Color Blind (feat. Lil Xan)

Diplo's 'Color Blind' featuring Lil Xan is a track that delves into the emotional numbness and disconnection that can arise from personal struggles and success. The phrase 'color blind' metaphorically represents a state of being where emotions are not felt vividly, akin to how color blindness prevents one from seeing colors distinctly. The repetition of 'I've been so color blind' emphasizes the artist's emotional detachment and the sense of being overwhelmed by life's challenges.

The lyrics touch on themes of success and the changes it brings, as well as the pursuit of material wealth, symbolized by 'trips to the mall' and the desire for 'diamond rings.' Despite achieving success, which is suggested by the line 'Now I'm the one gettin' momma bread,' there's an underlying sense of emptiness and a struggle with inner demons, hinted at with 'all these triple six.' The song suggests that external success doesn't necessarily equate to internal happiness, and that the artist is grappling with feelings of being misunderstood and unfulfilled.

The song also explores the complexities of relationships and communication, as seen in the lines about unsent texts and feeling uncared for. This lack of connection contributes to the overall theme of color blindness, where emotional clarity is absent. The casual mention of favorite drinks and past nicknames ('They used to call me Diego') adds a personal touch to the song, grounding it in the artist's reality and past experiences, while also highlighting the contrast between who the artist was and who they have become.
