Color or colour (see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, green, blue, and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates.
Because perception of color stems from the varying spectral sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the retina to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. These physical or physiological quantifications of color, however, do not fully explain the psychophysical perception of color appearance.

Plot
Many years from now: The world is entirely online. Super computers are fused with human minds, connecting people around the world in a vast digital labyrinth called the network. In this virtual world, verbal communication has become obsolete, eliminating the need to speak with one another. The simple concepts of art, emotion and even love have vanished. Life exists online, with the network providing the only legitimate form of existence. At the heart of the story is MESSING, a man infatuated with a GIRL, though frustrated by his desire to communicate directly with her. He secretly studies the old ways of speech and communication, as a means of understanding his very human desires. As his actions become increasingly dangerous, he is forced to make a choice: to remain forever trapped within the bleak online world of the network; or embrace his emotions, at great risk of disconnection and segregation from the network.
In an online world... the more we connect... the more isolated we become.
Colour fades away
With a light descending on the day
Midnight sees your friend
Oh could you call his name
Would you know his name
I come here for your love
But, God only knows
Colour fades away
Good times here today
Meanwhile you would say
I close my eyes
Colour fades away
Tell me who are you for anyway
Midnight is your friend
Will we see a beginning in the end
God only knows what we've put in that paint
God only knows
Colour fades away
Good times here today
Here most every day
Meanwhile you would say
I close my eyes
And dream of only yesterday
Colour fades away
Good times here today
Here most everyday
Meanwhile you would say
That I close my eyes
Colour
Fades to grey
I dream so exciting
But I, I feel so bold
I know a girl who sees the good in things
No coins could cover both her eyes
When I've convinced myself (aah)
Everything's all wrong
She turns me on
Turns me 'round, upside down
'Cause she could see the colour
'Cause she could see the colour
(Da da da da da)
Two daisies for her eyes
'Cause she could see color
White rays surround her yellow disc
I need this girl to see the (aah)
Good in things, uh, huh, huh
Tie-dye desire in a black-light kiss
'Cause she could see the colour
'Cause she could see the colour
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
I need this girl who sees the good in things
(I need this girl who sees the good in things)
No coins could cover both her eyes
(No coins could cover)
She could see the colour
She could see the colour
She could see the colour
She could see the colour
Thought that's how the world would be for me
I never knew what it was gonna take
Made some monumental mistakes
And saw the blue skies wash away
I was so lost, save me at all costs
When I need you baby, when I need you
When the lights off, I feel the rain fall
That's when I see you, that's when I see you
[Chorus:]
Colour- la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
It lived inside of my heart
You bought it back with your love
Colour- la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
When it was all black and white
You made everything right
You make it right right right right
I forgot who I was supposed to be
Reminded me of a hope again, you made me dream
Red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet, green
You're the start and the end of my rainbow
I was so lost, save me at all costs
When I need you baby, when I need you
When the lights off, I feel the rain fall
That's when I see you, that's when I see you
[Chorus]
If the rain falls hard, I know where you are
I know where you are if the rain falls
If the rain falls hard, I know where you are
I know where you are if the rain falls
Its something we all say we want
Its something most will live without
Happy is what you make
Its up to you it's not my choice to make
I don't need that anymore
I'm older now I'm seeing clear
This is what I made
Its up to me it's not your choice to make
Its nothing that you want to hear
So listen up, make myself clear
Sacrifice is your savior
Its on the inside that you'll find it all
Not in the shit you bought at the shopping mall
Its learning how to give with your selfish bones
Everything I say is free, I aint nobody's property
The greatest thing on Earth
When you feel it running down the back of your spine you'll know
Nobody can take what everybody owns
The skys on fire its burning you alive
With your jealousy
You can take and you take
Your left with nothing but your misery
Even seeing everything that you've done
Won't make you stop being who you've always been
Even seeing everything that you've become
Over land and sea, moving constantly, you are in the smallest place.
Standing face to face.
Now I can see it, where I never knew. And now I’ve found it, it’s always been you.
