Colors
Pestolaer Lyrics

The lyrics of Pestolaer's song Colors suggest an individual who is currently facing difficult times and wishing that people around them will try to understand their struggles. The first verse explains how the songwriter never feels too old, but there are people walking around in black, symbolizing sadness and melancholy. The songwriter is trying to convey that although they are feeling down, they know they have something valuable and colorful hidden within them. They question why people don't try to see the good in others instead of crying or feeling miserable all the time.

In the second verse, the songwriter again expresses their vulnerability and fear of getting hurt. They state that it is the reality they are facing for tomorrow, which might hold some difficult times, and they urge people to try and understand their struggles. The bridge shows self-doubt as the songwriter questions if their friends see them as making faults or being dropped into a black hole. However, they still try to take a step away from this negativity, indicated by the metaphor of throwing stones.

The chorus repeats the lines "Why don't you try?" and "Give me a chance" multiple times, dropping the final question, "Is it reality we're facing tomorrow?" again, which shows the songwriter's fear of becoming a victim of circumstances. The outro mentions friendly roses that cure pain, but this line is juxtaposed with throwing stones as if to indicate that sometimes, we have to go through some pain to come out stronger. Finally, the song ends with the repeated phrase "Shout, shout, shout, just stop it," conveying the frustration the songwriter feels about not being understood and possibly asking people to stop pitying them.
