Colors Lyrics – Chenayder, MAVI

[Chorus]
I like to say I was never good at making decisions (Ooh woah)
Now I’m in a bad situation (Situation)
I’m not listening
There’s something wrong with me (Me)
I think I’m losing my hearing
All I’m hearing is colors (Ooh woah)
All I’m hearing is colors

[Verse 1: Chenayder]
Red, blue or green?
How should I use them to get my ears clean?
I can’t enjoy the birds singing
Screams in my ears
All I hear is ringing
All I can hear is the colors
Red, blue, and green
Purple’s my new favorite thing (Oh)

[Verse 2: MAVI]
Yeah
I read it in your eyes
You came up out the blue
Yellow tape around my mind
Every sound became a hue
Black & blue
Boo you meet me to the punch
Living proof
Silver spoon wasn’t feeding me my lunch
I still blackout
Black death, black hands, *** White lines blind mine
In the shadows only light as the sights shine
Fight for my right mind
Only color in my life out the guideline
Born blue collar
Destined to die in struggle
Backseat of the class
I still passed it with flying colors
I was tickled pink and was mixing up the ink
Tried to fit they needs but I’m a different colored sheep
I was getting green for ***
Told the truth golden rule wasn’t serving me
Now I’m in the red zone with the green light, red
Our flights touching home before I see ***
*** molded in my ears ***
Momma say it ain’t all what it seem
And it seem like she right

[Verse 3: Chenayder]
I act like I don’t care
So you care for me
I act like I don’t care
So you care for me (Me)
They done warned me about you
I didn’t listen, now I look like a fool

[Chorus]
I like to say I was never good at making decisions (Ooh woah)
Now I’m in a bad situation (Situation)
I’m not listening
There’s something wrong with me (Me)
I think I’m losing my hearing
All I’m hearing is colors (Ooh woah)
All I’m hearing is colors

[Outro]
Me
I didn’t listen
I didn’t listen
I didn’t listen
All I’m hearing is colors

[Chorus]
The chorus highlights the narrator’s struggle with decision-making and their current predicament. They express an inability to listen, feeling something is wrong and fearing they’re losing their ability to hear. Instead of hearing sounds, they perceive everything as colors, symbolizing confusion and disorientation.

[Verse 1: Chenayder]
In this verse, Chenayder contemplates the colors red, blue, and green, representing choices or options. However, these colors overwhelm the narrator, preventing them from enjoying simple pleasures like the sound of birds. They’re consumed by inner turmoil, represented by the ringing in their ears, and find solace only in the color purple, signifying a new perspective or escape from their troubles.

[Verse 2: MAVI]
MAVI’s verse delves into themes of struggle, identity, and societal pressure. He reflects on his experiences, feeling suffocated by expectations (“yellow tape around my mind”) and grappling with his past (“black & blue”). Despite facing adversity, he perseveres (“passed it with flying colors”) and learns to embrace his individuality, rejecting conformity and societal norms.

[Verse 3: Chenayder]
Chenayder expresses indifference as a defense mechanism, but deep down, they crave care and attention from others. Despite warnings about a certain person, they ignore them, leading to feelings of foolishness and regret.

[Chorus]
The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the central theme of the song: the narrator’s struggle with decision-making and their perception of the world as colors instead of coherent sounds. It serves as a poignant reminder of their ongoing internal conflict and sense of disconnection.

[Outro]
The outro emphasizes the narrator’s realization that they failed to heed warnings or listen to advice, leading to their current state of confusion and disorientation. The repetition of “I didn’t listen” underscores their regret and serves as a somber conclusion to the song.
