Colour Of My Mind
The Attack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
I made accommodations and gave you a comfy bed
For you to stay awhile and live inside my head
You can be a guest or you can move on in instead
The longer that you stay, the more I can make pretend
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
Oh, you go and take my heart when you take up my mind
I gave you full permission and an all day free admission
To take up my whole brain in a constant repetition
You're the one I've wanted, in fact you're the definition
Now let me go on dreaming with my lovely little visions
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
Oh, you go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
Oh, you go and take my heart when you take up my mind
Scenarios with you, my mind will endlessly supply
Thoughts of your face fuel this life on cloud nine
You became my faith and my brain became your shrine
This channel starring you, I have liked and subscribed
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
You go and take my heart when you take up my mind
In "Colour Of My Mind," The Attack portrays the feeling of being completely overwhelmed by someone to the point where they have taken up residence in your mind and heart. The repetition of the line "You go and take my heart when you take up my mind" emphasizes this theme. The singer acknowledges that they have willingly allowed this person to occupy their mind but feels powerless to stop it. They have created a comfortable space for this person to stay and have even given them permission to take up residence. The longer they remain, however, the more this person becomes a fantasy, a lovely little vision, as the singer loses sight of reality.
The song is an expression of infatuation that is relatable to many people. It highlights the intensity of emotions that come with being enamored by someone and feeling as though you cannot control your thoughts or feelings towards them. The lyrics represent a common problem of allowing someone to take over your thoughts and emotions, creating an illusion of a better future where you are together, and ignoring the possibility that it might not work out.
