about

Black and Blue is a song about a couple that has come together after suffering a lot of pain and hardship in their lives. This kind of experience can make a person stronger or it can break them. In either case, two people who are meant to be together can bring peace and belonging, and that's what this song evokes.

The track is a rap-rock song in which Will sings and raps with passion and feeling. The guitars are heavy and it breaks into a hip-hop sound in the middle before combining the two together for the climax.

lyrics

<Chorus>

Black and Blue
Me and you
The colours of our lives
And all that we've been through

<Verse 1>

And baby I'd do anything for you
And I know there's some things I can't undo
It breaks my heart to know you've been so bruised
But you know I carry a few scars to

<Bridge>

Holding on to you I feel brand new
And baby when you look at me I see the stars in you
Black and Blue

<Verse 2>

Colours of the night sky, blue stars, bright eyes
Blacker than the dark matter in between the light I
Revel in the shadow like the Devil in the night time
Right time, I find something like a life line.
And she's fine - like metal, like grime
Hotter than the sunshine magnified
I seen a lot of mad shit in my life
But I never met a girl that blows my mind and that's bona fide
Six years ago my life was in bits, I'd have happily died.
That's the time I found a passion to rhyme
And though I never looked back, I been trying to find
Something that binds together. Aligns forever.
Imagine living life when your mind is severed
I mean I couldn't feel shit, like a bind, I never designed
Life tethered in time, a blind endeavour.
But at the end of it all it's you...
And you changed the game, nothing remains the same
If anybody ever caused you pain
I'd slice their veins, ignite them in a ball of flames.
You know I got you baby, I know you see me when I watch you baby.
You're my girl, you're my queen, you're my lady.
And I keep falling deeper daily...

[Chorus]

<Verse 3>

And I want nothing but to be with you
Day and night, making your dreams come true
What I'm saying is it's you I choose
But it's amazing that you choose me too

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
