You See Red
Oliver Koletzki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're just pretending
We both know what the end entails
And that dream has turned into a nightmare
You took me by the heart it was made to be forever
Found it beating in your hands
Now our hearts won't be together
Shoulder but it's demons of the past
That you just can't get over
All you see is red
There's a storm in your head
And you won't give up till my
Blood turns blue
But it's killing you
Cause all you see is red
Red, red, red
All you see is red, red, red
Am I dreaming or running down a rabbit hole
As I move forward I'm slowly losing all control
And that dream has turned into a nightmare
You took me by the heart, it was made to be forever
Found it beating in your hands
Now our hearts won't be together
I just want to walk with an angel on my shoulder
But it's demons of the past that you just can't get over
All you see is red
There's a storm in your head
And you won't give up till my
Blood turns blue
But it's killing you
Here's a crown made of thorns
That you wear
Don't you know it's only your selfish
Smile that you're trying to hide
Cause all you see is red
All you see is red
Cause all you see is red
All you see is red
The lyrics of "You See Red" by Oliver Koletzki feat. Dear Prudence depict a relationship that feels like a roller-coaster ride. The opening line "Feels like dreaming while lying on a bed of nails" sets the tone for a tumultuous relationship that is routinely taxing on the individuals involved. The singers know that the end of their relationship is inevitable, but they keep pretending. The dreams that they once had have now turned into a nightmare, and they are losing control over the situation.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "All you see is red," implying that one of the individuals involved in the relationship is fixated on something to the point of obsession. Their mind is consumed with the color red, which could symbolize passion, anger, or even danger. They have a "storm in their head" that won't let up until they achieve what they want. The singer knows that it's taking a toll on the other person, as evidenced by the line "But it's killing you." The song ends on a somber note, with the image of a "crown made of thorns" and the realization that the other person is hiding a "selfish smile."
In summary, "You See Red" is a song about a relationship that is doomed to fail because of one person's fixation on something they cannot achieve. The playful melody, combined with the somber lyrics, creates a powerful emotional impact, making it a standout track.
