Lauren Jauregui ushered in a new era with “Colors,” taken from her debut solo EP Prelude. Written and produced with her friend Johnny Rain in her apartment, this single is the first as an independent artist under her label Attunement Records in partnership with AWAL.
Opening with an airy piano befo...
[Intro]
Can't be without you
Don't wanna be with you
And although I have tried to
My heart has a way of rejecting what's good for it
[Verse]
I'm sorry
I know it's tiring
Said all the convincing
I can be someone I feel I'm not
Who taught me that
I wasn't good enough?
Why did I let you believe it?
Why haven't I caught your bluff?
When everyone's gone, you can fall apart
You will see it's always been
You and I (You and I, you and I)
Oh, you and I (You and I, you and I)
Stay (Stay)
Like the colors on the walls
Paint
But you can't erase them all
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I'm starting to see it now
It's so clear to me now (Found out)
I'm actually not addicted to the drugs
I'm addicted to feeling fucking numb
This world I'm living in, there's just too much to be done
To dismantle the mental that has us moving like
We weren't made with love
Creator's watching, I know that much
Sat me down and told me to, "Stop watching, start doing
If you don't listen to the messages, I promise they'll just keep coming"
Ignoring Spirit really never helped me amount to nothing so
Grow

When you paint a wall, you have to paint over what is underneath. I’m trying to convince myself I’m someone I’m not. The song is a literal conversation. When everyone is gone, it’s just you and I. You can paint on the wall, but you can’t erase them all. I’m letting myself know that no matter what is...
