The Ephemeral Dance of Life and Emotion in 'Colour Fade'

Funeral Suits' song 'Colour Fade' is a poetic exploration of the transient nature of life and the intense emotions that accompany it. The lyrics are rich with vivid imagery and metaphors, painting a picture of a journey through both internal and external landscapes. The opening line, 'To bleed like a flower on the side of the road,' suggests a sense of vulnerability and the fleeting beauty of life, much like a flower that blooms and withers by the roadside. This sets the tone for a song that delves into the complexities of human experience and emotion.

The recurring theme of color in the song symbolizes the various emotions and experiences that color our lives. Phrases like 'feel the color kicking in' and 'a machine that sends the color to your head' evoke the idea of emotions as vibrant, almost tangible forces that influence our perceptions and actions. The mention of 'the eyes of academy' and 'the courage of a man and his boat' could be interpreted as a quest for knowledge and bravery in the face of life's challenges. The song's lyrics also touch on the idea of transformation and renewal, as seen in lines like 'I shed my skin on the timber shade' and 'to pull it all apart and dance in circles round the start.'

The song's structure and lyrical content suggest a cyclical nature of life, where beginnings and endings are intertwined. The repeated questions 'What are we gonna do? What are we gonna say?' reflect a sense of uncertainty and the search for meaning in an ever-changing world. The final lines, 'I'm a machine that sends the color to your head... to your heart... to you,' encapsulate the idea of being a conduit for emotion and experience, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things. Funeral Suits' 'Colour Fade' is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on the ephemeral nature of life and the powerful emotions that define our existence.
