Everybody needs affection
Looking for a deep connection
So put a little bit of love in my life today
Everybody needs some shelter
Spend a little time together
Come into my arms
Color my world
Draw on my heart
Take a picture of what you think love looks like in your imagination
Write on my soul
Everything you know
Use every word you've ever heard
To color my world

Living life without a meaning
I want something real and I feel it when I'm next to you
Let's put out some love and devotion
Window to my heart's emotion

The lyrics of the song "Colour My World" by Westlife speak about the most crucial aspect of human life and relationships, which is love. The chorus brings up the idea of an abstract concept of love that can be visualised and illustrated through words and imagination. It suggests that the person is looking for something more meaningful and authentic in their life; they are searching for a true emotional and spiritual connection with others. The lines, "Everybody needs some shelter. Spend a little time together. Come into my arms. Let them tell you what I want to say" show the yearning of the person to find refuge and companionship and to express their feelings in the presence of the other person.
The verses also hint at the same message of love and affection, but it takes it one step further by describing love as a source of meaning in life. The lines, "I've had enough of not believing. Living life without a meaning. I want something real and I feel it when I'm next to you," bring up the sentiment of hopelessness and disappointment that the person has experienced in the past. However, the presence of the other person makes them feel alive and brings clarity to their life. It's a passionate appeal for the other person to colour their world with love, devotion and emotions.
In summary, the song "Colour My World" by Westlife is a beautiful and heartfelt expression of emotions, love, and yearning. It highlights the importance of love in our lives and how it can add meaning, joy and comfort to our existence.
