Colors
J.T. Peterson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

After New Years and I met you (can we get a vibe?)
Tryin to get a feel for what you do
Tryin to get a feel for who you are
Like are u going far or are you fadin
Cause all the rumors that I hear becoming misconception
We hide our faces cause we ashamed
There’s nothing left to gain
Gotta give you my confession
I’m here to help
I want to heal you part Bisection
Now you breaking down in my arms in a polka dot dress
So I let you pour it out get somethings off ya chest
No I ain’t here to judge and you doing your best
Even in your darkest moments
Sometimes we feeling like Alaska in the winter
Like I don’t know if ima see the sun
Like I don’t know if my eyes open up tomorrow
Like I don’t know if my reflection know who he become
We all have to deal with problems
And I don’t know if I can help because I got my own
I wish that I could do something to help you solve em
Don’t get colorblind to life when nothing’s colorful
We all have to deal with problems
And I don’t know if I can help because I got my own
I wish that I could do something to help you solve em
Don’t get colorblind to life when nothing’s colorful
I’m looking in the mirror ay
They say it’s perfect imperfections that I just can’t see
My fears are building up a wall that I can’t see beyond
If I can break it down I’ll find you right where you belong
I never catch what I keep chasin
Maybe I suck
Or maybe I’m just lacking patience
Take all my problems
Box em up and face em
Fuck this depression I’m becoming too complacent
So let me start my life again
Pick up all the pieces and be hype again
Cuz I’ve been high my friend
And I’ve been low too
So what you going through
Just know That I know too
Take all your problems drive away and now they rear view
Self-doubt
Rain clouds
Feelin like Seattle even when the suns out
I’m just immune to it all
Like I don’t know if my reflection know who he become
We all have to deal with problems
And I don’t know if I can help because I got my own
I wish that I could do something to help you solve em
Don’t get colorblind to life when nothing’s colorful
We all have to deal with problems
And I don’t know if I can help because I got my own
I wish that I could do something to help you solve em
Don’t get colorblind to life when nothing’s colorful
Yea yea nothing colorful
Yea yea yea nothing colorful
Its black and white
Yea yea nothing colorful
Yea yea yea nothing colorful
I can’t see the light
Yea yea nothing colorful
Yea yea yea nothing colorful
Its black and white




Yea yea nothing colorful
Yea yea yea nothing's colorful

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of J.T. Peterson's song "Colors" speaks of the struggles of dealing with problems, depression, and self-doubt. The rapper is trying to connect with someone whom he met after New Year's, and he is trying to discern whether this person is going far or fading away. The lyrics speak of the challenges of dealing with rumors, being ashamed, and hiding one's face. The rapper asks for confession and wants to help heal the person part by part, even as he acknowledges that he has problems of his own. The line "break down in my arms in a polka dot dress" speaks of tears and vulnerability, and the line "don't get colorblind to life when nothing's colorful" is a call to hope and resilience.


The song speaks of the daily struggles that everyone faces, and the importance of not feeling alone in them. Even if people have their problems and can't help others, they can still do something to make the other person feel less alone, less colorblind. The lyrics also acknowledge that depression can make a person too complacent, too comfortable with their doubts and fears, and that it is important to keep picking up the pieces and starting anew.
