If nothing else, we can see that he definitely felt disappointed with this. He turned to her hoping she could be his cure, and instead, she was the one who changed. And he hated himself, so how could he love someone who had become like him? I know it’s messed up, but maybe he felt betrayed even. His feelings for her disappeared because as he watched her change, it felt more and more like looking into a mirror. She had become too much like him for him to love her. “and you decided purple just wasn’t for you.” But now, she is just becoming more and more like him, worse and worse. He ‘infected’ her with the very disease that he hoped she could cure him of… or he at least hoped she could distract him. It seems that her love interest in this song did not have much self-love, so when Halsey began to act like him, it was hard to love her. “You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky,”Īs she was with him, she began to adopt more and more of his negative behaviors. We can also see above that Halsey sees blue as ‘other-worldly,’ so maybe this is how he saw her, ethereal. He had many negative behaviors, and he liked Halsey because she did not have these negative behaviors. “You were red and you liked me cause I was blue.” Maybe the red symbolized his negative behaviors. He was red, a color that stands for many things, including violence, aggression, and danger. That’s what I was wondering! My first thought was that maybe she was temporarily pretending to be him, singing his part since this song is a solo. Owing to this, you fall out of love with them.
You don’t like the new person they have become. Why? Because they are indulging in a negative behavior that is changing the beautiful person they used to be. In all, this song is about no longer feeling romantic love for your lover. Around that same time, Healy was battling heroin addiction. It is noteworthy that Halsey and Matty Healy were in relationship in 2015. She cited, among other things, drug addiction as one of the things that could qualify as a negative behavior gradually sapping the liveliness out of the person. They lose their vibrancy because they are falling victim to a behavior detrimental to their well-being. Ive missed your calls for months, it seems Dont realize how mean I can be Cause I can sometimes. What Halsey said about “Colors”Īccording to Halsey, the song is about being in a romantic relationship and sadly watching the vibrancy and liveliness of the person you are in this relationship with gradually leave them. Halsey - Sorry (Letras y canción para escuchar) - So Im sorry to my unknown lover / Sorry that I cant believe / That anybody ever really / Starts to fall in love with me. This song has a general applicability, as Halsey states it’s about “being in a relationship”. However, it is clear from the lyrics, especially at the beginning of the track, that she is talking about someone in particular. And that person happens to be singer Matty Healy of the 1975.
