Song lyrics: Broadside – Hidden Colors
I wanted to write you in all of my songs
I always end up where I start
My empty pages
And if I could paint you like one of my French girls
Would we make love inside your car
Like crashing wavesLike neon lights we burn all night
Hidden colors
In the darkShe’s perfect
Undoubtedly worth it
A rising sun at daybreak feels worthless
Self doubt in her mirror now
But doesn’t reflect how
She’s perfect
On more than the surfaceYour fire burns bright
You are my lightOne scroll through your gram
To make you feel bad
Evaluating who you are
Or who you aren’t
The fact that you blessed us
The moment you woke up
Wish I could hang you up like art
Like Van Gogh’s starsLike neon lights we burn all night
Hidden colors
In the darkShe’s perfect
Undoubtedly worth it
A rising sun at daybreak feels worthless
Self doubt in her mirror now
But doesn’t reflect how
She’s perfect
On more than the surfaceMade to believe in silicone dreams
Don’t have the looks of a fantasy
You’ll never add up to anything
If you ask me what beautiful means
It’s the power of a strong woman
Chasing her own dreamI need to make this clear
She’s perfect
Undoubtedly worth it
A rising sun at daybreak feels worthless
Self doubt in her mirror now
But doesn’t reflect how
She’s perfect
On more than the surfaceYour fire burns bright
You are my lightI wanted to write you in all of my songs
But there aren’t enough words to describe
The fact that you blessed us the moment you woke up
I wish I could hang you up like…
On the clip, vocalist Ollie Baxxter explains, “We wanted to represent the women in our life with the utmost respect and how grateful we are for them. We live in a very romantic time, but not enough people are focusing on where the romance actually comes from, the pure undying desire for love. ‘Hidden Colors’ is about young lovers in the night. It’s about telling that person just what you appreciate about them. You can NEVER tell someone enough how much they actually mean to you.”
