Color Blind

Maddox's song 'Color Blind' delves into the complexities of perception, identity, and emotional struggle. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world that once brimmed with vibrant colors, symbolizing beauty and positivity, only to have those colors drain away, leaving behind a monochrome existence. This transformation can be interpreted as a metaphor for losing one's sense of self or joy, possibly due to external pressures or internal conflicts. The recurring phrase 'Color blind' suggests a state of emotional numbness or a loss of the ability to see the world in its full spectrum, both literally and metaphorically.

The song's narrative speaks to the struggle of maintaining one's true self amidst societal expectations and personal fears. Lines like 'nareul garo magaseoneun geotdeul' (things that block me) and 'nunchi mot chaege' (unable to read the room) highlight the protagonist's battle against obstacles and the pressure to conform. The mention of 'geuryeo naeryeoga gyehoek' (plans that are drawn and fall) and 'mul beorideut beorin sigan' (time that flows like water) further emphasize the fleeting nature of time and the futility of trying to hold onto it. The repeated questioning of 'Why is it always about you?' suggests a struggle with self-centeredness or the dominance of another's influence over one's life.

The song also touches on themes of regret and realization. The lines 'Regret the days yeah, I could’ve prayed yeah, But I know you now and Now I see the fantasy' indicate a moment of clarity and self-awareness. This realization brings a sense of liberation, as the protagonist decides to take control of their path, symbolized by 'Imma take HIS path Like it’s mine.' The journey from vibrant colors to a color-blind state and back to a path of self-discovery encapsulates the emotional rollercoaster of finding one's true self amidst chaos and confusion.
