Shade of White
Canvas of Reflection: Embracing Life's Shades
Lyrics
SHADE OF WHITE
“Shade of White”
The painting that hangs on my wall
The painting on my wall
It doesn't really make sense at all
Seems nonsensical
But then it starts to go to my head
But it begins to influence my thoughts
And now I see something instead
My perspective changes
A field of fallen snow
Depiction of a snowy field
A shade of white
Represents a colorless, pure state
A field of fallen snow
Reiteration of a snowy landscape
A shade of white
Emphasis on a white, blank canvas
Dark fall colors
Contrast to the white—darker, changing hues
Ebb and flow
Fluctuation and movement
Brings back time
Evokes memories of the past
Frozen still
Time seems stopped or halted
The painter painting his own affairs
The artist’s personal world
Does he know that anybody cares
Does the artist recognize appreciation?
Cause somehow I know that it's me
Identification with the painting
This painting I bought it you see
Ownership of the artwork
A field of fallen snow
Return to the snowy scene symbolizing life
A shade of life
White as a metaphor for existence
Dark fall colors
Reiteration of contrasting colors and change
Ebb and flow
Continued flux and movement
Brings back time
Evoking memories once again
Frozen still
Stillness within the passing of time
A field of fallen snow
Repetition of the snowy field imagery
A shade of
Completion of an unfinished phrase
