Colours
Skizzy Mars [Ft. Grouplove] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a man, man, man, man
Up, up in the air
And I run around, round, round, round this down town and act like I don't care.
So when you see me flying by the planet's moon,
You don't need to explain if everything's changed
Just know I'm just like you.

Huh.
Ha, (x4)

So I pull the switch, the switch, the switch inside my head.
And I see black, black, green,and brown, brown, brown and blue, yellow, violets, red.
And suddenly a light appears inside my brain
And I think of my ways, I think of my days and know that I have changed.

It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad.

It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
You've still got your health.

So mistress, mistress have you been up to the roof?
He shot himself, self
There's blood on the wall
'cause he couldn't face the truth.

Oh, knock that down, leave the ground and find some space
And tell your friends, friends,
You'll be back again, gain
Before it's too late.

It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad.

Oooooooooh, it's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad

It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
You've still got your health.

So I am a man, man, man, man
Up, up in the air
And I float around, 'round, 'round this downtown
And know I shouldn't care.
So when you see us there out in the open road
You don't need to explain
If everything's changed
Just know that you don't know.

We call it life
Oh yeah, that's what we call it.
We can't call it at all.
We call it life
Oh yeah, that's what we call it.
When you can't call it at all.
Yeah, we call it
Oh yeah that's what we call it.




(oooooooooohhhhh)
We do it for love, sweet love.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Colours by Skizzy Mars and Grouplove are about the journey of self-discovery and the concept of embracing oneself, along with all the colors that make them unique. The singer acknowledges that he is like everyone else, but sometimes he acts aloof and doesn't care. He then talks about how he changes his thought process and understands the positives in life.


The song uses colors as a metaphor to represent different emotions and experiences that make up the palette of life. When the singer pulls the switch inside his head, and he sees "black, black, green, and brown, brown, brown and blue, yellow, violets, red," he realizes that he has changed. He understands that life has its ups and downs, but it's the colors that one has and the virtues that one possesses that can help them face difficult situations.


The song then takes a darker turn with the mention of suicide, but the message still prevails. They ask the mistress to leave the roof, find space, and come back before it's too late, emphasizing that even in the darkest situations, hope is still there, and things can still change.


Overall, the song is a reminder that we all struggle, and we all have our colors, both bright and dark. But in the end, it's the colors we have that make us unique, and we should embrace them.

Therefore, if you perceive us on any roadway,

Simply recognize that you do not have certainty on this.

We denote it life.


Oh yeah, that's what we call it.
At that is what we call it.




We do it for love, sweet love.
We engage in such things for the sake of love and affection.

LYRICS:

I am a man, man man man, up up in the air
And I run around 'round 'round 'round this town town
And act like I don't care
So when you see me flying by the planet's moon
You don't need to explain if everything's changed
Just know I'm just like you

[Verse 1: Skizzy Mars]
Baby you got a man, I don't care, that's irrelevant
Known for making bad decisions for the hell of it
Young Skizzles, taste the rainbow
But that's so beside the point it's sitting next to it
Got a blonde girl with sass that I think's named Hailey
And she knows I'll always hand her like Chelsea lately
Look, bitch ass yeah I’m staring at you
Top floor, penthouse with a aerial view
It’s Skizz

[Chorus: Grouplove]
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad
It really ain't that bad
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad
You still got your hand

[Verse 2: Skizzy Mars]
All the douchebags, assholes, and beer pong connoisseurs
CEO's, interns, unemployed entrepreneurs
I love 'em all, the hipsters, the fashionistas
Stay outside of beef, took a liking to PETA
My mom's Mona, her mom took a liking to Lisa
My dad's a shopaholic he took a liking to Visa's
I showed them my tunes, and they like what they seeing
A yearly drug tests, they don't like what I'm peeing
Penthouse, pedestrians I'm defeating
The Aston? remember I wanted a Nissan?
Had to change phones, these hoes call a lot
Horse lifestyle, bitch, I call the shots
See me flying like an eagle, save the cape
Gay marriage is legal but my vodka's straight
Promise I never sell out like eBay
I'm just trying to make my fam proud like Deejanay
Hey

[Chorus: Grouplove]
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad
It really ain't that bad
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad
You still got your hands
[Verse 3: Skizzy Mars]
All the girls wouldn't look twice when I arrived
Now they look thrice when I arrive
Now it'll be a howie day when you and I collide
Cause I'mma be richer than you is what I prophesize
So, go on to your 9 to 5's
Had my Stella open when I arrive
Your true colors show, and I know
Ya'll just want me to slow down and catch up to my fast life

[Bridge: Grouplove]
So I am a man, man-man-man, up-up in the air
And I float around 'round-'round-'round this town-town
And know I shouldn't care
So when you see us there there out in the open road
You don't need to explain if everything's changed
Just know that you don't know
We call it...

[Verse 4: Skizzy Mars]
Narcissistic, elitist, she concerned with the music
And I'm enjoying her features
I was singing the Killers, they were bumping "Ether"
I'm looking through the window, man, the view was fucking scenic
Well my song's on, so let that bitch play
Oh that girl's drunk? Well let that bitch stay
Oh she's on her knees? I let that bitch pray
And I just wanna smoke weed and write music everyday
Look I still ride the bus, dude, I'm still broke
And I'm still number 1, bitch, I'm still oak
They told me get your swag up and be a star
I'm trying to have all you tired rappers be alarmed
Got that poker life style, we all-in for these moments
I ain't even in my prime, I'm composite for the moment
I'm trying to lead and have my name be significant
Survival of the fittest and I'm all about conditioning
Cause I'm a fucking star
[Chorus: Grouplove]
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad
It really ain't that bad
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad
You still got your hands

[Outro: Skizzy Mars]
If you're a real Skizzy fan, put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
If you're a real Skizzy fan, put your hands in the air
In the motherfuckin' air
If you're a real Skizzy fan, put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
