The Colour Of Love
Time Has Come Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

lying on the floor, there is red everywhere
blood blood blood the colour of love
im at home but somethings different
the smell just isnt right and on the news they say
that someones missed since tonight
someone is missing. a sweet taste of rust and iron
and on the news they say
that someone is still missing
im at home but somethings different
the smell just isnt right and on the news they say
that someones missed since tonight
the colour of love is the colour of blood
i have no desire to reform myself
the only desire is to reform the people

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Time Has Come's song The Colour of Love are intense and thought-provoking, depicting a scene of violence and bloodshed that leaves the singer feeling disturbed and disconnected from their surroundings. The opening lines describe the aftermath of a violent event, with blood spilled all over the floor and the air thick with the scent of iron. The repeated refrain of "blood blood blood the colour of love" suggests that violence and passion are entwined in some way, and that love itself can be a destructive force.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes aware of a missing person and a sense of unease settles over them. They describe a feeling of disconnect from their home, as if it is no longer a safe or comforting place. The line "the only desire is to reform the people" suggests a deeper motivation behind the violence, perhaps a desire to change the world or to provoke a reaction from others.
