Colors
Mahony & Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up to the morning sky first
Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground, I shake leaves back down
To the brown, brown, brown, brown 'til I'm clean
Then I walked where I'd be shaded by the trees
By a meadow of green
For about a mile
I'm headed to town, town, town in style

With all my favorite colors (yes, sir)
All my favorite colors (right on)
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

It's a-good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

Now take me to the other side
Where the baby blues birds fly
In grey clouds, or white walls
Or blue skies we gon' fly, feel alright
Now we gon' ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
Each time like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
And at least I can say I anticipate
A homecome parade as we renegade in the morning light

With all my favorite colors (yes sir)
All my favorite colors (yes ma'am)
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

All my favorite colors (right)
All my favorite colors (yes ma'am)
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

It's good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors




My sisters and my brothers, they see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

Line by Line Meaning

I woke up to the morning sky first
I opened my eyes to see the bright blue sky in the morning


Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
The sky was the expected shade of light blue, just as we had predicted


When I get up off this ground, I shake leaves back down
As I stand up from the ground, I brush the leaves off of myself


To the brown, brown, brown, brown 'til I'm clean
I shake the leaves until I'm completely clean and they're all fallen off


Then I walked where I'd be shaded by the trees
I went to walk in an area where trees would be providing shade


By a meadow of green
I walked near a meadow of lush green grass


For about a mile
I walked for around a mile


I'm headed to town, town, town in style
I walk towards the town feeling good and confident


With all my favorite colors (yes, sir)
I see all the colors I love around me


All my favorite colors (right on)
The colors I see are exactly what I enjoy the most


My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
My siblings understand my love for these colors like no one else does


It's a-good day to be, a good day for me
It is a great day, and I feel happy and content


A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
It's a great day to see all the colors I love


Now take me to the other side
I want to go to a different place or state of mind


Where the baby blues birds fly
Somewhere where I can see the blue birds flying around


In grey clouds, or white walls
Whether I see grey clouds or white walls, I am free and happy


Or blue skies we gon' fly, feel alright
In any case, we'll fly under the blue sky and feel good


Now we gon' ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
We'll express our joy with sounds of excitement and happiness


Each time like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
We'll keep repeating those sounds with every new experience


And at least I can say I anticipate
I am excited and looking forward to what's to come


A homecome parade as we renegade in the morning light
I imagine a fun parade when we all come back in the morning after a wild adventure


All my favorite colors (yes sir)
These colors that I see around me are still all my favorites


All my favorite colors (yes ma'am)
I still love all my favorite colors, every single one of them


It's good day to be, a good day for me
It is a fantastic day for me, and I feel good


A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
Today it is a perfect day to enjoy the beautiful colors I love


My sisters and my brothers, they see 'em like no other
My siblings and I share a special bond of understanding when it comes to these colors
