Kaos
Stephan-G & The Persuader Lyrics

The lyrics to Stephan-G & The Persuader's song Kaos describe a range of colors that represent different aspects of a relationship. The orange represents holding hands, the red represents leaving lipstick marks, the green represents shared scenery, the yellow represents counting stars together, the gray represents the silhouette left when the partner departs, the blue represents the emotions left after the break up, the black represents the silence of the partner's response, and the white represents the emptiness left behind in the partner's world. The singer, Chuck, tries to become close to his lover again but cannot recognize her familiar facial expressions. He only sees her intimate light and shadow. The lyrics suggest that love is complex and fleeting, and that memories of romance can quickly fade away.

The lyrics continue to explore the nuances of love and relationships. The singer reminisces about how a casual restaurant may have seemed romantic, and how being close to someone in silence can be more powerful than words. Memories of shared experiences, like stargazing, can be meaningful, but as time passes, the reality of the breakup can hit hard. The singer reflects on the distance that has grown between him and his lover, and how when the heart grows distant, details become blurred. The lyrics conclude with the singer acknowledging that love is not just light, but also shadow, and that laughter can turn into tears.
