Today was an interesting day. I learned that I am capable of both tasting colors and feeling them by touch. For instance my keyboard feels gray, the floor feels black, door handles are blue. But if the emotion is strong enough tied to the color I can also taste them.
Green tastes like oranges to me, it is a very mild yet refreshing taste. One of those that makes its presence immediately known to you, like it has never left you. It has always been, and will always be.
The color red has a lot of different strengths and qualities for me as I have experience this color in-depth for many years. As I had stated before, Red for me signifies sadness in its darker form, and anxiety in its lighter form. Although there is also a sense of gray associated with it for me, a sense of longing sadness. Something that I am missing, on the hunt, discovering and feeling all wrapped into one.
This is the kind of experience I have had with this color lately in particular.
A great example of a Red song for me, is:
As this song begins, I feel a mountain of red before me, something that I must climb in order to see the truth at the peak. As I walk up this mountain, the path winds left and right, the obstacles I see before are of myself. Things in my past, things in my future, things I want to overcome. It is a hard journey up the incline, but I carry on.
The ground is very gray, the mountain is red, and the sky is orange. The ground moves under me as I walk, like I am on an escalator in slow motion, the sky glows with a tinge of orange similar to that of a torch at night, resonating across the area. It glows the ground as I make it further up this mountain. By the end of the song, I have reached the peak and all that is before me is yet another red mountain, higher than the last. I set foot in that direction, ready to scale once again.
Purple is the peak of warmth and closeness for me, it is reflected in my actions and thoughts deeply.
A great example of a Purple track is a track by Horrowshow - New Normal, you can hear this on Spotify. I was going to link the youtube video but I could not see it listed there.

On time but the rent’s late
Put it off till the next day
Scraping by off of spare change
But one day I’ma get straight
Days turn into decades
Never thought 'bout the end game
Gotta sleep where ya bed’s made
So one day I’ma get straight
And maybe there’ll be set backs and broken dams, days when things don’t go to plan
Tell me what’s your coping strategy?
‘Cause baby don’t forget there’s no going back, make the most of what we have
Through the triumph and the tragedy
We pray for better days and learn while we wait
They may never come, nothing’s guaranteed
We do it anyway, accepting the fate
Meant for us is the one it has to be
Still one by one we come from nothing, tryna make it something
Knowing that we can’t take that something when we turn to nothing
Somehow we know it ain’t for nothing, now ain’t that something?
End of it all I just learned one thing and it goes a little something like
When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
I just hope I can say I gave my all
When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
And hope I gave my all
On time but the rent’s late
Put it off ‘til the next day
Next day came and went again
But one day I’ma get straight
Yeah, yeah
Giving thanks for my best days
Looking forward to the next phase
Last move always check mate
So one day, I’ma get straight
And on that day
You’ll find me watching it unfold
Tryna find my way through the world, push boundaries, go beyond my limits
‘Cause I know it don’t revolve around me
It’s more that I evolve within it
And I know you know it too, though sometimes you can’t quite put a finger on it
It’s an understanding shared between us, there’s no need to linger on it
These past couple years have been crazy
One minute I’m all smiles, up on stage taking a bow
The next I’m alone on a street corner
Tears streaming down my face while I’m breaking down
Taught me that this life is pleasure and pain at the end of the day
And despite what we might tell ourselves it’s out of our control
All we can do is try and stay afloat and pay the rent
So if you’re out there fighting battles in your head
Waking up to mornings when it’s a struggle to make it out of bed
Let this be your reminder, there’ll be better days ahead
I dedicate this album to you, you know who you are
For the journeys still before us and the stories behind your scars
Be brave, be strong
Persist, persevere, believe
That’s all any of us can do
Oh – and enjoy!
Find the joy that you deserve inside your every day
The delicious meal you just ate
The friend who made you laugh or asked you how you are
The sun on your face
The birds chirping in the trees around you
The sights, the sounds, the ups, the downs, all of it
‘cause it’s cliché as fuck, but it’s true
You never know when it might happen to you
The New Normal
When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
I just hope I can say I gave my all
When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
I just hope I can say I gave my all
I just hope that I gave it my all
