the red wire
So cold but itβs on fire
You caused this with your desire
So go weigh the world
Now you know
That sheβs so
High like the color color color
Donβt wanna let go
Take me over and sheβs so
High like the lover lover lover
They wanna let go
Get outta my low
Take me over and sheβs so
Go take this pain away take whatever you needed
I pray I pray I pray we wonβt ever defeat it
Her hate will stay the same
They wonβt ever repeat it
And her name will stay the same
Cause sheβs so
High like the color color color
And Iβm over it so
Donβt wanna let go
Take me over and sheβs so
High like the lover lover lover
They wanna let go
Get outta my low
Take me over and sheβs so
I canβt live without my name inside my soul
I canβt be what they want
now Iβm left without
My soul
High like the color color color
And Iβm over it so
Donβt wanna let go
Take me over and sheβs so
High like the lover lover lover
They wanna let go
Get outta my low
Take me over and sheβs so
High like the color color color
And Iβm over it so
Donβt wanna let go
Take me over and sheβs so
High like the lover lover lover
They wanna let go
Get outta my low
Take me over and sheβs so

The lyrics mention feeling cold, but also on fire, perhaps a reflection of the confusion that is often associated with strong emotions. The singer acknowledges that the object of their desire is high like a color, and they are struggling to let go of their feelings. The repetition of the word "so" emphasizes the intensity of these emotions.
The lyrics also suggest a desire to escape from painful emotions. The line "go take this pain away, take whatever you needed" suggests that the singer is willing to give up anything to escape from their feelings. They pray that they will never be defeated by their emotions, but also acknowledge a sense of hopelessness by saying "her hate will stay the same, they won't ever repeat it." The singer may feel powerless to change the situation and is resigned to their fate.
Overall, the lyrics of "Colors" express the conflicting emotions associated with desire and the struggle to let go. The singer is consumed by their feelings but also wants to escape them. The repetition of the phrase "she's so high" reinforces the sense that the object of their desire is out of reach, and the singer can't escape the intensity of their feelings.
