about

yellows and blues is a song about feeling like you will never reach your dreams due to mental blocks told through the lens of art and art history

lyrics

(verse)
painting in a dream
watch myself remade behind a screen
holding on tightly to
any kind of meaning that could bring
bringing in the red
carmine touching to a monet scene
face contorted un
til i become the scream

(pre-chorus)
close your eyes
pick a sky
we might die

(chorus)
i’d hoped to reach those van gogh hues
but i resign myself
to tarkovsky yellows and blues

will i see myself as klimt sees gold?
unlikely given that
i’m slowly declining to mold

(verse 2)
holding so dearly to
all the red of yesterday’s bleeding
feed the beast inside
to convince myself that i’m not dreaming
poetic renaissance
cloud 9, reaching up, i’m losing feeling
nobody touch me
or i could lose all meaning

(chorus)

(bridge)
hear psithurism in the painted breeze
realism rings true, i’m on my knees
hear your euphoric voice calling for me
i reach out for you — serendipity

(chorus)

(post-chorus)
close your eyes
lose the sky
we have died
