RED

The colour is RED (lyrics)

My soul is RED

my spirit, forever RED,

look at my clothes...

 RED

my aura....injured

eyes...RED

your knuckles...BLOOD RED

the butcher's laugh...

 RED

my shoes, RED

you slowly enter my room

quickly flicking the switch...

RED light...ON

you're familiar

with my room

you crawl on your knees

and shake my bed

I look outside

my bedroom window

the entire sky...

turned RED

I can see

your poison glowing

as it creeps

across my soul

welcome to 

the freak show

of golden abuse

I remain silent

in my fleshly tomb

Well it would be very difficult to comment on this writing without making an allusion to the popular understanding of the colour red. Although I am sure that someone will manage to say something without mentioning it, I will go down the safest route. So Red as far as I know and only based on the incredible passion coming from the writing, is the color of fire and blood which is mentioned, so it is associated with energy,truly mentioned, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense colour but it is also an allusion and here is where Rob changes gears a little bit. As I opened my windows and the entire sky is red which to me goes beyond just an emotional state getting close to a state of mind even. The end left me silent as rather than explode and shows signs of having enough it remains silent in his tomb.

Like Stevie Ray Vaughan said The skies are crying.

Thankyou
