Color
Maria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pretending to be yellow when you're blue
And forget what's yellow
And forget what's blue
Love always gives
Love always takes
Your love is strong
Your love is frail
And we run, we run, we run
And we run, we run to where?
We don't know
And we cry, we cry, we cry
And we cry, we cry for what?
We don't know
I think i got lost
I lost my way home
Silence might be too loud when
You're not around
And i have no clue
What i have to do?
Your voice could be healing
Your hands could be my home
Pretending to be yellow
When you're red
And forget what's yellow and forget what's red
Feeling a fool when you're away
I need you, grab my ponytail
And we run, we run, we run
And we run, we run to where?
We don't know
And we cry, we cry, we cry
And we cry, we cry for what?
We don't know
I think i got lost
I lost my way home
Silence might be too loud when
You're not around
And i have no clue
What i have to do?
Your voice could be healing
Your hands could be my home
Now it's my turn
To spit all my love
Got limited bars but neither a block
To tell you 'bout how you repaired my clock
Locked, you are my desired shock
Dosed by the Fairytale that in childhood
I used to dream as the unreachable sparkle




Now that I'm talking 'bout us, You and I
It sounds in my soul like this music can't lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maria's song "Color in" are contemplative and introspective as the singer explores the depth of emotions that come with love. The imagery of colors and how they represent feelings provides a metaphor for the conflicting emotions that love can evoke. The opening lines, "Pretending to be yellow when you're blue, and forget what's yellow and forget what's blue," suggest that sometimes people try to hide their true emotions and ignore the ones that do not fit the desired image they want to portray. However, love has its ways of revealing their true selves, as "Love always gives, Love always takes," exemplifying how being vulnerable and honest is necessary in relationships.


The next section of the song talks about the pain and confusion that come with love. The lines "And we run, we run, we run, and we run, we run to where? We don't know, and we cry, we cry, we cry, and we cry, we cry for what? We don't know" suggest that sometimes love can be overwhelming, and people do not necessarily know what they are running towards or why they are crying. The confusion and lack of direction that comes with love can make people feel lost, making them question their path, as the line "I think I got lost, I lost my way home" suggests.


The chorus repeats the sentiment mentioned before, with the focus being on the silence that comes with missing someone. "Silence might be too loud when you're not around, and I have no clue what I have to do. Your voice could be healing, your hands could be my home." The quietness absence brings and the longing for the loved one is a universal feeling that the songwriter captures elegantly. The final section features a rap section where the singer expresses their love and gratitude for their partner, showing that love is not all pain and confusion but can be a healing force that brings light into a person's life.

I may have limited communication, but nothing is truly preventing me from expressing myself


To tell you 'bout how you repaired my clock
To tell you how you've helped me heal and move forward


Locked, you are my desired shock
It's like you hold the key to my heart


Dosed by a Fairytale that in childhood
Influenced by the fairytales I grew up with


I used to dream as the unreachable sparkle
I used to dream of something that seemed impossible to achieve


Now that I'm talking 'bout us
Now that I'm talking about our relationship


You and I
Our relationship


It sounds in my soul like this music can't lie
It feels right in my heart, like the music is telling the truth
