"Monochrome" by Kenny Holland is a song that explores the feeling of being lost and forgotten in a world where everyone seems to blend in and act emotionless. The lyrics paint a picture of a world filled with blank stares and faces, where even the most vibrant and colorful personalities are suppressed and overshadowed. In the song, Kenny expresses his care and concern for someone who is feeling trapped and unseen in this monochrome world. He acknowledges the darkness that surrounds them and the need for something or someone to bring light into their lives. Kenny wants this person to know that he is there for them, ready to help them navigate through the difficult times. The chorus emphasizes the unwavering support Kenny offers to this person. Despite the challenges they face and the feeling of being unable to overcome them, he promises to always find them when they need to be found and keep them safe. It is a message of solidarity and the idea that they are not alone in their struggles. It is "us against the world," united in the face of adversity. The song also touches upon the frustration of feeling unheard and undervalued. The metaphor of a voice trapped in cages and monochrome pages represents the internal struggle this person faces to assert their true selves in a world that suppresses individuality. Kenny hopes that they will not give up, that they will continue to fight for their voice to be heard, and reassures them that he believes they are still in there somewhere. Ultimately, "Monochrome" conveys a message of empathy, support, and the importance of finding one's true colors amidst a world that may try to dim them. By being there for someone, listening to them, and offering our unwavering support, we can help them navigate through their dark moments and remind them of their worth.
