Colors of the Light
The Freddy Jones Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was a lightning storm as the story unfolds
Colors of the light and the sky was blue
Sounds of spring in the morning rain
And the silence grew too loud
Seemed unreal
Darkest blue I've even seen
Makes you wonder, woo yeah
Where's your mama at
Seasons change and we can't hear
Truth of knowledge brings me pain
Big mama's work you take for granted
Sounds of spring in the morning rain
And the silence grew too loud
Seemed unreal
Darkest blue I'd even seen
Seemed unreal
Makes you wonder
Don't bring me down
See the lightning
Don't bring me down
The lyrics of the song "Colors of the Light" by The Freddy Jones Band describe a moment in time where the singer is struck by the power and beauty of a lightning storm. The wind is still and the singer's feet are cold as they witness the colors of the lightning and the blue sky. The sounds of spring and the morning rain converge with the surreal moment, making it seem unreal. However, the silence of the moment is almost deafening for the singer. The lyrics suggest that this experience makes one question the whereabouts of their mother and wonder about the cycles of life and death.
As the seasons change, the singer's knowledge and understanding of the world brings them pain. They realize that they have taken the work of "big mama" for granted. They acknowledge the sounds of spring and the morning rain but the silence is loud once again, drawing attention to how the moments where we reflect on the world and our place in it can become almost deafening. The singer experiences a sense of unreality and wonder in the moment, heightened by the colors of the light and the storm of the world.
This song speaks to the raw power of nature, the connections we have with family, and how reckoning with our deeper understanding of the world can bring feelings of isolation and alienation. It is a powerful meditation on the beauty and pain of the human experience.
