In the white I wake up
In the white I die
Somewhere in the red, I see your eyes
In the green I'm out walking
and in the green I live
Somewhere in the red, I have your lips
I dream of a cloud
I dream of you
In the blue I'm rising, like an ocean
and in the blue it's down, I sail
Somewhere in the red, I taste your skin
The girls they loved his face
Cut their fingers and they could not look away
but Joseph never saw a thing
his eyes wrapped in all these dreams
Coloured cloth in autumn gray
Coloured cloth covered with bloody stains
and without the pain
we learn to love again
My dream to find
My dream come true
In the black I feel you
In the black I sense
Somewhere in the red, the colours end
In the white I die
Somewhere in the red, I see your eyes
In the green I'm out walking
and in the green I live
Somewhere in the red, I have your lips
I dream of a cloud
I dream of you
In the blue I'm rising, like an ocean
and in the blue it's down, I sail
Somewhere in the red, I taste your skin
The girls they loved his face
Cut their fingers and they could not look away
but Joseph never saw a thing
his eyes wrapped in all these dreams
Coloured cloth in autumn gray
Coloured cloth covered with bloody stains
and without the pain
we learn to love again
My dream to find
My dream come true
In the black I feel you
In the black I sense
Somewhere in the red, the colours end

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song is so incredibly haunting and good all at the same time
Not so sure about the meaning, but come on, we need more HR fans in here! Great song, haunting and beautiful.
"but your son never saw a thing" should be Joseph never saw a thing
I think that the song can be looked at as if the colors are different phases of our life. White symbolizes birth and purity, when you're born you're pure, innocent and clean. Green represents youth and adulthood, in this phase we go out and explore the world, meet other people etc. Red represents love, passion, desire, heart and excitement; you fall in love in red and kiss your lover.
Green represents harmony, peace and tranquility, if you've got peace then you have everything, and would do adventurous things to express it. Again in red you kiss your lover i.e. taste their skin. There is a story about Potiphar wife (Zuleika) and Joseph (son of Jacob) in the Holy books, Joseph has been described as very beautiful, Potiphar wife had sexual lust for him, when mocked by some other women for her lust, she invited them for a meal. And they cut their own fingers instead of the food when they saw Joseph's good looks, also Joseph had two good and bad dreams about the future. No doubt, there is lust in all of us and we dream about good/bad stuff and forget about things.
Gray represents maturity, old age, calmness, security and reliability, after all the time you've spent together and numerous fights, you learn to love each other again. Black represents fear, anger, unhappiness, and death. You're angry with the state of affairs, the breakup is imminent, red also represents conflicting emotions, violence and danger, and with the breakup "somewhere in the red, the colours end".
Holy crap, I created an account just because I figured out what this song is about:
Colors + Joseph = biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors (yes, what the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was based on).
I always thought this song was just about recovering after a bad break up, remembering fondly of your lost love, but realizing that there is still life to live. Now I'm also taking it to be a literary allusion as well: His dreams/prophecies haunt him, he feels utterly alone... but somewhere out there, in the dark, he knows his God/lost love/the next love to be is out there, waiting for him.
