RED
Jesse Cook Feat. Djivan Gasparyan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I read that it's all black and white
Oooh, the spectrum made a shade I like!
Ooh, those crinsom rays of ruby bright
Ah! the technicolor li-I-ight!

Red! red! I want red!
There's no substitute for red!
Red! paint it red!
Green ain't mean compared to red!

You don't know what it does to me
Yeah, that crimson sin intensity!
I'm haunted by the mystery of red, red, red!

Red! red knocks 'em dead!
Some like it hot-tah!
I like it red!

Red's my lover, got me covered!
Red's my number and he's a commer!
Red's my drummer. I hear his thunder!
Move over, brother!
Red is a mother!
He's a mother!

Red! red knocks 'em dead!
Red, red, red, red!
Red! red! I want red!
Move over, brother!
Move over, brother!

Go bop-bop, go bop-bop
Go bop-bop, go bop! ahhh!
Go bop-bop, go bop-bop
Go bop-bop, go bop! uhh! ahhh!
Uhh! ahhh! uhh! ahhh!
Uhh! uhhh!

Whoa! red! red! I want red!
That's what I said! that's what I said!
Gimme red, red, 'cause I want red!
Some like it hot, I like it red!
Red! red! I want red!
Gimme red! gimme, gimme, gimme!
Gimme red, red! I want red!
Some like it hot, I like it red!

Red! red! I want red!
Move over brother, move over brother!
Red! red! red! I want red!
Red!
Gimme red!
Gimme red!




Gimme red!
Gimme red, red, red!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Red" by Jesse Cook Feat. Djivan Gasparyan celebrate the color red, as the singer proclaims "there's no substitute for red" and describes the intensity of "crimson sin" and "ruby bright" rays. The singer seems almost obsessed with the color, claiming that "red knocks 'em dead" and that they "like it red" even more than "hot-tah." The repeated calls for "red! red!" are accompanied by percussion that mimics the rhythm of a heartbeat or a tribal drum, heightening the sense of urgency and passion in the lyrics.


One possible interpretation of these lyrics is that the color red represents passion, desire, and intensity, and the singer is seeking to tap into these emotions through their love of the color. The use of the word "sin" could suggest that there is something taboo or forbidden about these feelings, and the fact that the singer refers to red as their "lover" and "number" adds a sexual undertone to the lyrics. At the same time, there is a sense of playfulness and even humor in the way that the singer celebrates the color, singing "go bop-bop" and urging listeners to "move over brother" as they embrace their love of red.


Overall, the lyrics to "Red" are a celebration of sensory pleasure and emotional intensity, with a playful and almost rebellious tone that invites listeners to join in the fun. The repeated calls for "red! red!" have a hypnotic and almost trance-like quality, encouraging listeners to get lost in the rhythm and the color.
