Red
Tani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were all red,
You were red
You were all red,
You were red

When she opened the door
He told me that she was red
And my cheeks turned red, ‘cause I thought they'd turn red

You were all red,
You were red
You were all red,
You were red

When she opened the door
He told me that she was red
And my cheeks turned red, ‘cause I thought they'd turn red

You were all red,
You were red
You were all red,
You were red

Go to the party baby, you look so sad
Go to the party baby you look so sad
You look so red
You look so sad
Sad
You look so sad
You look so red
You look so

Go to the party baby, you look so sad
Go to the party baby you look so sad
You look so red
You look so sad
Sad
You look so sad
You look so red
You look so sad




You look so red
You look so red

Overall Meaning

At first glance, the lyrics to Tani's song "Red" may seem repetitive and nonsensical, but upon closer inspection, they reveal a deeper message about insecurity and self-doubt. The repeated phrase "you were all red, you were red" seems to refer to blushing, which is a physical manifestation of embarrassment or shame. It's possible that the singer is experiencing embarrassment because of something someone else said about them, as when "he told me that she was red."


The next lines, "and my cheeks turned red, 'cause I thought they'd turn red" suggest that the singer is hyper-aware of their own blushes, anticipating them even when they're not strictly necessary. This could be a sign of social anxiety or a lack of confidence. The chorus continues along this theme, with its repetition of "you look so sad" and "you look so red," emphasizing the singer's feelings of insecurity.


Overall, "Red" is a poignant exploration of the ways in which our insecurities can color our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us.
