The song "Colours" by Emma Hewitt is about reflecting on past relationships and experiences. The lyrics suggest a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, wondering if things would have been different if given another chance. The opening lines "If you had this time again, would you do it all the same? I wonder, would I?" express the speaker's contemplation on whether they would make the same choices in their past relationship if given the opportunity. They question if there is anything they would change or do differently. The chorus, "All the colours that you bring, all come rushing back again, all the places that we've been this time," talks about how the memories of the relationship and the emotions associated with it come back in a vivid way. The mentioned colors and places symbolize the experiences and moments shared with the person. The lyrics continue to reflect on the people and faces that were a part of their lives during that time. They suggest that all those individuals will come running back to them, indicating a desire for connections and relationships to be restored. The line "And we never took the time to see where we were going, we were only passing by" suggests a lack of awareness or appreciation for the journey and the significance of the relationship. It signifies a realization that they didn't understand the importance of those moments until reflecting upon them in hindsight. The song also explores the theme of the flow of life, symbolized by the river. The lyrics mention how the river keeps on flowing and the beauty of the ride, indicating that life continues to progress and move forward, regardless of the circumstances. Overall, "Colours" is a reflective song about contemplating past choices and relationships, longing for their return, and recognizing the importance of cherishing the moments and the people in our lives.
