Oh and a lyric correction right before the last paragraph: I am grey, still on the page Oh colour me in Just an outline, sketchy but fine Oh colour me in If green is chasing the hills over miles If blue is pursuing the sky See if the red of your heart doesn't mind Where you begin to colour me in Something new and nothing to do Then I'm just the ideal I must be real cause somehow I feel That I'm just the ideal Let's share the blue of the towering sky The green of the hills that roll by Leave the red of your heart to decide If you cannot choose which colour to use I'll always wait, it's never too late To colour me in To colour me in Today or next year, I'll always be here If you want to colour me... In........ I'll always wait, it's never too late To colour me in To colour me in To colour me in To colour me in |

This song always puts me in another place. When I first heard this song I imagined a person, or the concept of a person, incomplete and in the mind. This person is perfection, and the details are filled in by you;("I am gray, still on the page/Just an outline, sketchy but fine"). It's like this person's rough existence is there, but incomplete. She is real, but only in your mind;("I must be real cause somehow I feel/That I'm just the ideal") She is subjective perfection in your mind, and that gives her life and proves that she is real. When she says "I'll always wait, it's never too late...Today or next year, I'll always be here, if you want to color me in" that could be taken as, you can take all the time you need to figure out what perfection is for you. To fill in the picture of perfection with color eventually, and have it someday. It is the living, subconscious dream of perfection that we all have, be it a person, a beautiful place, a meaning, or state of being. We need to set the ideal, and set out to find it. |
