Black And White
Jason Chen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it the flames that we go,
I’m burning up, you’re so cold,
Like a mass of a flame, I’m falling right back into your arms.
When I say yes, you say no,
When I say stop, you say go,
But you got a way to keep me coming back for more.

Girl, we’re like oil and water
And that thing can keep us apart.
But you, you attract me,
Just like a magnet pulling my heart.

It’s like, girl, this is attract,
And I can’t take it back.
And even though I know it’s wrong,
It feels so right.

Like the darkness alike,
I need you by my side,
We go together like
Black and white.

No more dream and wake up,
Is attraction or not?
I can’t explain what keeps me crawling back to you.
Is it hello or goodbye, is it the truth or a lie?
Girl, in a way, you keep me coming back for more.

Girl, we’re like oil and water
And that thing can keep us apart.
But you, you attract me,
Just like a magnet pulling my heart.

It’s like, girl, this is attract,
And I can’t take it back.
And even though I know it’s wrong,
It feels so right.

Like the darkness alike,
I need you by my side,
We go together like
Black and white.

You’re so close to my heart, girl,
You know me so well,
You take, take my hand girl,
Throw me out of my shell.
You’re so close to my heart, girl,
You know me so well,
You take, take my hand girl,
Throw me out of my shell.

It’s like, girl, this is attract,
And I can’t take it back.
And even though I know it’s wrong,
It feels so right.

Like the darkness alike,
I need you by my side,




We go together like
Black and white.

Overall Meaning

In Jason Chen's song "Black and White," the lyrics explore the dynamic between two people who seem to be opposite forces. The first verse demonstrates the singer's tumultuous relationship with his partner, as he notes that they're like "oil and water" and often have conflicting opinions. Despite this, he can't resist her magnetic pull and keeps coming back for more, even though he knows it's not necessarily right. The chorus reinforces this idea, suggesting that the two of them are better together despite their differences, much like black and white complement each other.


Throughout the song, it's clear that the singer is wrestling with his feelings about the relationship. He can't decide whether he's attracted to the other person because of genuine feelings or an inexplicable pull towards them, and he questions whether it's worth continuing despite their differences. The verse that follows the chorus deepens this struggle, as he isn't sure whether he's dreaming or waking up to reality regarding the situation.


Overall, the song captures the ambiguity and confusion that comes with tumultuous relationships. It suggests that sometimes, people are drawn to each other despite their differences, and the reasons behind this attraction can be difficult to discern.
