Color
My Red & Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To drown out the sound
But everything gets louder
When you're coming down
I smiled in the mirror but
My reflection frowned
Holding my tongue
Until it starts to bleed
But I can't say a thing
Did you bite your lip
Lying through your teeth
Funny how time makes
True colors show
Too many reminders that
This isn't home
I can't keep waiting
On you to go
Funny how time makes
True colors show
Too many reminders that
This isn't home
I can't keep waiting
On you to go
Holding on tight
My nails are sinking in
But love is a fight
I can't let them win
I guess sometimes
The ice is just too thin
And now I'm falling in
Funny how time makes
True colors show
Too many reminders that
This isn't home
I can't keep waiting
On you to go
Funny how time makes
True colors show
Too many reminders that
This isn't home
I can't keep waiting
On you to go
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Was what I needed
Worth what you wanted
Worth what you wanted
Funny how time makes
True colors show
(What you wanted)
Too many reminders that
This isn't home
(What you wanted)
I can't keep waiting on
(What you wanted)
You to go
(Where'd you go)
The lyrics of the song "Color" by My Red & Blue delve into the complexities and challenges of a strained relationship. The singer attempts to block out the external world using headphones, but the intensity of their emotions only grows stronger when the other person is present. The juxtaposition of smiling at oneself in the mirror while feeling discontented reflects the internal struggle of pretending to be okay when deep down there is unhappiness.
The singer feels unable to express their thoughts and emotions, implying that the other person may be manipulating or lying through their actions and words. As time passes, the true colors of the relationship become more evident, and the singer realizes that their current situation doesn't feel like home anymore. They recognize that they can't keep waiting for the other person to change or leave.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of love and the challenges of holding on. The singer describes holding on tightly, with their nails sinking in, but acknowledges that love can be a fight that they can't let others win. By admitting that the ice is too thin, they are acknowledging that there is a risk of falling into a destructive pattern or situation.
Overall, "Color" explores the journey of realizing the true nature of a relationship, the internal struggle to express oneself, and the recognition that change is necessary for personal growth.

Put on my headphones
I try to block out the noise and distractions
To drown out the sound
To escape from the world around me
But everything gets louder
Despite my efforts, things are becoming more overwhelming
When you're coming down
When reality hits and the effects of something start to be felt
I smiled in the mirror but
I put on a facade of happiness
My reflection frowned
Deep down, I am not truly happy
Holding my tongue
Keeping my thoughts and feelings to myself
Until it starts to bleed
Until it becomes too painful to keep silent
You're in my face
You are close and confrontational
But I can't say a thing
I am unable to speak up or express myself
Did you bite your lip
Did you hold back the truth
Lying through your teeth
Deceiving with your words
Funny how time makes
It's interesting how time reveals
True colors show
One's true nature or intentions are exposed
Too many reminders that
There are numerous instances that indicate
This isn't home
This doesn't feel like a place of comfort or belonging
I can't keep waiting
I am unable to continue patiently hoping
On you to go
For you to leave or change
Holding on tight
Clutching desperately
My nails are sinking in
I am gripping so hard that my nails are digging in
But love is a fight
Love is a constant struggle or battle
I can't let them win
I refuse to let my struggles overcome me
I guess sometimes
It seems that occasionally
The ice is just too thin
The situation or relationship becomes too fragile or unstable
And now I'm falling in
I am succumbing to the circumstances or emotions
Was what I needed
The thing or person I desired
Worth what you wanted
Equal to or valuable to what you desired
