If I Was You
Colorful Reflections: Unveiling the Essence of 'If I Was You' by Terrorvision
Lyrics
Starts off early Monday, the beginning of the week,
Starting the week on Monday, the singer reflects on the beginning of the workweek.
With a belly full of serpents wriggling round making me feel sick,
Feeling discomfort and unease, possibly due to regret or consequences from the previous night's activities.
Well I know I went out last night, and it's the price I'll have to pay,
Acknowledging the consequences of going out the previous night and accepting the responsibility.
But before I've even found my feet I've been discovered by Tuesday.
Before fully recovering, facing new challenges or problems on Tuesday.
Green is the colour of your eyes,
Describing the color green, possibly symbolizing envy or jealousy.
Grey is the colour of your skin,
Describing the color grey, which may represent a dull or lifeless state.
Yellow is the colour of your tongue, tongue, tongue,
Describing the color yellow associated with the tongue, suggesting deceit or untruthfulness.
If I was you, well I'm not am I?
Expressing a hypothetical situation, distancing oneself from the negative traits described earlier.
Well I know I'm not you, you're not me,
Acknowledging differences between the singer and the hypothetical "you."
But everybody join in after three,
Encouraging participation, possibly suggesting a communal experience or shared difficulties.
One, two, three.
Counting for group participation, emphasizing unity.
Green is the colour of your eyes,
Repetition of the earlier description of the color green, grey, and yellow.
Grey is the colour of your skin,
-Yellow is the colour of your tongue, tongue, tongue,
-If I was you, well I'm not am I?
Reiterating the hypothetical scenario and the desire not to be in the other person's position.
Green is the colour of your eyes,
Repetition of the earlier description of the color green, grey, and yellow.
Grey is the colour of your skin,
-Yellow is the colour of your tongue, tongue, tongue,
-If I was you, well I'm not am I?
Reiterating the hypothetical scenario and the desire not to be in the other person's position.
If I'm not you, who the hell am I?
Pondering the identity or sense of self in relation to the other person, raising existential questions.
