Black and White Lyrics Meanings
by Timothy Van Bloem

Maybe I’m not a good boy, not what people think.
I know I’m not an angel, I’ve already died my wings.
I can play the villain, I can take the fall.
Believe me I’ll get stronger, faster, smarter through it all.

I can be the hero, I can save the day.
As long as I don’t have myself I know I’ll be okay.
I can be your white light, I can be your hope.
There will be no mercy I can feel it in my bones.

So plunge me into the dark and see how much I will scream.
It’s not about who we are it’s all about who you wanna be.
Bring me up from the ground and then absolve all my sins.
Don’t know where we go from here but I know that I won’t fit in.

And my wings are going black and white.
And the world is going black and white.
Everyone is choosing black or white,
With me in the middle color me black and white and grey.

The water’s getting higher, as my island starts to drown.
Everytime I try to fly I’m pulled back to the ground.
There is no more safehouse, no neutral in between.
I guess it’s finally time to choose who isn’t me.

So plunge me into the dark and see how much I will scream.
It’s not about who we are it’s all about who you wanna be.
Bring me up from the ground and then absolve all my sins.
Don’t know where we go from here but I know that I won’t fit in.

And my wings are going black and white.
And the world is going black and white.
Everyone is choosing black or white,
With me in the middle color me black and white and grey.

Didn’t wanna pick a side, didn’t wanna certify.
Didn’t wanna learn to fly but now we in the sky.
Didn’t wanna pick a side didn’t wanna certify.
Didn’t wanna learn to fly but now we in the sky (so plunge me into the dark).

So plunge me into the dark and see how much I will scream.
It’s not about who we are it’s all about who you wanna be.
(It’s all about who you wanna be)
Bring me up from the ground and then absolve all my sins.
Don’t know where we go from here but I know that I won’t fit in.
(Don’t know where we go from here)

And my wings are going black and white.
And the world is going black and white.
Everyone is choosing black or white,
With me in the middle color me black and white and grey.

Maybe I’m not a good boy.
