Shapes and Colors
Unraveling Life's Palette: Avery Chapman's 'Shapes and Colors'
Lyrics
Shapes and colors
Expressing the diversity and beauty of life through various forms and hues.
Fated lovers
Refers to individuals destined to be together, suggesting a sense of preordained connection.
Breathe you into what you are
Describing the process of merging with someone's essence, becoming an intrinsic part of their being.
Pure creation
Creation in its purest form, devoid of external influences or calculations.
Or calculation
Contrasting pure creation with deliberate and measured actions.
You'll have her eyes and his temper
Imagining the combination of physical traits and personality from both parents.
And the world will keep on turning
Highlighting the continuity of life despite challenges or changes.
Climb aboard the anxious train
Inviting to join a journey filled with uncertainty and nervous anticipation.
You'll be happy, you'll be hurting, then you'll start over again
Describing the cyclical nature of emotions—happiness, pain, and the process of starting anew.
Boys will tell you that they love you til the fire fades away
Cautioning against trusting professed love, as it may diminish over time.
You could be magic in a jacket or some strands of DNA
Suggesting the potential for magic or uniqueness within an individual's genetic makeup.
Who's to say?
Pondering the uncertainty of life and its inherent mysteries.
Maybe it's all just
Questioning the nature of existence and whether it's all predetermined or random.
Shapes and colors
Reiterating the theme of life's diversity and beauty, emphasizing the role of shapes and colors.
Dimes and dollars
Connecting the idea of life's richness with the concept of monetary value.
Pay to play another day
Suggesting that one must pay a price to continue participating in life's experiences.
Blind religion
Criticizing blind adherence to religious beliefs and the influence of political figures.
And politicians
Highlighting the questionable guidance from those claiming to know the right path.
Those who swear they know the way
Expressing skepticism towards those who assert certainty in the face of life's complexities.
And the world will keep on turning
Repeating the idea of life's continuity despite restlessness and uncertainty.
Climb aboard the restless train
Encouraging to embrace the unpredictable journey, acknowledging the inevitable mix of joy and pain.
You'll be happy, you'll be hurting, then you'll start over again
Reflecting the cyclical nature of emotions and the opportunity for fresh starts.
Boys will tell you that they love you til the fire fades away
Warning against the transience of love and the potential fading of passion.
Friends will lie, but friends will save you, so you'll make them anyway
Recognizing the dual nature of friendships—deceptive yet capable of saving.
You could be magic in a jacket or some strands of DNA
Reiterating the potential for uniqueness within one's genetic makeup.
Who's to say?
Revisiting the uncertainty of life and the inability to definitively determine its course.
Maybe it's all just
Pondering whether life's intricacies can be simplified to shapes and colors.
Maybe it's all just
Repeating the contemplation of life's complexity, questioning its essence.
Maybe we're all just
Considering the possibility that all individuals are simply expressions of shapes and colors.
Shapes and colors
Reiterating the central theme of life's diversity and beauty.
Shapes and colors
Concluding with the reaffirmation of the significance of shapes and colors in defining existence.
