Colors
Weightless World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do from the start and I shall do too
The one without colors to wear on
Sings out loud
Long gone is the downfall
Just remember how it was
Just remember, you know why it is not enough
But unknown roads to march on
Everything familiar with
Nothing new to give for us
An anchor to hold a ship in the same storm
No more, a hesitation has chained us for
Too long, slaving us with a safety and
Comfort, slow but surely it will kill us
Fly free now like you were meant to
Do from the start and I shall do too
The one without colors to wear on
Sings out loud
Long gone is the downfall
Just remember how it was
Just remember, you know why it is not enough
Surviving yet not alive
A wound that won't cicatrize
A rotten apple in the end
No matter how long won't turn fresh
You know last chapter, see what comes after
Hear those calls from the future now
Follow, accept them as they guide you
Onward, leave what's gone behind
Fly free now like you were meant to
Do from the start and I shall do too
The one without colors to wear on
Sings out loud
Long gone is the downfall
Just remember how it was
Just remember, you'll know why it is not enough
Just aim forward
Just go forward
Don't worry about me
Don't worry
Fly free now like you were meant to
Do from the start and I shall do too
The one without colors to wear on
Sings out loud
Long gone is the downfall
Just remember how it was
Just remember, you'll know why it is not enough
That's not enough
"Colors" by Weightless World is a song about breaking free from the constraints of comfort and safety, and embracing the unknown in order to truly live. The lyrics encourage the listener to let go of hesitation and fear, and to follow the guidance of the future instead. The singer acknowledges that they too must take their own advice and fly free, without fear of the unknown, holding on only to the memory of their past struggles as a reminder of why it is worth taking the risk.
The song begins with a call to action: "Fly free now like you were meant to / Do from the start and I shall do too". The "colors" referred to in the chorus seem to be the things that give life meaning – love, passion, purpose. The singer is encouraging the listener to sing out loud even if they feel they don't have these things, because long gone is the downfall, and it's time to move on. The second verse reminds us that even if we feel like we have nothing left to hold onto, there are always unknown roads to march on.
The bridge of the song introduces the idea that clinging to safety and comfort is equivalent to slow death. The chorus reiterates the message to fly free and follow the calls from the future. The final line of the song, "That's not enough", is a reminder that we must always strive for more and not settle for anything less than the full spectrum of colors life has to offer.
