Beige and Burgundy
Colors of Reflection: Beige and Burgundy by Burn Doubt
Lyrics
I wonder what it's like to meet me, see my face for the very first time
I am curious about the impression I make when people meet me and see my face for the first time.
Am I someone that you'd hold on to, or someone that you would pass by
I question whether I am someone worth holding onto or if I'm easily overlooked.
If I stopped to ask a question, would you get inside my head
If I reach out and ask a question, would you understand my thoughts?
Or would you keep on walking, you're probably better off instead
Or would you ignore me and continue walking, perhaps it's better for you that way.
They don't see me, the way you do
Others don't perceive me in the same way that you do.
Is that a better thing for them, or the worst thing for you
Is their different perspective a positive or negative thing for them or for you?
But that cold light, it doesn't burn here anymore
The cold, harsh reality doesn't hurt as much here.
And I've seen it all, about a thousand times before
I have experienced and witnessed everything many times before.
Grab those pills and chase em' down, with all the uncertainty
Using medication to cope with uncertainty and challenges.
Cause all i see is Beige and Burgundy
All I perceive is a mundane and ordinary existence, represented by beige, and a sense of deep emotion or struggle, represented by burgundy.
My existence is an inconvenience, at least that's what she said
Some consider my existence inconvenient, echoing what someone said.
But man those words will not stop, runnin' through my head
Those words persistently occupy my thoughts.
Grab a pint and have a smoke, and try to make yourself feel well
Using substances like alcohol and cigarettes to find comfort or escape.
Or should i take the high road, you never really can tell
Contemplating whether to take the morally superior path, which is often unclear.
But they don't see me, the way you do
Others perceive me differently than you do.
Is that a better thing for them, or the worst thing for you
Is their perspective an advantage for them or a disadvantage for you?
But that cold light, it doesn't burn here anymore
The harsh reality doesn't affect me as much anymore.
And I've seen it all, about a thousand times before
I've been through it all repeatedly.
Grab those pills and chase em' down, with all the uncertainty
Using medication to cope with uncertainty and challenges.
Cause all i see is Beige and Burgundy
All I perceive is a mundane and ordinary existence, represented by beige, and a sense of deep emotion or struggle, represented by burgundy.
But they don't see me, the way you do
Others perceive me differently than you do.
Is that a better thing for them, or the worst thing for you
Is their perspective an advantage for them or a disadvantage for you?
But that cold light, it doesn't burn here anymore
The harsh reality doesn't affect me as much anymore.
And I've seen it all, about a thousand times before
I've been through it all repeatedly.
Grab those pills and chase em' down, with all the uncertainty
Using medication to cope with uncertainty and challenges.
Cause all i see is Beige and Burgundy
All I perceive is a mundane and ordinary existence, represented by beige, and a sense of deep emotion or struggle, represented by burgundy.
Cause all i see is Beige and Burgundy
-Cause all i see is Beige and Burgundy
-Cause all i see is Beige and Burgundy
