True Colors
Zedd; Kesha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Higher than I see, is there something there for me?
Pulling back the reins, letting go again
I'm not afraid, I'm not
All my life, one page at a time
I'll show you my, my true colors
No, no, no, no, I won't apologize for the fire in my eyes
A promise with the lie is broken by design
What we thought we knew has been swallowed by the truth
It's time to light the flame, right before it rains
I'm not afraid, I'm not
All my life, one page at a time
I'll show you my, my true colors
No, no, no, no, I won't apologize for the fire in my eyes
Let me show you my, my true colors, it ain't no rainbow
Something tells me I know nothing at all
We've escaped our capture
Yet we have our masters
And somehow it's like I've waited
All my life, one page at a time
I'll show you my, my true colors
No, no, no, no, I won't apologize for the fire in my eyes
Let me show you my, my true colors, it ain't no rainbow

He literally stepped out and gave Kesha a chance to remake music after the hell she's been through, who care if it isn't like the usual Zedd you like! This is special and Kesha is making a powerful comeback
