Opening [INTRO — the final digital beep from “ME”; synth gradually stabilizes, joined by clean guitar and warm live bass] [Natural female vocal—no character voices] I waited for an answer Like a name would set me free Then every voice inside me said— [Soft layered harmony] “They’re all a part of me.” Verse 1 [Bright indie-rock groove begins; clean guitar, warm bass and light drums] Morning found the old portrait Still leaning by the wall Purple bleeding through the corner White paint covering it all I reached out for the brushes Then I let my hand fall free Some pictures don’t need finishing To prove what they used to mean Chorus [Joyful full-band lift; shimmering guitars, live drums and colorful synth accents] These are my true colors Every shade I tried to hide Not a picture made for someone Not a frame they designed I can leave the past unfinished I don’t need the final line These are my true colors— And every one of them is mine
