The second album "Tuloy Pa Rin" came out in 1990 and created more hit singles for the band. It similarly reached platinum status and cemented several tracks as classic "OPM" songs to this day. The band, however, reached a plateau with the relatively poor sales of the third album- "Truth and Consequence" in 1992. Various founding members made their exit in 1991 and 1992. Josel Jimenez was the first one to call it quits in '91 and returned to his hometown of Davao City. Jack Rufo, a young guitar virtuoso, replaced him quickly. Marvin Querido similarly decided to quit in 1992 and pursued seriously a career as a session keyboard musician and music arranger. With the varying interests of the members and a dip in public support for the band, the remaining members agreed to retire the band in 1994.
Encouraged by the continuing interest of its fans, the band decided to do a "re-recording" of the old hits of the past albums and compile the latter in a greatest hits edition in 1999.New songs were especially produced, one of which "Kasalanan Ko Ba" was a certified radio hit single. The album entitled "Emerge: The Best of Neocolours" as of this time has reached double platinum sales.
Neocolours songs has been repeatedly covered by various artists through the years which undoubtedly contributed to the band's status as a relevant 80's pop act. Their songs were used in various commercials, movie and television show themes.
Pain In My Heart
Neocolours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let my mind just fly you to the end.
Thoughts of you still linger in my memory,
Wondering why my life is not that fair.
I could still recall, those memories of you,
The joy and all your laughter,
The love that we've been through.
Talkin' to my self, for reasons I can't find.
Findin' out why everything went wrong.
Tears fallin' down on my cheeks,
That I've been tryin' to hold.
I just dunno if I could still go on.
I wanted you to stay,
The tears began to show,
You said you care for me,
But then you have to go
And now I know, you're gone.
I don't want to remember,
The things we used to do,
All the things that remind me of you.
I don't want to hear those songs,
Those songs we used to sing,
'cause I don't wanna feel the pain in my heart
(Instrumental)
I just can't believe, you're gone...
I don't want to remember,
The things we used to do,
All the things that remind me of you.
I don't want to hear those songs,
Those songs we used to sing,
'cause I don't wanna feel the pain in my heart,
And I don't want to remember,
The things we used to do,
All the things that remind me of you.
I don't want to hear those songs,
Those songs we used to sing,
'cause I don't wanna feel the pain in my heart
Ohh...
I don't wanna feel (Yeah)
I don't wanna feel
Don't know what went wrong...

Here I am alone in this empty room,
I find myself all by myself in a room with nothing but vacant space.
And let my mind just fly you to the end.
I let my thoughts soar to the point of oblivion about you.
Thoughts of you still linger in my memory,
I can't shake the thoughts of you that continue to resurface in my mind.
Wondering why my life is not that fair.
I can't help but question if my life is truly fair, given the situation I find myself in.
I could still recall, those memories of you,
I can recollect on those moments with you,
The joy and all your laughter,
The happiness from your laughter always comes to mind,
The love that we've been through.
The love moments we shared unfailingly hits me.
Oh I can't believe, you're gone...
It's tough to accept that you're gone forever.
Talkin' to my self, for reasons I can't find.
I find myself speaking to myself without a clear purpose in mind.
Findin' out why everything went wrong.
I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong with everything.
Tears fallin' down on my cheeks,
I'm shedding tears that trickle down my face,
That I've been tryin' to hold.
Tears I tried to keep from falling but just won't stop.
I just dunno if I could still go on.
I'm uncertain if I have the strength within me to keep moving forward.
I wanted you to stay,
I deeply wished you could have stayed,
The tears began to show,
As a result of this strong desire, I couldn't help but break into tears.
You said you care for me,
You would always express your love for me,
But then you have to go
Although you professed love, eventually you had to go.
And now I know, you're gone.
I have come to accept the reality that you're no longer here.
I don't want to remember,
I refuse to think about,
The things we used to do,
The things we did when we were together
All the things that remind me of you.
Things that make me recall our moments together.
I don't want to hear those songs,
I don't want to listen to those melodies,
Those songs we used to sing,
The songs we happily sang together
'cause I don't wanna feel the pain in my heart,
Hearing these songs remind me of the sadness I'm experiencing.
I just can't believe, you're gone...
The realization that you're no longer with me is still hard to come to terms with.
Ohh...
An expression of sadness and despair
I don't wanna feel (Yeah)
I don't want to feel the way I do,
Don't know what went wrong...
I can't even figure out what happened to make our love dissipate.

if we look at the lyrics and if we based on it, it will turn out to be sad...but if we feel the flow of the melody itself, the impact is cool and relaxing for me.. ^_^
