Vivid Melancholy: Embracing Life's Colorful Contrasts
Lyrics
All this time great divide
There has been a significant separation or distance for a while.
I want you to know that I still care
Expressing ongoing care and concern for someone.
Always better with you by my side
Life is better or more enjoyable when this person is present.
You and me, we're both so yellow
Both individuals (the singer and the addressed person) are similar in being 'yellow,' symbolizing a blend of characteristics and emotions.
Just a blend of colors loud and mellow
They are a mix of vibrant and calm traits.
Took my time with you, you were never waiting
The singer took their time with this person, who never grew impatient or resentful.
For me to get back home, I'm still coming
Despite delays, the singer is still in the process of returning or reconciling.
For the rest of what you took from me
Referencing emotional or material aspects that were taken away by the addressed person.
I'd fall in love for an ounce of sympathy
Expressing a willingness to fall in love for even a small amount of compassion or understanding.
Scrape your palms on the concrete
Symbolic action of enduring hardship or difficulty.
It's hard to admit, I dont feel it anymore
