Lyrics
Put your hand in the paintbox and choose
Encouragement to express oneself by choosing a color from life's palette.
Which one says the most about you
Select the color that best represents your identity or feelings.
I would have to pick the deepest shade
Personal preference for the deepest and most profound shade, symbolizing sadness.
The saddest shade of blue
Expressing a preference for a somber and melancholic shade of blue.
But red is colour I'd choose
Despite the preference for blue, red is the chosen color with significance.
Red is colour I'd choose
Reiteration of the preference for red as a meaningful color.
I set my soul long ago and far away
The narrator made a significant decision or commitment in the past.
Oh it's written down so deep it can never fade away
The commitment is deeply ingrained and unlikely to diminish over time.
Though so many years have come and gone
Despite the passage of many years, a consistent aspect of the narrator's life remains.
Through my life one thing has stayed
An enduring element in the narrator's life that has persisted.
An eternal light that shines clean through the grey
An unchanging, eternal light that brings clarity in difficult times.
Red is colour I'd choose
Reiteration of the preference for red as a meaningful and chosen color.
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
Describing the red as the deepest shade against a backdrop of profound blue.
It don't matter now if I should win
Emphasizing that winning or losing does not affect the choice of red.
If I should win or lose
Underlining that the chosen color, red, remains constant regardless of outcomes.
'cause red is colour I'd choose
Reiteration that red is the preferred and meaningful color.
If I waste my time away waiting just for you
Expressing a willingness to invest time, irrespective of waiting for someone.
I don't care what others say
Indifference to others' opinions, focusing on personal feelings and experiences.
'cause baby I just love, love what you do
Expressing love and appreciation for someone's actions or qualities.
Red is colour I'd choose
Reiteration that red is the chosen and significant color.
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue

It don't matter now if I should win

'cause red is colour I'd choose
