Colour in My World
Sea of Lettuce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ll stick my head out past the line
To see when it's my turn to go
I′ve been standing here alone
Only a bit past far too long
Seems like I can see no end
The line of life it curves and bends
I can't wait to turn my corner
It can't be like this for much longer

And when I get there
And I don′t have to wait no more
I hope it′s you standing right inside that door

Come on and put some colour in my world
Colour in my world
Colour in my world
Colour in my world

I count the shades to pass the time
Find it hard to close my eyes
Would I ever really doubt it
Don't you know the weather′s fine
Painted grey against the sky
Train of thought's been clouded

And now I never really know about me
And now I never really know who I′ll see
But now I never really had a plan B
Without it
But now I never really know about me
And now I never really know who I'll see
But now I never really had a plan B
Without it

But when I get there
And I don′t have to wait no more
I hope it's you standing right inside that door

Come on and put some colour in my world
Colour in my world
Colour in my world
Colour in my world

Come on and put some colour in my world
Colour in my world




Colour in my world
Colour in my world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Colour in My World" by Sea of Lettuce seem to convey a sense of longing and anticipation. The singer expresses their impatience and weariness of waiting, as they stand alone for what feels like an extended period of time. They observe the curve and bend of the "line of life," which suggests that they are waiting for a chance or an opportunity to come their way. The repetition of the line "It can't be like this for much longer" reflects the singer's hope and optimism for a change in their circumstances.


The chorus reveals a desire for someone special to be waiting for them on the other side of the door when they finally reach their destination. The plea to "put some colour in my world" implies that the singer's life currently lacks vibrance and excitement, and they hope that this person will bring joy and brightness into their existence.


The verses touch upon themes of uncertainty and doubt. The act of counting shades to pass the time highlights the singer's restlessness, and the struggle to close their eyes suggests an ongoing mental turmoil. The reference to the weather being fine implies that there are possibilities and opportunities waiting to be explored, but the singer feels unsure and clouded by their own thoughts.


Overall, "Colour in My World" speaks to the universal experience of longing for change and hoping for someone to bring happiness into one's life.


Line by Line Meaning

I'll stick my head out past the line
I will take a risk and go beyond my comfort zone


To see when it's my turn to go
To determine when it will be my chance to move forward


I've been standing here alone
I have been waiting patiently by myself


Only a bit past far too long
It has been a bit too much time waiting


Seems like I can see no end
It feels like there is no apparent conclusion in sight


The line of life it curves and bends
The journey of life takes unexpected turns and twists


I can't wait to turn my corner
I am eagerly anticipating a change in my situation


It can't be like this for much longer
I believe this situation won't last much longer


And when I get there
Once I reach my destination


And I don't have to wait no more
And no longer have to endure any more waiting


I hope it's you standing right inside that door
I hope to find you waiting for me on the other side


Come on and put some colour in my world
Bring excitement and joy into my life


I count the shades to pass the time
I find solace in observing different variations


Find it hard to close my eyes
Struggle to find peace or rest


Would I ever really doubt it
Am I questioning the possibility


Don't you know the weather's fine
Are you aware that everything is going well


Painted grey against the sky
Appearing dull and lifeless against the backdrop of life


Train of thought's been clouded
My thinking has become unclear and confused


And now I never really know about me
And now I am uncertain about myself


And now I never really know who I'll see
And now I am unsure about the people I will encounter


But now I never really had a plan B
But now I never had an alternative strategy


Without it
Without a backup plan


But when I get there
But once I reach my destination


And I don't have to wait no more
And I no longer have to endure any more waiting


I hope it's you standing right inside that door
I hope to find you waiting for me on the other side


Come on and put some colour in my world
Bring excitement and joy into my life


Come on and put some colour in my world
Bring excitement and joy into my life


Colour in my world
Add vibrancy and richness to my existence


Colour in my world
Add vibrancy and richness to my existence
