Vivid Colors
L'Arc~en~Ciel Lyrics

In "Vivid Colors," L'Arc~en~Ciel explores the idea of how we perceive ourselves and others through the lens of our surroundings. The first two lines talk about the separation of hands, which leads the singer to be alone in the quiet, searching for the next words. The second stanza uses the image of a train (traveling through a new scenery) to represent change and growth. The singer wonders, "What color do I look like" in the midst of all these colors.

The third stanza begins with the image of a closed mouth waiting for the wind to pass by. This represents the feeling of being closed-off to the world and unable to express oneself. The singer thinks about forgetting about everything and how it makes them feel empty. They want to close their eyes under the sunlight and forget everything around them.

The bridge of the song talks about the vivid colors that are seen through a window, which would usually be a beautiful sight. As the light shines in, it temporarily blinds the singer, but when they try to remember the moment later, it's all hazy.

Thus, "Vivid Colors" is a contemplative and visually stimulating song, that questions our perception of colors and how they reflect on us. It speaks to the importance of taking a step back from the chaos of life in order to understand oneself better.
