the meaning of this song to me is of her & a lover or freind that are not supposed to be. The other person is more accepted than she is so if their relationship is found it would be the end.
"Colors dancing in the sky
All my ancestry up so high"
Her colorful ancestry has been revealed or is well know & is everywhere. She is being talked about.
"And if I call, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us"
Her lover or friend is keeping her a secret & has scolded her for calling him.
"'Cause they're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out"
They suspect he is hiding something & they have been watching her aswell.
"Sleep my pretty sleep
Or the hotshots will break your heart"
They will torment him for being with her. They are in her dorm room and he is resting.
"The mystical and horror show
You can see them floating
They don't know
Moving past the window
The shadows will break your heart"
His freinds are outside her window taunting her & he is in her room hiding & they don't know it. He can only see shadows moving about the walls coming from the window.
"And horror show
You can see them floating
They don't know
Can not get a witness
Can not get a wtiness
The shadows will break your heart"
She is disgusted & frustrated about their relationship being kept secret but she wants to protect him from being rejected by freinds.
