Your Favourite Colour
me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those eyes you bought have gone to my head
But they won't take you to my bed
You talk a good game
But girl you've been played
Look at this shade you choose to play
The towns talk keeps me up to date
We will never be the same
This is a war
This is a heart
These are the strings you'll pull
These are the stakes
They have been raised,
It's your call.
Too much has changed,
I hate this place
But I don't want to leave it this way

So lets get it straight,
Without a thought I will take
I'll take it all away.
That's the price you pay for having luck in the first place.
Call it what you want
I've spent too long under your thumb
And now the clouds haves had there say.

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable,
Are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady
I'll play the gent
We will call it time well spent.
But I've been lying and you're gonna hate me for this.

This is the storm,
So let it pour and take over your shores.
Here comes the rain,
I'll have my day it's so sore
Let it be heard
Lessons to learn
And it will never heart like this again.

Take off your colours
Who are you wearing them for?
Tick off your lovers,
All respect was left at the door.
I had front row seats to you on your knees,
It was everything I hoped it be

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable
'Cause you're gonna hate me for this...

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable,
Are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady
I'll play the gent




We will call it time well spent.
But I've been lying and you're gonna hate me for this.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Me's song "Your Favourite Colour" tell a story of a toxic and manipulative relationship. The singer reflects on the power dynamics at play, expressing their awareness of the other person's tactics and lies. It begins with the singer realizing that they were captivated by the other person's eyes, but they understand that their charm won't lead to a genuine connection. The town gossip keeps the singer updated on the other person's actions, emphasizing the impossibility of returning to the way things were.


The chorus reveals the adversarial nature of the relationship, comparing it to a war and a battle of hearts. The stakes have been raised, and it's up to the other person to make a decision. Though the singer despises the current situation, they don't want to leave things unresolved. They express a willingness to take everything away, suggesting that the other person's luck will not come without consequences. The clouds symbolize the weight of their words and actions, as they have had their say.


The second verse continues the power struggle, with the singer making a bet that the relationship will not end amicably. Despite playing their respective roles, the singer hints at the deception they have engaged in, knowing that it will eventually lead to the other person hating them. The storm metaphorically represents the turmoil and chaos that the relationship brings. The rain serves as a cathartic release, and the singer seeks validation for their pain, hoping to never experience such heartache again.


In the bridge, the lyrics shift to a more confrontational tone. The singer asks the other person to remove the facade they present to the world, questioning who they are trying to impress. The notion of ticking off lovers signifies a lack of respect and disregard for previous relationships. The singer reveals that they witnessed the other person's vulnerability and subjugation, which fulfilled their desires and expectations.


The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's certainty that the relationship will not conclude on friendly terms. The question of comfort arises, hinting at the discomfort and regret that will follow. The roles are once again played, but the singer admits to lying, fully aware that their actions will generate animosity.
