Maduk first came to prominence via the YouTube channel Liquicity Drum & Bass in 2011. Van der Schoot had started producing just a year before and had given his friend Maris Goudzwaard -- who ran Liquicity -- a copy of the track "Avalon" which was promptly uploaded. The liquid drum and bass sound was the perfect fit for the burgeoning channel and was released on their new label of the same name.
Joining forces with Goudzwaard in 2013 to setup the label and their Amsterdam-based club nights, Van der Schoot continued to release on Liquicity and multiple other labels. With his brand of drum and bass becoming popular and winning both best newcomer DJ and Producer at the Drum&Bass Awards 2014 & 2015, Maduk released his debut album "Never Give Up” on U.K.-based label Hospital Records in April of 2016.
Colours
Maduk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m tired of gravity surrounding me,
I feel the forces of my mind.
There’s a fire in my heart.
I want to feel weightless,
Again
Chorus
My colour glows,
My embers flow,
Like a wildfire racing through the night.
Bring the dark into the light.
V II
I’m searching for alchemy inside of me,
I feel alive again tonight.
I need to trust my fragile mind,
Cause I know I can make this,
Again.
Chorus
My colour glows,
It echoes through your shadow.
My embers flow,
Like a wildfire racing through the night.
Bring the dark into the light.
Bring the dark into the light..
The lyrics of "Colours" by Maduk feat. Diamond Eyes express the desire to break free from the weight of reality and tap into the power of imagination and creativity. The first verse reveals the exhaustion caused by the limitations of everyday life, and the yearning for a mental escape. The singer longs to feel weightless and unburdened by the rules of physics that dictate the physical world. They want to explore the limitless possibilities of the mind, where there is a fire burning with creativity and passion.
The second verse confirms that the singer is seeking to find inspiration from within themselves, rather than relying on external sources to fuel their imagination. They want to trust their own mind, recognizing its fragility, but also recognizing its potential. The chorus emphasizes the transformative power of imagination, represented by the line, "My colour glows, it echoes through your shadow." The singer's inner light can leave its mark on the world, even in the face of darkness and negativity. The lyrics encourage the listener to embrace their own inner light and bring it out into the world.
Overall, the song is an uplifting message about the importance of imagination and creativity in navigating the challenges of life. It emphasizes the power of the mind to shape one's reality and the importance of embracing one's unique perspective and creative vision. The chorus is particularly powerful, using metaphorical language to describe the way that creativity can spread and light up the darkness.
