Colourless Colour Lyrics
You say it's coming
But I can't see it at all
You know me well
But I don't you at all
No I don't know you at all
It's always just on the horizon
So my hopes rise and fall
You know me well
But I don't know you at all
No I don't know you at all
Early nineties,
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Been dreaming of blue skies
New horizons and sights for my eyes
The discovery of the unknown
IS something to tell the folks back home
I want to get away
To feel the sun on my skin
To feel it really sinking in
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
AND soon to be rediscovered
But I can't see it at all
You know me well
But I don't you at all
No I don't know you at all
It's always just on the horizon
So my hopes rise and fall
You know me well
But I don't know you at all
No I don't know you at all
Early nineties,
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Been dreaming of blue skies
New horizons and sights for my eyes
The discovery of the unknown
IS something to tell the folks back home
I want to get away
To feel the sun on my skin
To feel it really sinking in
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen
Early nineties
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless Colour
Once in fashion
AND soon to be rediscovered

It's early nineties décor...

You can really hear the strength of her voice in this song, its astounding. I think this song is about the end of childhood/becoming a teenager (for example the reference to the early nineties). The lyrics seem to describe someone who is lost, whose world seems to change around them alot. Amazing song.
I read in an interview that it was about when her and ben had a break from each other. Elly hung out in a derelict mansion with some mates which had 90's decor, all creamy pink, not even beige "colourless colour". She then goes on holiday with mates and does "mushrooms".
yeah, the room her and another Ben (not Ben Langmaid) were writing in was full of 'early ninnties decor' which is where that part came from...not sure about the rest...
This is my favorite song from La Roux. Elly's voice just sounds so beautiful in this song. I also love the lyrics, and the verse "I want to get away. To feel the sun on my skin. To feel it really sinking in"
I think it's a refuse heap of meaningless gibberish intended to seem brooding and profound to the target demographic of vapid hipsters.
