Colorblind
Tripsitter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lost, I feel empty, what I need is to wake up
With faith, buried in me, buried inside of my heart,
I've lost it all because,
"Believe in love and hope" is everything what we always pray
But is it love that makes us fight;
Is it hope, which robs us the light?
I admire those who fight,
For a better world, a better place to die.

Is this everything we need to be fine?
Our hearts are cold, even if we don't freeze.
In the distance are colors that we don't perceive,
Correct me, but even if we open our eyes,
We are blind as we never should be.

I can see our selfish faces, what I need is to wake up
I am lost.
This is a nightmare, it could not be worse

Because, we are liars,
We pray for hope and love every day.
We are liars
Now I have fear, now I slip away, now I disappear
When it is love that makes us fight?
Why is it hope that still let me see the sun?

I think I see the light, the only thing is,
I wonder what has become of me.
That is what makes me see,
And this is the reason why I ask myself

Is it love that makes me fight?
Is it hope against the light?
Now I believe,
In the distance there are colors I don't perceive,
Correct me, but even if I open my eyes,
I am blind as I never, never should be.





Am I colorblind?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tripsitter's song "Colorblind" express a feeling of emptiness and loss, with the singer longing to wake up and rediscover their buried faith. The theme of the song is the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that seems devoid of love and hope, even as we pray for those very qualities. The singer laments how love can be a source of conflict, while hope can obscure the light we need to find our way forward. Despite these challenges, the song finds hope in the perseverance of those who fight for a better world, and in the possibility of rediscovering the colors we've lost sight of.


The repeated question "Am I colorblind?" serves as a metaphor for the sense of disconnection and confusion that the singer is experiencing. The colors that are mentioned as being invisible in the distance may represent the beauty and meaning that the singer is unable to see, despite their efforts to open their eyes. The song seems to be suggesting that while we may feel lost and disconnected at times, there is always hope for rediscovering the beauty and purpose that we may have lost sight of.

I said a prayer for Tripsitter a couple of months ago, asking that the next song they came out with would be kick-ass. Safe to say my prayer was answered.
