🔴 fun facts about red

✦Red is the first color humans learn to name after black and white — it's one of the oldest color words in almost every language.

✦It's the color with the longest wavelength visible to the human eye, which is why it's used for stop signs and warning labels — it grabs attention fastest.

✦Red raises heart rate and blood pressure when you look at it — it's the most physiologically intense color on the spectrum.

✦In different cultures red means wildly different things: danger and passion in the West, luck and prosperity in China, mourning in South Africa.

✦"Seeing red" as an expression of anger dates back to bullfighting myths — though bulls are actually colorblind to red.

✦Red is the color most associated with both love and danger — the same shade for a valentine and a warning sign.

✍ what this song means to me

this song is a reflective tune about not only seeing red flags in other people.

but also seeing the ones in yourself yourself

I also dive into how people see LGBTQ+ people as a RED FLAG.

For years, we have been labeled as outcasts and gay has been used as a derogatory word

Just our existence is a threat to people who have no idea how to be themselves

This one is for them! SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS.

📜 lyrics

Didi: Ayyyy no. Not another short masc lesbian coming into my life
The hotter they are, the more problematic, you know?
They love to promise you the whole world on the first day
Then a week later talking about we're just friends
Lovebombing 101
And I saw them early but I don't know
I guess the red flags have glitter on them...

[chorus]
Wave em low wave em high
No you don't need to hide
Go and show your true colors
I see you like there's no other
If I swallowed my pride
Open up look inside
See me like I'm no other
Would you see my true colors?
[verse 1]
Love is blinding
Yeah I've been there before
Hidden scars long nights
On the bathroom floor
Threw up the white flag
Yes I surrendered
Thought I was a soldier
Now I'm just a pretender
Red flags disappear at the sight of tears
Settling down seems to be my only fear
My only vice is a flower right between
Her thighs call that pussy power
And it's got a hold of me
Matter of fact it's the only thing controlling me
Since I was 8 I could relate
To the troubles of the man
But I got the same power so they'd never understand
[chorus]

Wave em low wave em high
No you don't need to hide
Go and show your true colors
I see you like there's no other
If I swallowed my pride
Open up look inside
See me like I'm no other
Would you see my true colors?
[verse 2]

What do you see when you look into the mirror
And when you sleep are the demons that you fear
Steering you away from the truth?
Now you got nothing to lose
Except that Ruby Rose
That you were always sleeping on
But here's a pillow princess
Go ahead and rest your head
I smoke away the pain
And let go of the rest of it
Can't shame a human being
Into being who they are
The tale always ends
Be careful what you wish forrrr
[outro]

Do you truly love me for who I am ?
Can you see me for who I want to be for you?
Do you truly love me for who I am ?
Can you see me for who I want to be for you?
