Dalton Was Right
Shades of Deception: Unveiling the Canvas of Dalton Was Right
Lyrics
Move into the light
Expressing a desire to step into clarity or enlightenment.
I don't want to forget what you look like
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the appearance of the subject.
It seems as if we're always running out of time
Feeling a constant pressure due to the perception of time running out.
Painting over the edges of this canvas
Metaphorically addressing the act of covering up imperfections or mistakes.
Even when the truth comes out, you'll hide behind your mask
Highlighting a tendency to hide behind a facade even when the truth is revealed.
You'll hide behind your mask
Reiterating the inclination to conceal one's true self.
I tried to paint you all the colours
Attempting to portray the subject using various emotions or perspectives.
In a world that's black and white
Describing a world perceived in stark contrasts but lacking nuance.
But it's not enough, colourblind
Expressing dissatisfaction with the attempt to introduce diversity or complexity.
Blending in with all the accents that I forgot
Assimilating with forgotten details and losing individuality.
We're colourblind
Reiterating a sense of being unable to perceive or appreciate differences.
"Don't walk away"
Quoting a plea not to leave.
"Why won't you stay"
Pleading for an explanation or a reason to stay.
In the end, you walked away
Describing the eventual departure despite the pleas.
With just a three letter word to say to me, to me
Highlighting the minimal communication received during the departure.
Don't ask, you don't wanna know
Discouraging inquiries into painful experiences or emotional wounds.
All these scars I refuse to show to you, to you
Refusing to reveal emotional scars to the departing individual.
I tried to paint you all the colours
Revisiting the attempt to represent the subject with diverse emotions.
In a world that's black and white
Expressing the inadequacy of the attempt due to a simplistic worldview.
But it's not enough, colourblind
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the lack of complexity or diversity.
Blending in with all the accents that I forgot
Assimilating with forgotten details and losing individuality, repetition from line 10.
We're colourblind
Reiterating a sense of being unable to perceive or appreciate differences, repetition from line 11.
Move into the light
Repeating the desire to move towards enlightenment or clarity.
I don't want to forget what you look like
Re-emphasizing the importance of retaining the memory of the subject's appearance.
I tried to paint you all the colours
Revisiting the attempt to represent the subject with diverse emotions, repetition from line 7.
In a world that's black and white
Expressing the inadequacy of the attempt due to a simplistic worldview, repetition from line 8.
But it's not enough, colourblind
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the lack of complexity or diversity, repetition from line 9.
Blending in with all the accents that I forgot
Assimilating with forgotten details and losing individuality, repetition from line 10.
We're colourblind
Reiterating a sense of being unable to perceive or appreciate differences, repetition from line 11.
