Color
Just Brittany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You bring the color,
You bring the color,
You bring the color, back into my life
You bring the color,
You bring the color,
I open my eyes, and to my surprise, I still see you layin′ here next to me.
I guess that this is real
I guess you're here to stay, cause usually by now the one I want has gone away.
I can be so mean sometimes, curse you out just cause, and throw my anger out at you when you may not deserve,
Still all I know is,
If I roll outta bed feelin′ like the weight is on my shoulders... and in my head... you encourage me to turn the other cheek... wake up and smell the coffee cause it's not all about me. I can be, a bitch sometimes think that you owe me. But you, put me back in my place, show me just how to be.
Still all I know is,
No black and white
No black and white
No black and white
Now I know that roses are red, and violets are blue and this is all because of you baby!
Color, Color, Color
Back into my life
Color, Color, Color
To my black and white.
The song "Color" by Just Brittany is about the transformative power of love in a relationship. The opening lines, "You bring the color, You bring the color, You bring the color, back into my life," express the idea that the singer's partner adds vibrancy and joy to her existence. She acknowledges the contrast of her previous existence with his arrival, as she sings, "You bring the color, to my black and white," indicating that without him, her world was dull and shadowy.
The singer then goes on to describe how her partner has changed her for the better. She confesses to being difficult and mean at times, but he has helped her overcome her negativity and be a better person through his example. "If I roll outta bed feelin′ like the weight is on my shoulders... and in my head... you encourage me to turn the other cheek... wake up and smell the coffee cause it's not all about me." The lyrics reveal a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the love that she has found.
In the end, Brittany acknowledges the power of her relationship and how it has transformed her life. She says, "Now I know that roses are red, and violets are blue and this is all because of you baby!" It is clear to the listener that her partner has brought her a new perspective and renewed her love of life with his presence.
