Red
Santino Le Saint Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me
Take me as I am, please
I made this so easy
I come in peace, baby
I know preachin′ something real when action's half sincere
I swear that I′ve changed

It's funny when I'm blue
I don′t think about the rules
I get crazy with the moon rising
Pain comes out to play frightening
Drugs, sex, and hate hiding deep inside my brain
Fighting demons for my sanity
You think it′s funny that I switched up
'Cause I was screaming, "Fuck Love", but
Really that was my way of tryna take the high way, but
I don′t mind saying I was wrong

'Cause now I′m red
And honestly, I choosе you over my blue
So I popped rеd
'Cause I always knew
Knew to choose you over my blue

Don′t take me for playing cards, baby
Please, don't think I'm being smart
Twenty-one years passed, I′m a jack
Lookin′ for the queen of hearts
You are diamond in the rough, yeah
Not in the club looking for a fresh start
We were dealt bad hands last time
That's why we′re gonna work a charm
Like magic, we're tragically romantic
I can make your body flip, stretch, gymnastics, no practice
Nostalgia, ultra
The beam choon or the vaulter
I can see it now I bless it
The red pills like heaven, no

It′s funny when I'm blue
I don′t think about the rules
I get crazy with the moon rising
Pain comes out to play
Frightening drugs, sex and hate hiding deep inside my brain
Fighting demons for my sanity
You think it's funny that I switched up
'Cause I was screaming, "Fuck Love", but
Really that was my way of tryna take the high way, but
I don′t mind saying I was wrong

′Cause now I'm red
And honestly, I choose you
Over my blue
So I popped red
′Cause I always knew




Knew to choose you
Over my blue

Overall Meaning

The song "Red" by Santino Le Saint is a heartfelt confession of a person's struggle with their own demons hidden inside their mind. The lyrics begin with the plea to take the singer as they are, despite their dark thoughts and actions. The singer admits that their preaching may not be entirely sincere, as they have had trouble fighting their own demons. The singer acknowledges that their way of escaping from their problems was through drugs, sex, and hate, which they have now realized was not a healthy coping mechanism.


The singer realizes their mistake and now chooses to "pop red" instead of "blue," which implies that they now want to let go of their dark past and choose a better path. The singer accepts their wrongdoing and chooses love over hate. The lyrics further express the desire to find the right partner who will accept them for who they are and who they can be vulnerable with. The singer seeks a fresh start from their past bad experiences and knows that they have found it in their partner.


The overall message of the song is powerful and relatable, as it touches upon themes such as personal growth, self-acceptance, and mental health. The lyrics beautifully express the journey of acknowledging the difficulties and struggles within oneself and finally making the decision to move towards positivity and love.

I can see a bright future with you


The red pills like heaven, no
My intense feelings for you are like a blissful drug

LETRA EN ESPAÑOL :
Tómame
Tómame como soy por favor,
Hice esto tan fácil
vengo en son de paz bebe.
Sé predicar algo real cuando la acción es medio sincera
te juro que he cambiado

Es divertido cuando estoy azul
no pienso en las reglas
Me vuelvo loco con la Luna saliendo
El dolor sale a jugar ,a asustar.
Drogas, sexo y odio escondidos en lo profundo de mi cerebro

Luchando contra demonios por mi cordura
¿Crees que es gracioso que cambié?
Porque yo estaba gritando, Fuck Love, pero
Realmente esa era mi forma de intentar tomar el camino alto, pero
No me importa decir que estaba equivocado

porque ahora soy rojo
Y honestamente, te elijo sobre mi azul
Así que me puse rojo
Porque siempre supe
Sabía elegirte sobre mi azul

No me tomes por jugar a las cartas, nena
Por favor, no creas que estoy siendo inteligente.
Pasaron veintiún años, soy un Jack
Buscando a la reina de corazones

Eres un diamante en bruto
en el club buscando un nuevo comienzo
Nos repartieron malas manos la última vez
Es por eso que vamos a ser un encanto

Como magia, somos trágicamente románticos
Puedo hacer que tu cuerpo se voltee, estire, gimnasia, sin práctica
nostalgia, ultra
El choon de viga o el saltador
Puedo verlo ahora lo bendigo
Las pastillas rojas como el cielo, no

Es divertido cuando estoy azul
no pienso en las reglas
Me vuelvo loco con la Luna saliendo
El dolor sale a jugar
Drogas aterradoras, sexo y odio escondidos en lo profundo de mi cerebro

Luchando contra demonios por mi cordura
¿Crees que es gracioso que cambié?
Porque yo estaba gritando, Fuck Love, pero
Realmente esa era mi forma de intentar tomar el camino alto, pero
No me importa decir que estaba equivocado

porque ahora soy rojo
Y sinceramente te elijo a ti
Sobre mi azul
Así que me puse rojo
Porque siempre supe
supo elegirte
Sobre mi azul
