The Kandinsky Prince
Home in Hues: Exploring Life's Colors through The Kandinsky Prince
Lyrics
I've got the same Kandinsky prints that my brother got
The speaker has Kandinsky prints identical to those owned by their brother.
With the same black frames, like he bought
The prints have similar black frames, possibly bought by the brother.
In between them, on the wall is something my girlfriend calls Trashy
Between the prints is something called "Trashy Brownie," a term from the speaker's girlfriend.
Brownie and the Boo man got that for me
Reference to a gift from someone named Boo man.
On the wall facing us is black and white of all of us back in Brighton
A black and white photo on the wall depicts people in Brighton, triggering memories.
I remember it like today, but the sun has made that fade
The speaker remembers the past vividly, though time has faded the memories.
Still, I know you know where England is
Asserting that the listener knows where England is, indicating a shared understanding.
And I know this ain't home
The current location is acknowledged as not home.
But now it sure feels like home
Despite not being home, the place now feels like home to the speaker.
And I know this somewhere is really nowhere
Recognizing that the current place is essentially nowhere significant.
I've got a black and white TV, but I don't really see
The speaker has a black and white TV but doesn't feel the need for cable.
The need to burden it with cable
Choosing not to burden the TV with additional features.
I got the sofa from the folks, and the table I just stole
The speaker acquired a table by stealing and a sofa from their parents.
With a neon Mickey's sign for no reason
A neon Mickey's sign is added to the table for no apparent reason.
And I know this ain't home
Reiteration that the current place is not considered home.
But now it sure feels like home
Despite not being home, the place now feels like home to the speaker.
And I know this somewhere is really nowhere
Emphasizing that the current location is essentially nowhere significant.
And I know this ain't home
Reaffirmation that the current place is not home.
But now it sure feels like home
Despite not being home, the place now feels like home to the speaker.
And I know this somewhere is really nowhere
Underlining that the current location is essentially nowhere significant.
I've got the same Kandinsky prints that my brother got

With the same black frames, like he bought

With a neon Mickey's sign for no reason

And I know this ain't home
Reiteration that the current place is not considered home.
But now it sure feels like home
Despite not being home, the place now feels like home to the speaker.
And I know this somewhere is really nowhere
Emphasizing that the current location is essentially nowhere significant.
