Lyrics
I had a talk with the shadow and the light
I engaged in a conversation with both the shadow and the light
fighting for me
They were contending on my behalf
they said put your tricks aside
They advised me to set aside my deceptive tactics
and for once believe
And, for once, have faith or trust in something
How can I, I don't,
I'm uncertain how to do that
I never did.
I have never done it before
I don't know how to
I lack the knowledge or experience
But when it's not enough to fight for me
When my personal struggles are insufficient
I'm gonna wanna live and fight for you
I will find motivation to live and fight for someone else
Just because it's black in the dark
Even when everything seems dark and negative
Doesn't mean there's no color
Darkness doesn't mean the absence of color
Just because it's black in the dark
Reiterating the idea that darkness doesn't negate color
Doesn't mean there's no color
Emphasizing that color exists even in darkness
I had a talk with the shadow and the light
Revisiting the conversation with the shadow and the light
Oh, oh, looking at me
They are observing or scrutinizing me
They said put your reason aside
Advising me to set aside logical reasoning
And for once believe
And, again, encourage belief or trust
How can I, I don't,
Expressing uncertainty about the ability to believe
I never did,
No previous experience in having faith
I don't know how to
Lacking the knowledge of how to believe
And if I ever stop believing in me
If self-belief wavers
I know I always can believe in you.
There is always the option to believe in someone else
Just because it's black in the dark
Reiteration of the theme that darkness doesn't eliminate color
Doesn't mean there's no color
Emphasizing the persistence of color in darkness
Just because it's black in the dark
Stating that even in the darkest times, color is present
Doesn't mean there's no color
Highlighting the coexistence of darkness and color
I pulled up my roots
I uprooted myself from a difficult situation
From the bottom I was caught in
Escaping from a challenging circumstance
I was caught in
Repetition for emphasis on being caught in a difficult situation
And I had a talk with the shadow and the light
Returning to the conversation with the shadow and the light
Fighting for me
They are still advocating for me
