Overall Meaning

The song "Colours" by J.I is a powerful reflection on fleeting connections and the fear of vulnerability. The opening lines of "This brief encounter, Fleeting yet infinite" set the tone for the entire song, with the artist acknowledging the temporary nature of human relationships. "Outstretched arms, Ever so close, Just out of harms reach" speaks to the fear of emotional intimacy, the yearning for connection just out of reach.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repetition of "Again and yet again it's the colour red." The color red often represents passion and strong emotions, but in this context, it's a warning sign. The artist has seen the danger that lies in pursuing connections too closely, and they've decided to take their chances alone. "From what I've seen I'll take my chances alone, Run while you still can, It's safer this way" speaks to the fear of getting hurt or being let down by others.


The bridge of the song is a self-reflection on personal growth and self-improvement. "I must redefine, Reinvent myself, No re-enactment of the same mistakes made, Trying to separate my fears from my memories, But they're the same, Limits and lines are all that remain." The artist recognizes that they must break free from old patterns and behaviors to move forward, but they still struggle to separate their fears from their past experiences.


Overall, "Colours" by J.I is a powerful and emotionally evocative song about human connection, fear, and vulnerability. The repetition of the color red as a warning sign is particularly effective in conveying the artist's message, and the song's introspective bridge provides a moment of self-reflection.


Line by Line Meaning

This brief encounter
A short but impactful moment in time


Fleeting yet infinite
Although it was brief, it felt infinite in its meaning


Outstretched arms
Reaching for something just out of reach


Ever so close
Despite the distance, it feels like it's within grasp


Just out of harms reach
Danger is near, but not quite within reach


Fingertips they beckon
The thing being pursued is tantalizingly close


I won't be a part of this tragedy
I won't let myself be consumed by something that could go wrong


Again and yet again it's the colour red
Something dangerous or risky keeps appearing in my life


From what I've seen I'll take my chances alone
I'd rather face the risky situations on my own instead of relying on others


Run while you still can
The threat is imminent, and it's better to flee before it's too late


It's safer this way
Avoiding the situation altogether is less risky than facing it head-on


I must redefine
I need to change and adjust my approach


Reinvent myself
I need to transform and rebuild myself to better face challenges


No re-enactment of the same mistakes made
I need to learn from my past mistakes and avoid repeating them


Trying to separate my fears from my memories
I need to distinguish my present concerns from past experiences that might be clouding my judgment


But they're the same
It's hard to separate old fears from new ones that feel all too familiar


Limits and lines are all that remain
The boundaries and barriers in life can sometimes feel overwhelming and all-consuming


I'm not addicted to this drama
I'm not seeking out danger or excitement for the thrill of it


I guess I'm just as scared as you are
Despite my outward composure, I'm just as frightened as anyone else in the same situation


Red
A repeated and significant symbol of danger or risk in the artist's life

Some of the big reasons that Marine is one of my favorite vtubers:

1. Her constant horniness is both hot and hilarious, and it's what initially attracted me to her, but it also leads into the next reason.

2. She's very genuine, honest, and relatable whenever she tells stories about her own experiences. She hasn't got much of a filter on anything she says, often surprising me with just how real she's willing to get on-stream.

3. She's naturally charismatic and gifted at talking to people. Whenever she's in a group, that group is guaranteed to have some of the funniest moments and best interactions in Hololive.

4. Her manner of speaking is really entertaining, but in a different way from most of the other girls who go for a more cutesy-sounding persona. I'm convinced that her voice on-stream is almost exactly the same as the way she talks in real life. Sometimes when she speaks incredibly quickly, you can tell that she's just brimming with enthusiasm and it makes her feel so authentic--this is especially evident in her laugh.

自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
瞬間は 何時も直ぐ傍に…

隠せぬ苛立ちと 立ち尽くす自分を 見つめ
迷いながら 悩みながら 悔やみながら
決めればいいさ
君がくれた 言葉ひとつ
戸惑いは消え去り

からっぽだった 僕の部屋に 光が射した

見上げた大空が 青く澄み切って行く
閉ざした窓を 開く事を決めた
自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
瞬間は 何時も直ぐ傍に…

満たせぬ日常に 在るはずの答えを 探して

朝陽に独り 柔らかな声に 振り向けば

眩い陽射しの中 ふと君が微笑む
閉ざした窓が 開きそうになる
自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
存在は 僕の目の前に

見上げた大空が 青く澄み切って行く
閉ざした 窓を 開く事を決めた
自分を 世界さえも 変えてしまえそうな
瞬間を 感じる今ここに…
光へと 両手を伸ばして…

心を吹き抜ける 空の色 香る風

The meaning of the song itself really represent what Senchou feels about Coco

english trans:

Moments that seem like they can change both me
And even the world are always right next to me...

Gazing at the irritation I can't hide and myself as I stand stock still

Despite my hesitation, despite my worries, despite my regrets, I should decide
With one word you've given me, my bewilderment vanishes

Light shone in my once empty room

The sky I gazed up at is so blue and serene
I decided to open up a window that was shut
Moments that seem like they can change both me
And even the world are always right next to me...

Searching for answers that must be in the unfulfillable everyday

If I turn around towards the lonesome, gentle voice in the sunlight

You unexpectedly smile in the midst of brilliant sunlight
I'm about to open up a window that was shut
An existence that seems like it can change both me
And even the world is right in front of my eyes...

The sky I gazed up at is so blue and serene
I decided to open up a window that was shut
Right now, I sense here a moment that seems
Like it can change me and even the world...
Spread both your hands towards the light...

A fragrant wind the color of the sky blows through my heart
