The Colourist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anybody who tells you differently
They'll lie to confuse you
They'll do anything to take you from me
Yes yes, they've been jealous
Of the time spent between you and me
They've been talking, even plotting
Of a way they could steal you from me
Of a way they could steal you from me
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won't fix a thing
This time may be the last time that I see you
Just believe in me, don't be leaving me
I'll do anything to keep you with me
Don't be fooled by the words of deceit
Keep it in from falling out, don't let them talk me down
As a way they could steal you from me
As a way they could steal you from me
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won't fix a thing
Take my hand
You're slipping, it's so dark out where you're trying to walk
But you've been talking
Like life is rushing past while we're just sitting tight
But nothing's going to change until you look inside (Nooo)
Nothing's going to change until you look inside
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won't fix a thin
The song Yes Yes by The Colourist is about the singer's love for someone and how they are willing to do anything to keep them. The opening lines explain the intensity and depth of their love, stating that their love is "of course love" and anyone who denies it is lying. The singer acknowledges that there are people who are envious of their relationship and may try to interfere, even plotting to "steal" their loved one away. However, the singer urges their partner not to be fooled by these people's words of deceit and instead to stay with them.
In the chorus, the singer tells their partner that they have been feeling down and searching for someone else will not fix anything. They ask their partner to take their hand and not let others talk them down. The bridge of the song speaks of the importance of self-reflection and looking inside oneself to bring about change.
Overall, Yes Yes is a powerful love song that highlights the lengths someone will go to protect and keep their loved one. The lyrics touch on the themes of jealousy, deception, and the importance of self-examination.
