Colours
Wisdumb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say "Hey! It's the colors you wear"
I'm like "Mayday!" 'Cuz I'm so fucking scared
Trying to save face, like run and embarrassed
With a crook in my neck, is it love, is it marriage?
I can't even walk straight, you're my police line
Every night you're out late, like, "I need time"
Fucking rewind, you wanted me back...
Worry 'bout my pipe, when you hit me in the kneecap
Girl....

Eyes blacker than a redact, dastin over feedback
Gauzy gravel, white noise, keep at it
I was a fucking god, you got me insecure
Relapsing in IKEA, buying 'His & Her's'
Towelettes, miss choking out a bitch like Claudette
Yes, it's about sex, bowed legs, brown freckles
He comes around when she does it
Ground trembles, now, now devil
You're in my back pocket, like a fish hook
Trying to get on the T.V. and be like: "Bitch, look"
Let me tell you 'bout abandonment issues (Got em)
Paralyzing radio silence loud as like six nukes
I'm like a cornered animal... (I am)
Fuck NAFTA, more like borderline irrational (It is)
Wouldn't trade it for the world, not another one (Nope)
Usain Bolt, bitch: colors run

Don't get drunk, don't get distracted...
Guess we're just bad kids, do love The Black Lips
Been a bizarre ride, just Phipe and a fat lip
Still passing me by the farside of baggage
Like I'm running, running, running, running
Dissolving in debt, in my bed, like "come in"
Don't believe in soulmates, but our freckles match
Showed up on my doorstep just to welcome back

And it's dumb right, watch me wither in the sunlight (I'm melting!)
Fittest glove like, living like a drum strike
Heart in constant, life's a streets and my heart's on crossing
Heart on throbbing, gosh darn Mom 'n Dad are watching
Parade marching, never get stuck in the margins
Luck of the draw is... Fucking retarded
Gonna withdraw, then buck up and charge in
You've got barbed eyes, I've got a hard smile
That's a far cry from tepid bar dive hookups
Look up! See the sky got shook up
Dormant like a doormat, skin I never took up
Got used to your gaze, coursing lethal
No stolen glances, I grand-larson-kneed you in the stomach




You steam uninterrupted, and when you walked away
I finally realized what love is! (Yooo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wisdumb's song "Colours" depict the singer's feelings of insecurity and confusion in a romantic relationship. The first verse sees him questioning whether his partner's love is genuine, as she comes and goes as she pleases, leaving him feeling like he's been hit in the kneecap. He compares himself to a cornered animal, and admits to having abandonment issues, which have led him to become borderline irrational. Nevertheless, he declares that his love for his partner is unwavering, and compares it to the endurance of Usain Bolt in a race.


The second verse continues to explore the singer's inner turmoil, as he describes his insecurities and his struggle to trust his partner. He admits to relapsing into old patterns, such as choking someone out, and feeling like a doormat. However, he also recognizes the beauty in his relationship, acknowledging that their freckles match and that his partner's gaze is "coursing lethal." In the end, he realizes that he has been in love all along, and that the feeling is intense and all-encompassing.

I have loved Norman Wisdom films since my childhood. I'm 35 now and amazing humour of Mr. Norman Wisdom helps me get through many sad moments. I sent this great actor my greeting card from Ukraine when he was still with us. He will always stay the best comedian ever. It is great to see these films here on youtube. Thanks a million for uploading this treasure for us!
