• The meaning of the title:
• “All the different emotions that are
written about on this album are all
pretty much about the kind of
tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense,
semi-toxic relationships that I’ve
experienced in the last two years.
All those emotions — spanning
from intense love, intense
frustration, jealousy, confusion, all
of that — in my mind, all those
emotions are red. You know, there’s
nothing in between. There’s nothing
beige about any of those feelings."

And I never saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same
From state of grace
Losing him was blue, like I’ve never
known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to
know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
From red
And you throw your head back
laughing like a little kid.
I think it’s strange that you think I’m
funny.
Cause he never did.
I’ve been spending the last 8 months
thinking all love ever does.
Is break and burn and end.
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I
watched it begin again.
From begin again
