In my world, the lonely wind is calm, the waves are calm, never seeing beautiful scenery
我的黑我的白变成最灿烂的未来

My black, my white turns into the brightest future
才明白 天要我等待一个人到来 变成我唯一色彩
cái míng bái tiān yào wǒ děng dài yí gè rén dào lái biàn chéng wǒ wéi yī sè cǎi
Only then did I understand, heaven wants me to wait for someone to come and become my only color
Ooh…Lonely Eyes 你是深蓝色的大海 涌向我梦境都打开
Ooh…Lonely Eyes nǐ shì shēn lán sè de dà hǎi yǒng xiàng wǒ mèng jìng dōu dǎ kāi
Ooh... Lonely Eyes, you're the deep blue sea surging into all my dreams
Ooh…Baby 我迫不及待生命有了主宰 心跳有新的节拍
Ooh…Baby wǒ pò bù jí dài shēng mìng yǒu le zhǔ zǎi xīn tiào yǒu xīn de jié pāi
Ooh... Baby, I can't wait for life to have a ruler, my heartbeat has a new rhythm
我的黑我的白变成最灿烂的未来
wǒ de hēi wǒ de bái biàn chéng zuì càn làn de wèi lái
My black, my white turns into the brightest future
才明白 天要我等待一个人到来 变成我唯一色彩

Only then did I understand, heaven wants me to wait for someone to come and become my only color
Ooh…Lonely Eyes 你是深蓝色的大海 涌向我梦境都打开
Ooh…Lonely Eyes nǐ shì shēn lán sè de dà hǎi yǒng xiàng wǒ mèng jìng dōu dǎ kāi

Song Interpretation
Short Summary
"唯一色彩" (The Only Color) by 郭富城 (Aaron Kwok) explores the themes of longing, transformation, and the search for love and meaning. The song contrasts the monotony of life with the colorful emotions that emerge through the presence of a special person, symbolizing the transformative power of love and connection.
Detailed Insights
The song opens with imagery of a world devoid of color and inspiration, symbolized by the blue sky and the forgetting of the rainbow. This sets a melancholic tone, reflecting a life filled with routine and disconnectedness. The lyrics describe a person lost in the chaos of daily life, with cars crowded like bees and no one paying attention to their face, highlighting feelings of isolation and invisibility.
The repetition of black and white imagery throughout the song emphasizes the lack of passion and emotional fulfillment. The singer, however, begins to understand that the arrival of a particular person, symbolized as the "only color," is the key to breaking free from this emotional numbness. The person brings new meaning to life, transforming the dullness into a vivid future filled with possibilities. The lyrics also explore the longing for connection and the excitement that comes with the arrival of love, expressed through the metaphor of the deep blue sea and the rhythm of a new heartbeat.
Ultimately, the song portrays the idea that life, while initially dull and colorless, can be transformed by the presence of a significant other. This "only color" brings warmth, depth, and vibrancy to the singer's world, creating a sense of completeness and purpose.
