The One True Colour
Embracing Individual Perspectives
Lyrics
As one child is taught red on his mother's knee
Symbolic teaching of the color red to a child by his mother.
The one true colour
Emphasis on the importance of one true color, possibly representing a singular truth or ideology.
A neighbour is taught blue on his mother's knee
Another child being taught the color blue on his mother's knee.
The one true colour
Reiteration of the one true color concept.
With a fervour inherited, it will be subsequently delivered
Passing down fervent beliefs, likely shaping future actions and perspectives.
Ignore the spectrum
Encouragement to ignore the spectrum, suggesting a rejection of diversity of thought.
Dear whom it may concern
Expression of a personal crisis, feeling alone and unheard, gazing at the stars for answers.
I feel as though I'm about to crash and burn
-I think I'm falling and there's no return
-I've no idea to whom this may concern
-I'm looking out at all the stars and I learn
-There's no one up above to hear me yearn
-I'm on my own
-In the arena of the endless unknown
Warning against presenting falsehoods as truth in the arena of the unknown.
Do not stage theatre
-Do not stage theatre and call it truth
-And call it truth
-And when one child is taught red on his mother's knee
Reiteration of the necessity to deliver the teaching of the color red with the full spectrum.
It must be subsequently delivered
-With all of the spectrum
-Dear whom it may concern
Continuation of the personal crisis, expressing a sense of isolation and yearning.
I feel as though I'm about to crash and burn
-I think I'm falling and there's no return
-I've no idea to whom this may concern
-I'm looking out at all the stars and I learn
-There's no one up above to hear me yearn
-I'm on my own
-Someone has whipped the carpet from beneath my feet
Metaphorical disruption of stability, acknowledging the richness and wonder in upheaval, signaling a call to action.
Someone upturned the furniture in my mind
-But oh, how rich the soil
-How wondrous the upheaval
-It's time to embark
-But oh, how rich the soil
-How wondrous the upheaval
-It's time to embark
-To dissect is to broaden the adventure (but oh, how rich the soil)
Encouragement to embrace the dissecting process as a means of broadening experience and tenure, warning against inhibiting exploration.
And enrich one's tenure (how wondrous the upheaval)
-So do not blunt the surgeon's knife (it's time to embark)
-To dissect is to broaden the adventure (but oh, how rich the soil)
-And enrich one's tenure (how wondrous the upheaval)
-So do not blunt the surgeon's knife (it's time to embark)
-But oh, how rich the soil
Reiteration of the richness and wonder in upheaval, emphasizing the importance of embarking on a journey.
How wondrous the upheaval
-It's time to embark
-But oh, how rich the soil
-How wondrous the upheaval
-It's time to embark
-Oh, there's so much to explore, there's so much to absorb
Highlighting the vastness of exploration and absorption of knowledge, with atoms symbolizing borrowed elements returned to the cosmos.
And then the atoms that you borrowed
-They are returned to the cosmos
-There's so much to explore, there's so much to absorb
-Then the atoms that you borrowed
-They are returned when you're
Continuation of the concept that borrowed elements are returned when one's journey concludes.