Smiling, from the heart I feel you as you are. Smiling, raining down like sun.
Smiling, and in the my soul I see you as you are. Smiling on and on and on.
Holding the world in hand, spinning round at your command,
You are in every DNA, your signature displayed.
Now I can see it, where I never knew, and now I’ve found it.
It’s always been you.
Offer up a world in your hand, crossing tide and time to bring me home.
Tell me who, who knows who's been having you
I know it's a guy, ah, but you're just not their type
You face it at the top, you flew into my eyes
Your soul it's a pearl, well, it should not be thrown to swine
Yeah, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever, oh, yeah
So the truth, when I look what they've done to you
You're under the knife, well, I'm gonna cut you loose
But you are the kind and we'll make it fit just fine
This tower's a frown, oh, but somehow you make me smile
Yeah, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh God, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, I told you before I believe in beginnings
Well, I?ll say it again we were cursed from the start
Now if this is a joke, someone better start grinning
Oh, but don?t tell me girl that it?s all in my heart
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can?t, you can't save yourself
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can?t, you can't save yourself
(Well, they shot me dead)
Yeah, the dawn broke so quick we forgot of the evening
Well, the moon turned so red they forgot of the dawn
Better learn how to swim like you learned about a sinking
Oh, my cold little girl, gonna reap what you?ve sown
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can?t, you can't save yourself
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can?t, you can't save yourself
(Well, they shot us all dead)
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can?t, you can't save yourself
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
You'll dry your tears, you're Mary Magdalene
You're all your fears, yo, they must pass
Yo, don?t you mind do what they?re telling you
You gotta take that light, you shine it on and on and on
They?ll tell you that all your love is for nothing
They?ll tell you that all your love, it won?t mean a thing to them
They?ll tell you that all your love
We?re to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun
We?re to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun
Oh, don?t you cry to me, oh, don?t you cry to me
Yeah, don?t you cry to me no more
Oh, don?t you cry to me, oh, don?t you cry to me
Yeah, don?t you cry to me no more
You rise again, you're brother Lazarus
You tell the dead the time has come
You salt the earth with what he?s given you
You gotta take that light and shine it on and on and on
They?ll tell you that all your love is for nothing
They?ll tell you that all your love, it won?t mean a thing to them
They?ll tell you that all your love
We?re to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun
We?re to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun
Oh, don?t you cry to me, oh, don?t you cry to me
Oh, don?t you cry to me no more
Oh, don?t you cry to me, oh, don?t you cry to me
Yeah, don?t you cry to me no more, ya, yeah sing it
Yeah, don?t you cry to me, yeah, don?t you cry to me
Yeah, don?t you cry to me no more
Yeah, don?t you cry to me, yeah, don?t you cry to me
And oh, go tell the mountainside, go tell the mountainside
Throw its roots to the sea
And oh, how you?ve grown up so wild, how you?ve grown up so wild
You?re like the mustard seed now
Hey, but I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun and our children were the stars
And oh, who we touched like the sands
It was just like the sands on the shores to come
And oh, and to sail in your eyes, through those dawn colored eyes
Yeah, we could leave today mama
And I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun and our children were the stars
And I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun and our children were the stars
Now heaven, you let your hair hang down
You let your hair hang down all along your breast
Now heaven, you let your hair down
You let your hair hang down all across my flesh
Now, heaven, you let your hair hang down
Oh, well, I?ve seen you around all those dark corners
Oh, where the shattered glass shines like stars
Oh, where those boys will be girls and those girls will be for hire
I swear they?re all strung out on those boulevards
She said, just give me a chance to explain
She said, just give me a chance, give me a chance
She said, just give me a chance to explain
She said, just give me a chance, give me a chance
You come on over, we?ll make it right
We?ll lay it down then we?ll kill the lights
You come on over, we?ll make it right
We?ll lay it down then we?ll kill the lights, yeah
Oh, with those curtains drawn, you know that she?s so pretty
Oh, from those years of living in her car
Oh, in her soul there?s a country but her body?s a city
Oh, where those freeways aren?t free at all
She said, just give me a chance to explain
She said, just give me a chance, give me a chance
She said, just give me a chance to explain
She said, just give me a chance, give me a chance
You come on over, we?ll make it right
We?ll lay it down then we?ll kill the lights
You come on over, we?ll make it right
We?ll lay it down then we?ll kill the lights
You come on over, we?ll make it right
We?ll lay it down then we?ll kill the lights
You come on over, we?ll make it right
We?ll lay it down then we?ll kill the lights
You come on over, we?ll make it right
We?ll lay it down then we?ll kill the lights
And you, you can tell me what to do, you can tell me what to say
And you, you can tell me what to do, you can tell me what to say
You come on over, we?ll make it right
My serpentine so seasoned
Oh, can?t you see the bronze cross upon my headboard?
