Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When may for you. Felt anew, felt anew.
One, two three, one. The car though pass the sun.
The sun it shines for you. Red and blue, red and blue.
Six, once the number, and my name was spelled out.
And yours was spelled out too. Red and blue, red and blue.
In Little Green Cars's song "Red and Blue," the lyrics offer an abstract narrative that is open to interpretation. The line "I saw a triangle, and I fell in love with clutter" suggests a longing for order amidst chaos or an attraction to complexity. "When may for you" could imply that the singer is waiting for something to come into fruition or for a certain time frame to line up. "Felt anew" is a nod to a feeling of rebirth or change, and could be interpreted as hope for the future.
The repeated phrase "One, two, three, one" is somewhat mysterious, but could represent a countdown or the start of something new. "The car though passed the sun" is a fleeting moment, perhaps a metaphor for missed opportunities or a reminder of the transient nature of life. The line "The sun it shines for you, red and blue" is juxtaposed with the image of a passing car and could symbolize the constant presence of something constant and familiar amidst change and uncertainty.
The lines "Six, once the number, and my name was spelled out / And yours was spelled out too" add a personal touch to the song's otherwise enigmatic narrative. This could suggest a connection or bond between two people with the same number in their names. Overall, the lyrics to "Red and Blue" are poetic and abstract, with numerous potential meanings to be drawn from them.
