Colorblind
Phora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might try to make shit right
But you can't see through all my lies
Colorblind to the light
And I might never leave your side
I might try to make shit right
But you can't see through all my lies
Colorblind to the light
It gets so hard to breathe when you're around
'Cause your face is all I see when you're around
It gets so hard to breathe when you're around
'Cause your face is all I see when you're around (I mean, listen, uh)
When you're around
Knew me through phases in my life, you held me down through my worst
Made me see the brighter sky when all I knew was the dirt
You took the baggage that I had like it fit right in your purse
But they say the people that you love the most in life give you hurt
Made you foolish standing next to me
Even still, you're praying for the best for me
I don't deserve the kindness you had left for me, look
I know I made mistakes despite how you react
So I understand if reasons you refuse to take me back, listen
I lost a friend worth more than diamonds and gold
You let me slip once, I started to think how far I could go
I can't apologize forever, that shit starts to get old
I'm just sick of sleeping alone, empty words on the phone
I see the moon and it reminds me of you
A broken soul, a butterfly that's trapped inside a cocoon
I had a dream I spent my life inside a garden, it grew
The reddest roses realize I should be right there with you
And I might never leave your side
I might try to make shit right
But you can't see through all my lies
Colorblind to the light
And I might never leave your side
I might try to make shit right
But you can't see through all my lies
Colorblind to the light
It gets so hard to breathe when you're around
'Cause your face is all I see when you're around
It gets so hard to breathe when you're around
'Cause your face is all I see when you're around
When you're around
Leave your side
Try to make shit right
See through all my lies
To the light
Leave your side
Try to make shit right
See through all my lies
To the light
In the song "Colorblind," Phora sings about being in a relationship where he has made mistakes and lied to his partner but still wants to be with them. He admits that his partner cannot see through his lies and he feels "colorblind to the light". The light could represent truth or honesty, and his partner's inability to see it represents their lack of trust due to his past mistakes. He acknowledges that it is difficult to be around his partner because he cannot escape the memory of his past wrongdoings. Although he wants to try to make things right and never leave his partner's side, he realizes that his partner's trust may never fully be regained.
Phora also reflects on the support his partner has shown him throughout his life, being there for him through tough times and helping him become a better person. He understands that he has caused pain despite his partner's kindness, and he has lost a valuable friend. Despite this, he cannot stop thinking about his partner, even dreaming of spending his life with them in a beautiful garden with red roses. However, he knows that his apologies can only go so far, and he feels lonely without his partner by his side.
Overall, "Colorblind" is an emotional and introspective song about the complexities of love, mistakes, and forgiveness within a relationship.

Leave your side
Abandoning you
Try to make shit right
Making things better between us
See through all my lies
Piercing through the false stories I have told
To the light
Seeing the truth
