ignoring color, it's about seeing beyond the stereotypes of color, to see each other for who we actually are. It's about seeing the vitality of diversity; in our skin, in our language, our culture, our gender, our faith. There's an intelligence that lies beyond our antiquated fears of one another. That intelligence is LOVE."

It's about time we find
The good in our brothers this time
It's about time to be
Colorblind
Just close your eyes
You'll see
Our hearts are the same
You and me




It's about time to be
Colorblind

Overall Meaning

The song "Colorblind" by Imaj is a call for unity and acceptance, urging listeners to see beyond the differences of skin color, religion, and race. It acknowledges the existence of conflicts in the world, fueled by hate and prejudice, and encourages people to come together and make the world a better place. The chorus emphasizes the need to be "colorblind," which doesn't mean ignoring the reality of color, but rather seeing each other for who we really are beyond superficial differences.


The lyrics also reference the negative impact of divisive groups like skinheads and gangs, who spread hatred and intolerance. Imaj sings about the urgency to find the good in our brothers, to come together before it's too late, and to embrace diversity as a work of art that blends into love.


In an interview, Imaj clarifies that being colorblind means looking beyond stereotypes and recognizing the unique value that each person brings to the table. The song is a message of hope and a reminder that love, empathy, and understanding are more powerful than hate.
