I Used to Be Color Blind
Revealing a Vivid World Through Love's Lens
Lyrics
Strange
Expressing the feeling of something unusual or unfamiliar
How a dreary world can suddenly change
Reflecting on how a dull or uninteresting world can suddenly transform
To a world as bright as the evening star
Describing the transformed world as vibrant and brilliant, akin to the brightness of the evening star
Queer
Using an older sense of the word, meaning "odd" or "peculiar"
What a difference when your vision is clear
Highlighting the significant difference when one's vision becomes clear
And you see things as they really are
Perceiving things as they truly exist
I used to be color-blind
Admitting a previous inability to perceive colors accurately
But I met you and now I find
Attributing the newfound ability to see colors to meeting someone
There's green in the grass
Noticing the color green in the grass
There's gold in the moon
Observing gold in the moon
There's blue in the skies
Recognizing blue in the skies
That semi-circle that was always hanging about
Referring to a previously perceived semi-circle, likely symbolizing a negative presence
Is not a storm cloud, it's a rainbow
Clarifying that the semi-circle is not a storm cloud but a rainbow
And you brought the colors out
Acknowledging that meeting someone has brought out vibrant colors
Believe me it's really true
Affirming the truth of the transformative experience
Till I met you I never knew
Expressing a lack of awareness regarding the beauty of a setting sun before meeting the person
A setting sun could paint such beautiful skies
Appreciating the newfound realization of the beauty of sunsets
I never knew there were such lovely colors
Being unaware of the existence of such lovely colors before meeting the person
And the big surprise
Expressing surprise at discovering these beautiful colors
Is the red in your cheeks
Noticing the color red in the person's cheeks
The gold in your hair
Acknowledging the presence of gold in the person's hair
The blue in your eyes
Recognizing the color blue in the person's eyes