Oh, and then you, you whisper so gently such haughty words
That I don?t want to hear no more
Yes, I know, that it?s not ordinary that you?re so unordinary
Well, now there?s nothing left to do, ooh, but follow you, oh, oh
And everybody?s talking at me
But don?t nobody know their place
My sister she knows completely
She gives me just a taste
Well, everybody?s talking at me
But don?t nobody know their place
My sister she knows completely
But gives me just a taste
My seraphim so softly
You?re like the deadly spider creeping under my door
Well, and then you, you crawl into my ear
Spinning all your webs out now till I can?t think straight no more
Yes, I know, it?s not ordinary that you?re so unordinary
Well, now there?s nothing left to do, ooh, but follow you, oh, oh
And everybody?s talking at me
But don?t nobody know their place
My sister she knows completely
She gives me just a taste
Well, everybody?s talking at me
But don?t nobody know their place
My sister she knows completely
Oh, she gives me just a taste
Give me just a taste, you give me just a taste
You give me just a taste, you give me just a taste
Now, I?m on your street then I?m at your down
And I?m in your house, coming back for whatever I want now, oh
Well, now I?m on your street then I?m at your down
And I?m in your house, coming back for just one more, oh
You give me just a taste, you give me just a taste
As long as you have your feet above ground
The sky as your crown, the coat tails made of breeze
You come with me, come with me
You la la la la, you la la la la, you la la la la, oh, oh
You made the demons bite your toes, the fairies kiss your nose
Made you roll in the leaves till they become your clothes
You come with me, come with me
You la la la la, you la la la la, you la la la la, oh,oh
You la la la la, you la la la la, you la la la la, oh,oh
The earth and sky, don?t you pass me by
The earth and sky, don?t you pass me by, don?t you grow long, grow long
Ooh, let's call out now to the valley down below
You'll have to burn this house down so we can find a home
Or you'll tear it down now or return to dust man
The devil's got a holda me
The devil's got a holda me
The devil's got a holda me
Well, it's a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely road
The ground, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's so damn cold
We're all in the same mess alone, no love
No lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, oh no
Oh, let's have a special bed for them, a bed that bones just like seats
A bed that's not red, it's cold like their heads I watch chrome
In their forms and twisted fears or feel the four winds
Devil's got a holda me
The Devil's got a holda me
The Devil's got a holda me
Well, it's a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely road
The ground, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's so damn cold
We're all in the same mess alone, no love
No lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, oh
The devil's got a holda me, the devil's got a holda me
The devil's got a holda me, the devil's got a holda me
The devil's got a holda me, the devil's got a holda me
The devil's got a holda me, the devil's got a holda me
Ooh, it's a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely road
The ground, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's so damn cold
We're all in the same mess alone oh, no, no love
Break of day?s, up ahead where I?m going
The glass is raised 'cause they can?t keep me down
You strike the drum, wake the dead, bring the children
You tell your friends that the sea divides
In the trees, in the fields, in the meadows
What?s the sound from the underground?
They buried me but I just keep on standing
You're like the wind that gonna rise again
You?ll never see it coming baby
But can?t you hear it call?
We?re gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on
You?ll never see it coming baby
But can?t you hear it call?
