X & Hell - Shades Off lyrics

I took the shades off The world looked oh-so-bright The world looked oh-so-right It seemed oh-so-wrong Like there for so, so long I changed myself for so long Cos now I see the Cos now I see the I see the [Chorus with backing vocals] I see the beauty when the shades come off The brights look brighter Sometimes when brights look brighter It makes the darks look darker When some of the blues look bluer And some of the greens look red I gotta free my head, my head, my head [Verse] It had to be cooler than cool The harder to find my heart and my mind Were caught up in trying to be a bosser And then nobody heard of a calling it mine And I could spend all of my time Ignoring the shiny ball in the sky Keeping my colour and all in the line Sticking so deep it distorted my mind It seemed to get sorted with time Proceeded to walk in the line Discovered the things I was into Before I got caught up and all but went blind A whole different world could be mine The planets in orbit defined The pigeon is out of it's hole So I'm calling it huh! I'm calling it mine I took the shades off The world looked oh-so-bright The world looked oh-so-right It seemed oh-so-wrong Like there for so, so long I changed myself for so long Cos now I see the Cos now I see the I see the [Chorus with backing vocals] I see the beauty when the shades come off The brights look brighter Sometimes when brights look brighter It makes the darks look darker When some of the blues look bluer And some of the greens look red I gotta free my head, my head, my head My head, my head My head, my head My head, my head Ma-ha-ee-ah My head, my head My head, my head My head, my head Ma-ha-ee-ah [Verse] I had my walkman on But what could I hear with my head in my a** I just keep walking on like One of the square they get in the trash Get in the cla** and learn the rules Now we was a bunch of discerning fools There's only so much you can learn in schools Of thought and taught the rights and wrongs Of writing songs and keeping it real But keep it real, I'm eating a meal And beating up (?), I beat that up (?) And I don't need nothing to sweeten the deal And speaking of sk** I got it (for days?) Speaking it I'll when I drop it, (it's?) And speaking of shades I got prepared To drop my pair and cop the glare (I got prepared to cop the glare) [Instrumental break - 8 bars] I had my shades on The world's got better, yeah Yeah, it's no or no There's no buts about it You're (better?) than me, I doubt it You (liking the nine?) about it It's bigger than that, I doubt it [Chorus with backing vocals] I see the beauty when the shades come off The brights look brighter Sometimes when brights look brighter It makes the darks look darker When some of the blues look bluer And some of the greens look red I gotta free my head, my head, my head [Instrumental coda - 20 bars]
