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.

Tonight You Are Mine
The Technicolors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching you
The air is cold, so hard to breathe
Still your breath is all I see
Reflect the sun
Light the one that I could never be
Thought I heard you call my name
Thought that I could take the blame
Let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
The daylight holds you close
But tonight you are mine
Mine
In a sense I'm nothing less
Than who you claim to be
But you're dressed in pixels clear as crystals
On my mind
Just one more time
If you could have it all why do you want me?
Let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
The daylight holds you close
But tonight you are mine
Mine
Don't be so naive
You know that you are all I see
And I cannot believe
The monopoly that bleeds
From your pores to the shores of the sea
Let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
The daylight holds you close
But tonight you are mine
Mine
So let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
The daylight holds you close
But tonight you are mine
Mine
The Technicolors’ song Tonight You Are Mine seems to speak about a person’s longing and admiration for someone they believe is out of their league. The first verse presents the singer as a mess, yet watching the object of their affection. The air is cold and hard to breathe, but despite this, the person's breath is all the singer can see. They reflect the sun and light up, something the singer could never be. The singer thought they heard their name, and think they could take the blame for anything if it would make the object of their affection happy. The chorus then asks a crucial question, "if you could have it all, why do you want me?" The singer still wants to slip inside this person's "ultraviolet disguise" and tonight be theirs.
The second verse changes to the perspective of the object of the singer's affections. The singer describes them as someone they aspire to be. The person is dressed in pixels that are clear as crystals, making a lasting impression on the singer's mind. The chorus repeats the same question - why do you want me when you could have anyone? The bridge is an appeal to the person to open their eyes and see that the singer thinks they are everything. The person has monopolized the singer's thoughts and can't believe the power they have over them. The song ends with the repeated chorus, indicating that the singer still wants to be the person's tonight.
Line by Line Meaning
In a sense I'm such a mess
I am feeling lost and disordered in some way
Watching you
Looking at you intently, observing your actions and movements
The air is cold, so hard to breathe
The atmosphere is chilly and makes it difficult to take a breath
Still your breath is all I see
Despite the cold air, all I can focus on is the way you inhale and exhale
Reflect the sun
To shine and reflect the sunlight
Light the one that I could never be
Illuminate the person that I could never become
Thought I heard you call my name
I believed that I heard you say my name
Thought that I could take the blame
I believed that I could handle any consequences and accept responsibility
If you could have it all, why do you want me?
If you have so much success and opportunities, why are you interested in me?
Let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
Allow me to enter into the persona that you display publicly
The daylight holds you close
During the day, you are surrounded by your daily responsibilities and normal life
But tonight you are mine
But tonight, you belong to me
In a sense I'm nothing less
I am not inferior to, and may even be equal to or better than, who you appear to be
Than who you claim to be
Than the personality or identity that you have chosen to exhibit
But you're dressed in pixels clear as crystals
However, you present yourself online or through digital media in a clear, polished manner
On my mind
I can't stop thinking about you
Just one more time
I want to experience being with you again, even if it's just once more
Don't be so naive
Don't be foolish or simplistic in your thinking
You know that you are all I see
I am completely focused on you
And I cannot believe
And I am astonished or incredulous
The monopoly that bleeds
The complete control or power that drains and negatively affects
From your pores to the shores of the sea
From the very essence of who you are to the farthest reaches of the ocean
So let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
Thus, allow me the privilege to delve deeper into the person you choose to be in public
The daylight holds you close
Your daily affairs and mundane responsibilities keep you occupied during the day
But tonight you are mine
However, for this night, you belong solely to me
Mine
I possess you and you alone
