Red Is A Slow Colour Lyrics
The black house in in my street
looks too dark just to go inside
But when I do
I cannot move because of
the mess in the hallway
The picture on the wall is chaotic
I don't want to look at it
But when I do
I cannot speak because of
the confusion in my head
I am unfit and I want to leap away
But when I do
The red colour comes after me
It is fierce and it moves slow
The picture on the wall is chaotic
I don't want to look at it
But when I do
I cannot speak because of
the confusion in my head
I am unfit and I want to leap away
But when I do
The red colour comes after me
It is fierce and it moves slow
looks too dark just to go inside
But when I do
I cannot move because of
the mess in the hallway
I don't want to look at it
But when I do
I cannot speak because of
the confusion in my head
But when I do
The red colour comes after me
It is fierce and it moves slow
I don't want to look at it
But when I do
I cannot speak because of
the confusion in my head
But when I do
The red colour comes after me
It is fierce and it moves slow

It’s obviously about a dream, possibly lucid. There are lots of symbols in dreams, such as red which could represent something bad or scary chasing you. The picture on the wall that looks chaotic is an irrational dream fear or something you can’t explain. Things often look chaotic or enigmatic in lucid dreams or very vivid dreams…
I think it's about life and when you're awake. Many situations in life make you feel trapped and you know they aren't good for you, but you're still curious, which fits in with the repetition of "but when I do". The harshness of the situation is shown in the picture, which captures the moment. The person's confused because of deception. They want to go, but the violence and hate comes and slowly gets them. it's slow because it's a deep psychological hate/malice. So I would say this shade of red is very very dark ^_^.
