The Colourist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I fear of what's to come of us
If I continue to fall for you
And I know I can't judge from the past,
I just fear this won't last and I'll be alone again
I don't wanna fall in love,
I don't wanna fall in love,
But I fear it's too late to let love stray away
It's always good from the start,
But after time what will come of us
If I continue to fall for you
And I know I can't judge from the past,
I just fear this won't last and I'll be alone again
I don't wanna fall in love,
I don't wanna fall in love,
I don't wanna fall in love,
But I fear it's too late to let love stray away
And I fear it's too late to let love stray away
And I fear it's too late to let love stray away
And I fear it's too late to let love stray away
So I guess I'll take the chance,
And the chance is if we take it slow,
You'll be the last one I love
The lyrics of The Colourist's song Stray Away express the fear of falling in love due to past experiences of heartbreak and loss. The singer acknowledges the potential for a strong connection with their love interest, but they are hesitant to fully embrace it because of the fear of being hurt again. They express their fear that the initial excitement of the relationship will eventually fade away, and they will be left alone once again. Despite this fear, they decide to take a chance on love, hoping that by taking things slow, their current partner may be the last one they love.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty that many individuals experience when entering a new romantic relationship. The fear of past hurt and the uncertainty of future outcomes can make it difficult to fully trust and commit to a new partner.
