Colours
Ravenous Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My papers and
My colour pencils
In front of of me
Give me a rubber
To kill my mad fantasy

My new created
Pseudo reality
Is the only thing
In my life
Where I want to be

My creation of
A new identity
Born on the paper
Strong and healthy
As only a God can be

My design of
A perfect woman
To live with me
Young and beautiful
In colours of purity

My drawings of
Her perfect body
In front of me




Ready to satisfy
My morbid insanity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ravenous's song "Colours" describe the singer's obsessive and delusional artistic tendencies. The singer's papers and coloured pencils are in front of them, and they request a rubber (eraser) to "kill" their "mad fantasy," suggesting that they know their artistic creations are not grounded in reality. However, the singer's delusions continue despite this knowledge. They describe their "new created Pseudo reality" - a world which only exists in their art.


The singer's art is a form of escapism from their life, as they state that it is "the only thing in my life where I want to be." This suggests that they are unhappy with their real life and find solace in their art. Furthermore, the singer's art is a means of creating a new identity for themselves - one that is "born on the paper". They describe this identity as being "strong and healthy, as only a God can be," which hints at their god complex and suggests that they may view themselves as some kind of deity.


The singer's art also allows them to create the perfect partner for themselves - a "perfect woman" who is "young and beautiful in colours of purity." The lyrics are tinged with a sense of morbidity and objectification, as the singer draws this woman's "perfect body" and describes it as being "ready to satisfy my morbid insanity." Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with their mental health and finding solace in their art, even though they are fully aware that their creations are not grounded in reality.
