It's great to see a collaboration between The Martine Rapper, Chris Darlington and King Bullethead. The song is written by Chris Darlington and "Colorblind" stands as a beacon of hope that we can overcome these societal challenges by focusing on our shared humanity.
The overarching theme of "Colorblind" revolves around breaking free from the constraints of racial identity and recognizing that, regardless of our skin color or backgrounds, we are all part of a greater whole. The song encourages listeners to see beyond external appearances, acknowledging that we all "bleed red under the same stones." The lyrics emphasize that the value of a person is not defined by their skin color, but by their actions, character, and the love they give to others.
Lines like "the flag won't judge your skin, it's where you're going, not where you've been" underscore this point, illustrating the importance of looking forward to a more unified future rather than being trapped by past divides. The song calls for a collective effort to "see this world colorblind," a plea to focus on what connects us rather than what separates us.
Furthermore, the song's reference to America as a land built by multiple generations serves as a reminder of the history that has shaped this great nation. The song reminds us that the past, with all its pain and divisions, should not define where we stand now, but rather, it is the way we rise and extend a hand to others that defines the future.
"Colorblind" also brings spirituality into the conversation, with references to Christ and the role of faith in healing societal divides. The song also emphasizes service to others, particularly in the context of the military ("this is for my sisters and brothers overseas") and the idea of coming together in love and sacrifice.
Musically, Chris Darlington's composition is both uplifting and poignant, providing the perfect backdrop for the powerful messages in the lyrics. The accompanying music video, directed and edited by The Marine Rapper, visually supports the song’s message.
