“Colourful Me” is a song about stepping out from the shadows of silence and self-protection into the full spectrum of authenticity. It begins with a yearning to belong—searching for a place and people where the real self is welcomed rather than moulded to fit expectations. The verses carry the ache of that long wait, the moments of disconnect, and the quiet retreat of shutdown when it feels safer to fade away than to risk rejection.
But the chorus rises as a declaration: no more beige, no more hiding. It’s an anthem of choosing vibrancy over invisibility, of reclaiming identity in all its shades. The bridge acknowledges the fragility that can still come with exposure, yet it makes the chorus even more powerful—a reminder that freedom isn’t the absence of struggle, but the decision to live in truth despite it.
At its heart, “Colourful Me” is both tender and triumphant: a celebration of dropping the disguise, embracing authenticity, and finding joy in finally being free.
Lyrics
Its time to be me
I want to belong
To find my tribe…
It's been too long
No more hiding
No more fear
No beige and boring
I’m colourful me
(colourful me)
And it feels good
To be free
Good to be free
Let me show you who I am
The colours underneath
Not the faded shadow—
But the light I’m meant to be
Let me show you who I am
See the colours within me
The one you came to love
The one I’m meant to be
No more hiding
No more fear
No beige and boring
I’m colourful me
(colourful me)
And it feels good
To be free
Watching on in silence
As everyone connects
Don't know what I'm missing
Not sure what's next
Watching on in silence
As the room comes alive
Don’t know what I’m missing
Or how to survive
When the shutdown comes
I sink down deep inside
Blending with the wallpaper
A shapeshifter
Hiding in disguise....
My spark grows dim
They look right through me—
Like I'm not there
(not there)
No more hiding
No more fear
No beige and boring
I’m colourful me
(colourful me)
And it feels good
To be free
Authentic me
good to be free
good to be free
I'm free
Colourful me
Colourful me
