Yellow
A Celestial Ode to Love: Exploring the Golden Depths of 'Yellow'
Lyrics
Look at the stars
Appreciating the stars, possibly metaphorically for something special
Look how they shine for you
Highlighting how the stars seem to have a special significance or beauty for the person being addressed
And everything you do
Expressing admiration for everything the person does
Yeah, they were all yellow
Associating the color yellow with the person, suggesting warmth or happiness
I came along
The singer's involvement in the addressee's life
I wrote a song for you
Creation of something special, like a song, dedicated to the addressee
And all the things you do
Acknowledging the addressee's actions
And it was called Yellow
Naming the created song after the color yellow, reinforcing the association
So then I took my turn
Shifting focus to the singer's involvement or contribution
Oh, what a thing to have done
Reflecting on the significance or impact of their actions
And it was all yellow
Reiteration of the association between the person and the color yellow
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Describing physical aspects of the addressee
Turn into something beautiful
Transformation of something seemingly ordinary into beauty
And you know, you know I love you so
Expressing deep affection for the person
You know I love you so
Reiteration of love
I swam across
Physical effort or sacrifice for the addressee
I jumped across for you
More actions taken for the person
Oh, what a thing to do
Reflecting on the significance or impact of the action taken
'Cause you were all yellow
Reiteration of the association between the person and the color yellow
I drew a line
Creation of boundaries or setting limits for the addressee
I drew a line for you
Repetition of setting boundaries or limits
Oh, what a thing to do
Reflection on the significance of the action taken
And it was all yellow
Reiteration of the association between the person and the color yellow
And your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Describing physical aspects of the addressee
Turn into something beautiful
Transformation of something seemingly ordinary into beauty
And you know, for you, I'd bleed myself dry
Expressing willingness to go to great lengths for the addressee
For you, I'd bleed myself dry
Reiterating extreme dedication or sacrifice for the addressee
It's true
Confirmation of the depth of feelings or dedication
Look how they shine for you
Reiteration of the special significance of the stars for the addressee
Look how they shine for you
Continued emphasis on the stars' significance for the addressee
Look how they shine for
Continuation of highlighting the stars' significance
Look how they shine for you
Reiteration of the stars' significance for the addressee
Look how they shine for you
Continued emphasis on the stars' significance for the addressee
Look how they shine
Emphasizing the shine of the stars
Look at the stars
Reiteration of appreciating the stars
Look how they shine for you
Continued emphasis on the stars' significance for the addressee
And all the things that you do
Acknowledgment of the addressee's actions again
