Colorblind
Shades of Life: Navigating the Colors of a Puzzling Game
Lyrics
But after all
Expressing a sense of disappointment or realization.
It's not so wonderful
Suggesting that the situation is not as great as it seems.
Drive up the wall
Feeling frustrated or irritated.
And they say it's just a game
Referring to life as a game, possibly implying it's not taken seriously.
If I recall
Recalling a past experience or memory.
I left a marble there
Leaving a mark or something behind.
I've lost them all
Having experienced losses but downplaying their significance.
And still they say it's just a game we play
Emphasizing the perception of life as a game.
All I really want you to do tonight
Expressing a desire for validation or reassurance.
Is tell me I'm a little bit colorblind
Seeking acknowledgment of a limited understanding or perspective.
Tell me that it doesn't look as blue as I
Requesting confirmation that one's perception may be distorted.
Thought that it had been painted
Questioning the accuracy or authenticity of a situation.
The rise and fall
Referring to the ups and downs of life.
But I haven't started yet
Expressing a sense of not having fully engaged in life's challenges.
They dropped the ball
Blaming others for failure or disappointment.
And they say that I'm to blame
Accepting responsibility for perceived shortcomings.
I weigh it down
Feeling burdened by a situation or responsibility.
They toss it overboard
Getting rid of something troublesome.
I pull the rope around
Taking control of a difficult situation.
They come and kick the stool away
Suggesting self-harm or self-sabotage.
All I really want you to do tonight
Reiterating the desire for reassurance or understanding.
Is tell me I'm a little bit colorblind
Repeating the theme of a limited perception or understanding of colors.
Tell me that it doesn't look as blue as I
Asking for confirmation that the perception may be inaccurate.
Thought that it had been painted
Reflecting on the possibility of a distorted reality.
I'll play along
Being willing to participate or go along with something.
I'll dig the grave and then
Accepting the consequences and preparing for a symbolic end.
I'll carve the headstone
Creating a memorial for something not yet concluded.
But I've yet to choose the name
Indecision or uncertainty about a significant decision.
'cause after all
Reiterating a sense of disappointment or realization.
it's not so wonderful
Downplaying the greatness of a situation.
don't take it hard
Advising not to take things too seriously.
you know they say it's just a game we play
Reaffirming the idea that life is perceived as a game.
