Technicolour
Mansionair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't hold onto you
I'm staring the illusion in the eye
And when the colors blur
We forget who we were
When all we need is technicolour
And I lost my grip
I give into it
We were in love
We were in love
Oh, we were in love (Oh, oh)
We were in love (Oh, oh)
And all we need is technicolour
We dip into the pool
Cold water covers you
It's draining all the colour from your eyes
And as we start to fade
Your lips, they turn to grey
When all we need is technicolour
And I know my lack of love will drown us out
And I know I cannot keep what wasn't found
'Cause the fire's out that used to burn in me
Close your eyes to see what's really happening
We were in love
We were in love
Oh, we were in love (Oh, oh)
We were in love (Oh, oh)
And all we need is technicolour (Oh, oh)
And all we need is technicolour (Oh, oh)
And all we need is technicolour (Oh, oh)
The lyrics of Mansionair's song Technicolour describe the feeling of being lost in a relationship and searching for something to bring back the spark. The metaphor of diving into the blue and forgetting who we were could symbolize a relationship that has lost its way, and the need to find something vibrant and colorful to reignite the passion. The idea of the illusion and the colors blurring could refer to the facade of a relationship that has become dull and unfulfilled.
The chorus repeats the idea that all they need is technicolour, which could represent the need for excitement and something new to revitalize their love. The second verse continues this theme, with the cold water draining all the color and life out of the relationship. The dialogue of "I know my lack of love will drown us out" and "I know I cannot keep what wasn't found" seem to indicate a level of introspection and self-awareness of the situation. The final lines urge the partner to "close your eyes to see what's really happening," implying that perhaps they need to look inward to see what changes they can make to fix the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of Technicolour portray the struggle to hold onto love when it becomes stagnant and the need for something vibrant and new.

We dive into the blue
We sink into a deep state of emotions
I can't hold onto you
I can't keep up with your emotions
I'm staring the illusion in the eye
I am facing reality
And when the colors blur
And when reality becomes distorted
We forget who we were
We lose ourselves in the moment
When all we need is technicolour
When all we need is to feel alive
And I lost my grip
And I lost control
When all we need is technicolour
When all we need is to feel alive
I give into it
I surrender to my emotions
We were in love
We had a deep connection
Oh, we were in love (Oh, oh)
Oh, we felt so alive
And all we need is technicolour
And all we need is to feel alive
We dip into the pool
We immerse ourselves into a deep state of emotions
Cold water covers you
You become overwhelmed by negative emotions
It's draining all the colour from your eyes
It's taking away your joy and passion
And as we start to fade
As our emotions start to weaken
Your lips, they turn to grey
You lose the vibrancy in your voice
And I know my lack of love will drown us out
And I know my inability to connect will destroy us
And I know I cannot keep what wasn't found
And I know I can't force something that wasn't meant to be
'Cause the fire's out that used to burn in me
'Cause the passion and energy I had is gone
Close your eyes to see what's really happening
Take a step back to understand the reality of the situation
And all we need is technicolour (Oh, oh)
And all we need is to feel alive
And all we need is technicolour (Oh, oh)
And all we need is to feel alive
And all we need is technicolour (Oh, oh)
And all we need is to feel alive

We dive into the blue
I can't hold onto you
Staring the illusion in the eye
And when the colors blur
We forget who we were
And all we need is technicolor
And I lost my grip
And all we need is technicolor
I give into it
We were in love
We were in love
Oh, we were in love
We were in love
And all we need is technicolor
We dip into the pool
Cold water covers you
It's draining all the color from your eyes
And as we start to fade
Your lips they turn to grey
When all we need is technicolor
And I know my lack of love will drown itself
And I know I cannot keep what wasn't found
Cause the fire's out that used to burn in me
Close your eyes to see what's really happening
We were in love
We were in love
Oh, we were in love
Oh, we were in love
And all we need is technicolor
And all we need is technicolor
And all we need is technicolor

These guys are stand alone. It’s Mansionair and then everyone else in the music industry. There’s nothing that you can compare them to. They hold their own and no one can tell me different.

I love Mansionair's simplicity. Always beautiful. That voice, that music, everything. One of my new favorite bands for sure. I drove myself crazy trying to find Violet City after hearing it on Alt Nation, but couldn't remember the name. So glad I found it, and all of their incredible music. So much lovvveee.

We were in love
We were in love
Oh, we were in love
Oh, we were in love
And all we need is technicolor
And all we need is technicolor
And all we need is technicolor
