A song about being emotional in an unemotional world.

The message I’m trying to convey with this song is that it can be difficult to be emotional without “ruining” others perception of you, that it’s not considered “normal”, or maybe you were taught not to express emotions because it’s too messy. You can’t be emotional in a “watercolor world” because the painting, the image, gets ruined. There’s an aspect about suppressing emotions to the point that there’s no choice but for everything to be ruined. Aka it’s not healthy to not express emotions. The “paint” itself could have been something you put on yourself, but more often than not, it was put on us by other people or “societal norms.”

Watercolor World

Based on the myth or legend where two people are connected by a red string and destined to meet.

A special thank you goes to the rain that joined me 

Lyrics: 
Red String of Fate
tell me what you know
Red String of Fate
won’t you guide me home

I just want to feel
like I know someone
And I just want to know
what’s good enough

Cause when 
I look up at the moon
All I want to see is you
I’m tired of being split
in two
When everything leads
back to you
So Red String of Fate
Show me the way

Red String of Fate
what does it take
To unravel all
the universe creates

How time moves
is all up to you
Do you ever think
about me too

Cause when 
I look up at the moon
All I want to see is you
I’m tired of being split
in two
When everything leads
back to you
So Red String of Fate
Show me the way

If I can’t feel it
how do I know that
it’s there
wrapped around my
finger like a prayer
Devotion of the 
highest order
A plan I couldn’t 
dare to change
But would I want to
anyway

Red String of Fate
Red String of Fate
Red String of Fate

Cause when 
I look up at the moon
All I want to see is you
I’m tired of being split
in two
When everything leads
back to you
So Red String of Fate
Show me the way

I look for you
in everything I do
