Skizzy Mars Feat. 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.