We?re gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on
On my knees are saying prayers to the widows
We're dancing free with these gypsy eyes
You see the streams daughter, be like the rivers
You flow with me between earth and sky
They?ll never see it coming baby
But can?t you hear it call?
We?re gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on
You?ll never see it coming baby
But can?t you hear it call?
We?re gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on
If that?s the way, only way to be
If that?s the way, only way to be
If that?s the way, only way to be
Then that?s the way, only way to be, hey
If that?s the way, only way to be
If that?s the way, only way to be
If that?s the way, only way to be
And we go on and on and on and on
If that?s the way, only way to be
If that?s the way, only way to be
If that?s the way, only way to be
What's the rush if Eden's lost to us
Let it out girl, you know we're just instruments
And we'll be having it all, your black summer
And I'll be ready to fall in your arms, oh
Flames they burn, oh, in ecstasy
Flesh divides child but you're entangled with me
Yeah, we'll be having it all, your black summer
And I?m ready to crawl back to your arms, oh, yeah, oh
Yeah, we'll be having it all, your black summer
And I?m happy you called at all
Yeah, I?m having it all, your black summer
And I?m ready to fall in your arms
Well, if these black skies they just don?t turn
Well, if these desperate nights they just won?t burn
Yeah, if our harvest, oh, it never comes
You cast your charms into the blue
Oh, their broken arms opened for you
Circus creatures they march to their own tune
Bearded lady she?ll understand you
Hey, no, hey, hey, what?s left to hang on to?
Hey, no, hey, hey, what?s left to hang on to?
Is all that?s left
Sink your ships into the deep
Oh, there's a mermaid lips ever so sweet
Serpent gardens, no place for the poor boy
Siren tides in, washed up with no shore
Hey, no, hey, hey, what?s left to hang on to?
Hey, no, hey, hey, what?s left to hang on to?
Hey, no, hey, hey, what?s left to hang on to?
Is all that?s left
Hey, no, hey, hey, what?s left to hang on to?
Hey, no, hey, hey, what?s left to hang on to?
Is all that?s left, is all that?s left
Tell me who, who knows who's been having you
I know it's a guy, ah, but you're just not their type
You face it at the top, you flew into my eyes
Your soul it's a pearl, well, it should not be thrown to swine
Yeah, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever, oh, yeah
So the truth, when I look what they've done to you
You're under the knife, well, I'm gonna cut you loose
But you are the kind and we'll make it fit just fine
This tower's a frown, oh, but somehow you make me smile
Yeah, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh God, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
For ever and ever and ever, ever, oh, you keep it cool
The meadows ring, I hear the flowers
And I kissed the dandelion so sour
Yo, let?s numb the pain away to this hour
Yo, let?s numb the pain away, well, it?s ours
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Your the lonely grave?s adorned with power
You now hid the silver in your tower
Yo, let?s numb the pain away to this hour
Yo, let?s numb the pain away, well, it?s ours
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm alone with you so far
it doesn't matter where you are
i want to wash up on your shore
more beauty then i've seen before no secret lover
will ever take the place of you
colour me blue
as you
i want to see you yesterday
the little things in your way
it's in your eyes i realize
the parallels of our disguise
no single other
can understand my point of view
colour me blue
as you
colour me blue
as you
with you now i've come to find
that my love for you was blind
was it the depths of your sea
that pulled me from you
or you from me
i want to see you yesterday
the little things in your way
your happiness and sorrow too
they only come in shades of blue
but no other colour
could give off quite a hue
colour me blue
as you
colour me blue
When daisies pied and the violets blue
And my love spreads across the rivulet by the silver moon
over the wood
Far beyond the endless road, oh...my darling you
Come back to my warm embrace, all the gods bless us too
Red...orange...yellow...green...cyan...purple...
All my colors shine on you
Red...orange...yellow...green...cyan...purple...
All my colors belong to you
My world spreads in illusion, and I'm infatuated with
praising you
My dream blooms like sweet rose, and the fragrance
surrounds you
Far beyond the endless road, oh...my darling you
Come back to my warm embrace, all the gods bless us too
We'll stand this ground forever...then feel the time
