They are best known for their nuanced approach of combining lo-fi, cerebral groove-oriented elements with anthemic, often bombastic themes, reminiscent of the early 00’s garage rock revival.

Neon Roses
The Technicolors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna feel like you feel tonight
Tonight
Say your prayers and I'll be alright
Spit me up and I'll wonder why
Cause I'll never see this place again
But I still can't find (?)
But I never knew at all
Don't let it happen to ya
Neon roses after midnight
Starlet poses after your lie
Oh, no
So lay your head right next to my mind
Dream me in and out of your crimes
Tonight
Cause we'll never see this place again
But I still can't find (?)
And it's a thrill slow shot reaction
But I never knew you at all
Don't let it happen, oh
I never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
At all
Don't let it happen to you now
Slow down and wonder why we'll never see this place again
'Cause I still can't find (?)
It's a thrill slow shot reaction
But I never knew you at all
No, I never knew you at all
But don't let it happen, oh
I never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
Never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
I never knew you at all
At all
The Technicolors's song Neon Roses is a dreamlike and nostalgic reflection on a fleeting, intense romantic encounter. The lyrics describe a desire to feel the same way as the person he is with, indicated by the repeated phrase "wanna feel like you feel tonight." With its mention of "neon roses" and "starlet poses," the language used in the song adds to the dreamlike quality of the moment. The singer is aware that this moment is fleeting and that he will never see this place again. He is trying to hold on to the thrill of the moment, but also acknowledges that he never really knew the person he was with - "But I never knew you at all." There is an element of danger implied in the lyrics as well, as the singer asks the person he is with not to let "it" happen to them, but it is not clear what "it" is.
The vocals on this track are melancholy and wistful, matching the nostalgic tone of the lyrics. The instrumental arrangement is also dreamlike, with shimmering guitars and atmospheric synth textures creating a hazy sonic landscape. Overall, Neon Roses is a bittersweet reflection on a passionate moment that cannot be recaptured.
