Changing Colours
Embrace Transformation: Changing Colors with Great Lake Swimmers
Lyrics
You look at me with uncertainty
You perceive me with uncertainty
You look at me with urgency
You perceive me with urgency
You look at me with fear in your eyes
You perceive me with fear in your eyes
Like you're about to follow any
As if you're about to follow any
Don't be afraid to change your colors now
Encouragement to embrace change
Of knowing you are summer, you rose above it all
Acknowledging the strength to rise above challenges
I see you hesitate to fall down
Noting hesitation in taking risks
But it's pretty good view from down here too
Highlighting the beauty of alternative perspectives
When the wind takes you it takes me too
Connection between personal change and its impact on others
And when you change colors, I change mine too
Mutual influence in adapting to change
Try not to think and I will try too
Encouragement to avoid overthinking
And when you let go, I will let go too
Commitment to letting go in sync with the other person
I knew you when you were green and strong
Recollection of a past state of strength and vitality
You were like a feather on a wing, so long
Comparison to a delicate and free-spirited existence
You know I will miss you when you're gone
Expressing anticipation of missing the current state
But don't be afraid if you just can't hang on
Reassurance for the possibility of letting go
'Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
Reiteration of shared experiences in changing circumstances
And when you change colors, I change mine too
Acknowledging adaptability in response to the other's changes
Try not to think and I will try too
Encouragement to avoid dwelling on uncertainties
And when you let go, I will let go too
Commitment to simultaneous release with the other
The cold air is pushing hard on you
Description of external pressure and challenges
I know what you're saying, I can feel it too
Recognition of shared emotions and experiences
You'll go through changes and I'll go through them too
Acknowledging the inevitability of changes
Don't be afraid now, no don't be afraid
Encouragement to face changes without fear
'Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
Reiteration of interconnectedness in facing changes
And when you change colors, I change mine too
Highlighting the synchronization of personal transformations
Try not to think and I will try too
Encouragement to stay present and not overthink
And when you let go, I will let go too
Commitment to letting go in harmony with the other
