"Feeling Yellow, I'm confused inside. A little hazy but mellow, when I see your eyes on me"
- Colorblind, Darius Danesh
I always feel there are mysteries in the universe we don't know about. I'm fascinated by the far away heavenly bodies I read about, all the stars and meteors NASA keeps discovering, light years away.
But some things that you see everyday, can easily be as mysterious.
Just like the color “Yellow”
The color of the sun, the marigolds, the flickering traffic light and one of the two dreaded cards on the soccer field, it has been a mystery to me all along.
The color is so reflective; it acts as a camouflage, hiding its own qualities and reiterating something entirely different.
Well, I couldn't think of more philosophical or thoughtful stuff about yellow so I made it not necessarily about the color, but all the mysteries it signifies.
The importance these secrets hold in our lives, is mind boggling.
Sometimes, it seems best just to shun them in a corner of your mind and forget about it, but at times, it nags you and eats you from the inside until you spill it out. And what is revealed and what isn't, makes it what it is.
So can we call it our very own Yellow Fever ?? Or as we say in French, "Comme si, comme ça" (As if, Like that)
Shakespeare wrote in Julius Caeser, whenever a man tries to cover up a fact, the nature makes it a point to uncover it and reveal the truth.
So what does it mean ?? even I’m confused now. Does a mystery stand for, "a truth not yet discovered" or "a cover up" ??
Come of think of it, I remember this one more incident with the color Yellow.
Some years back, when my relationship was on the rocks, out of the blue, my ex said. "Yellow".
When I asked what it meant, she simply said that the word gives her strength. But strength for what, to try and get through those difficult times or strength to just say the bitter words and end it once and for all ??
Guess even that'll remain a mystery for me huh ;)
"Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you. And everything you do, yeah they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you. And all the things you do and it was called yellow"
