Dresden Dolls - Colorblind

My English is poor because I'm Fench, so I will try to make me understand.
When I searched this song on You Tube, I found nothing. So I made a video with the English lyrics and I translated them. I think this a wonderful song by The Dresden Dolls. I deleted my first video because she wasn't really good.

The way i interpret this song is that she loves him in so many different ways because hes the world to her. "you only love in red." could mean that he only lusts for her...or that the only way he can show his love for her is to lash out at her.

[@kierstencreates958]

Agreed, it could also portray blood, if there is violence involved.

[@kaitlyndillon8256]

reminds me of Flowers In The Attic. and it's by the Dresdon Dolls... lol so beautiful and bittersweet

[@Emilyy306]

+Kaitlyn Dillon Yes! It fits so perfectly. Flowers in the Attic is one of my favorite books. (Along with the series)

[@Nameless-dw5nv]

Thank you! From this comment I checked out the book and just finished it! Now I get where my favorite band got their name from! :D

[@Nameless-dw5nv]

Thanks you people in the comment section. Coming back to this since I finished Flowers in the Attic and it gives the song even more depth. I also understand where my favorite band got their name from!

[@mrsmarlie1999]

This really reminds me of Cathy from Flowers In The Attic.

[@anna_nikole]

Holy shit, I'm a huge Dresden Dolls fan, and I'm just now discovering this.

[@IgnacDvorsky]

The way I interpret this song is, that she loved him very strong, and deep, and in many different ways. But he didn't feel the same about her, and he only wanted sex, and very material things, but he didn't really care about her. But her feelings were very strong, so she couldn't stop loving him

[@lucy798]

The french underneath makes to more beautiful!

[@iamsochemical]

The lyrics are really shocking, the song is a little bit slow for my liking, but still good

[@NeichaUnagi]

Can you not read the title? It's the dresden dolls.

[@AliceWaitsInTheFire]

I still love him..it's the kind of love that you feel for your friends, for your family AND for your lover..but he only loves in red. I can't blame him. He isn't able to feel anything else. Actually I pity him. And me, of course.

[@briantylutke6065]

J'aime les mots francais. Tres belle.

[@PinkButterfly2004]

wow, this made me cry..

[@NeichaUnagi]

the french translation is all but accurate =/ too bad the song's awesome.

[@Baileycake92]

This song makes me feel so alive.

[@TheAtomic1234321]

Havnt we all been in love with someone, and they love us back, but we know that you 2 aren't meant to be. That's what I always think of when listening to this songNot trying to be all emo or nuttin, but a sad fact is it seems like sometimes Love isn't enough

[@00snakeman00]

TheAtomic1234321 in the middle of this situation right now

[@cheycheystriker]

wow. this is exactly how I feel about my exboyfriend right now...

[@MissScabtree13]

I can relate to this song.,.it's just oh so beautiful and sad and tragic...a love that cannot be, simply because the man is cold and mean and "blind"

[@gaseki]

To anyone who wants to download this: It's a free download from TDD website. Along with a few other pieces.

[@BlackRose2354]

this gets me disheartened, because i have a boyfriend and i get insecure often because i've been hurt too much. so this makes me..... QAQ

[@rumplestiltskinsbaby]

when i love him in so many ways i cant figure out which is the right way for us. and i know i mean evrything to him but i just end up hurting us both and i cant stand it.

[@peachyhoya]

Wow, this is amazing.

[@alexroseduke]

This song is beautiful

[@kierstencreates958]

I wish the kind of pain this song expresses on no one.

[@mokshamishka6101]

Just found the lyrics to this in my dead journal, 17 years later. 🖤

[@alittleunhinged]

Absolutley beautiful piano.

[@elena2oo7]

Favorite piano solo ever.

[@faggatree]

Thank you

[@MetalAmaya]

The music lyrics say "And I love you in bright orange - Andi in violet and in green - And I love you in such colors" and the music is called colorblind. So, to me, it seems that the person who Amanda is singing about Doesn't love her in the same way(s)/can't love at all. In the end "But I know you're not the one..." So is real love but not the "right one". It probably sounds very odd, but makes sense to me.

[@draculina969]

omg..this song is amazing...

[@briantylutke6065]

"Et je t'ai aime dans l'orange brilliant" - beautiful. J'aime qu'tu as traduisse a francais. C'est tres belle.

[@qwertyuiiop145]

I would translate "I know it's dark for good" as "Je sais que c'est sombre pour toujours" or some variant. I'm not that excellent at French but "c'est bon pour l'obscuritee" sounds like it's saying "it's good for darkness".

[@BlackRose2354]

@WhiteWalls75 lol, it's a face icon. just imagine the "Q"s are wide eyes with tears and the "A" is the mouth.

[@troppopoco]

You were colorblind, you were not of my kind. And so there's no turning back. But I love you.

[@Ginaodegaard]

Reminds me so much of Tony & Ziva of NCIS, which is how I found the song (while searching for pictures of them.) Really beautiful ..

[@mgtnatoo5030]

c'est juste magnifique.. je l'apprecie d'autant l'écouter le soir dans mon lit quand la maison est silencieuse

[@iamsochemical]

But the end of the song is pretty sad, i like it :(

[@naaboh]

esto es realmente trIste ... T.T

[@PanoplyCabaret]

oh god. this song................

[@WhiteWalls75]

@BlackRose2354 what does qaq mean?

[@sonnetxi]

@AvrilRockerz08 how do you know?

[@HelloKitty86]

pretty good unrequited love song!

[@hey0723]

i love you how u love this song

[@awesomegamingdude64]

OH! SHAT UP! ;( IT MAKES MY CRY!

[@fahim113]

Beautiful in its simplicity

[@carlosantoniocruz88]

I always heard instead of: go back to your kind "and ill go back to mine" as "and go back to mars.

[@Nameless-dw5nv]

Well not too much of a changed meaning there :D

[@MetalAmaya]

You're welcome!

[@StrictSnow]

I feel aslep.

[@garfield69]

ERIK!!! ;A;

[@toxicallypink]

dear god amanda, you're gonna kill me with tears. I'm in love with a girl, completely and unconditionally and she loves me, up to a certain point and not in the same way i love her. she loves me as a friend. and her girlfriend's favourite colour is RED. everything she owns and wears is red. she's red. she's always been red, enraged, passionate and hurtful. FML

[@Readmybumpersticker]

This is the first time I heard this song, I thought it would end with "I loved you like a mother, the father of my son" or something less corny cause of the "I loved you unprotected" bit earlier, maybe I took it too literally. Great song.

[@dakatao]

Who is this by?

[@claraluvsmusic]

It's a nice song but I kinda find it insulting... Cause I actually am colourblind I have achromatopsia :( anyway I like the piano in itI understand the lyrics it's just that some of the wording in it is kinda harsh if you know what being colourblind is actually like... But I don't mind being colourblind it's who I am :,) nice peaceful song tho xxx

[@cocacoladragon22]

Oh brother 🙄
