You see the world in black and white
No color or life
You think you'll never get it right
But you're wrong, you might
The sky could fall, could fall on me
The parting of the seas
But you mean more, mean more to me
Than any color I can see
All you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up
As us
You see the world in black and white
Nothing too bright
You see no meaning to your life
Yes you try
Yes you try
And all you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It's never gonna give itself up
And all you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up
And don't you want to see it come soon
Floating in a big white balloon
Or given your own silver spoon
Don't you want to see it come down
Enough of throwing your arms around
And saying not a moment too soon
'Cause I feel low
'Cause I feel low
Ooh
Yeah I feel low
Oh no
Oh ooh
'Cause I feel low
'Cause I feel low
Ooh
And I feel low
Oh no
Ooh
No color or life
You think you'll never get it right
But you're wrong, you might
The sky could fall, could fall on me
The parting of the seas
But you mean more, mean more to me
Than any color I can see
All you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up
As us
You see the world in black and white
Nothing too bright
You see no meaning to your life
Yes you try
Yes you try
And all you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It's never gonna give itself up
And all you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up
And don't you want to see it come soon
Floating in a big white balloon
Or given your own silver spoon
Don't you want to see it come down
Enough of throwing your arms around
And saying not a moment too soon
'Cause I feel low
'Cause I feel low
Ooh
Yeah I feel low
Oh no
Oh ooh
'Cause I feel low
'Cause I feel low
Ooh
And I feel low
Oh no
Ooh

The parting of the seas
i think
The main message I get is, "You look at the world in such a cut-and-dry sort of way, and if you could just see it for the beauty that it truly is, your life would have so much more meaning."
-Harwell
The first four lines suggest the person that the writer/performer is talking to has deprived themself of any life, as if they've given up on all hope for one reason or another. "You see the world in black
I think this might be about the sort of people who are apathetic to living and then complain that life's a bitch, just expecting something to come along that is "never gonna give itself up".
You see the world in black and white
No colour or light
You think you'll never get it right
But you're wrong... you might
The sky could fall, could fall on me
They're passing on the seas
But you mean more, mean more to me
Than any colour I can see
All you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
it's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or old as us
as us
You see the world in black and white
Not painted right
You see no meaning to your life
You should try
You should try
And all you ever wanted was love
but you never looked hard enough
it's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or old as us
And don't you wanna see it come through?
Floating in a big white balloon
Given on your own silver spoon
Don't you wanna see it come down
Death is throwing your arms around
Say it in a moment too soon
'Cause I feel low
'Cause I feel low
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Yeah I feel low
Oh no
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhh
'Cause I feel low
Ahhhhhhhhhh
'Cause I feel low
Ahhhhhhhhhh
But I feel low
Oh no
Ohhhhhhhhhh
