about

Singer Stephen says:
Chroma is about fresh starts and rebuilding yourself. I was reflecting on past relationships and about how you can trick yourself into finding positives in really bad times and Chroma became the song that is a wake up call.

The expression about looking back on things through rose tinted glasses and seeing more good than there actually was got under my skin so the chorus focuses on the real colours and not the rose tint from nostalgia as a way of grounding yourself. Chroma acknowledges my own liability in those situations and pushes me to grow from it.

lyrics

It's like waking up from a bad dream
And I'm surrounded by all these terrible things I'd laid to rest
Or so I'd thought
But they bite my heels when I try to walk it off
Let's not pretend that we are saints
We are life lessons learned the hardest ways
And your not sweet
And I'm not kind
When we went to bed we were dragged there by lies

You were blue eyes
Under the grey skies
As we sat by the river
And you were white lies
To help kill my time
I'm feeling weaker and weaker

With shaking hands
And waking voice
I had called you up, given you a choice
And you chose him
You abandoned me
And you whitewash all of this history
We had such promise
We had such plans
Now I'll die a boy or build myself into a man
It will take time
By the end of this year I will write you out of my life
