Aviators - Red Lyrics






It feels like greyscale reality
In this world we've built on our own
It's unclear to me
What we are still trying to be
If I could bring back the peace we had
Would the wars come with it too?
The black lines are holding me
The black lines are holding me

So let's stop living in black and white
One streak of color could change a life
We have the shades of blue in tears
And hues of green for passing years
White lies put hatred in our heads
So we will show them love instead
We'll paint the whole world red
We'll paint the whole world red

I can feel time in my veins
Counting down my days
I won't paint them grey with pain
Let's paint our hearts red again
If we can settle the scores between
The good and evil sides
We'll take a step
One more deep breath
I can move past the fear of death
When nothing can hold me anymore

So let's stop living in black and white
One streak of color could change a life
We have the shades of blue in tears
And hues of green for passing years
White lies put hatred in our heads
So we will show them love instead
We'll paint the whole world red
We'll paint the whole world red

We can build a world of a billion shades
We can make a difference and chance our place
In the course of time in the cycle of our lives
We can paint the world with eyes open wide

So let's stop living in black and white
One streak of color could change a life
We have the shades of blue in tears
And hues of green for passing years
White lies put hatred in our heads
So we will show them love instead
We'll paint the whole world red
We'll paint the whole world red

  1. M.... K....

    What a beautifully uplifting song. I hope you do more like these - the world needs more of what you've made here.

  2. S.... A....

    mmm My favorite song when you stoped with MLP songs :D and still listening to every version of it and singalong :D +thx for instrumentals!!!! now i realy can karaoke :D

  3. L.... G....

    😎🤙Nice

  4. M.... C....

    One thing that has always bothered me about this song is that it sounds like he's talking about killing a bunch of people?

  5. R.... S....

    RED but in white. Lol...



    Sorry...........

  6. j.... ....

    I want this to be my first dance song at my wedding.

  7. Z.... ....

    i adore your music

  8. H.... ....

    You can sing about love and all that, but "painting the whole world red" can be interpreted in more ways than one, ya'know?

  9. C.... R....

    If only everyone could understand the meaning of this song. If we all learn to think like this, there might finally be peace on Earth.

  10. T.... ....

    avi.... you are legit one of the only people who can make me cry when i listen to your beautiful music. keep up your awesomeness

  11. S.... S....

    It was a last minute idea to do this, but it's by far my favorite from the album, and up next to the original Reach for my favorite songs ever

  12. R.... ....

    I've decided to let my imagination loose while listening to this.
    Damn if this got a typography it would be grand.

  13. A.... ....

    I can't get enough of your voice! Since hearing your song on vaat channel, I became addicted.

  14. B.... D....

    It's odd
    I prefer the more lofty sounding stringwork of this version then the techno based original.
    But in the original his voice just has so much more feeling and depth.

  15. D.... ....

    Wow, I remember hearing your music when I used to play xbox late unto the night and those were one of the most chill memories I ever had at a time I was down. Seeing you grow and hearing your voice develop through the years makes me teary eyed. This is coming from someone you have effected, for the better, and I hope to see you become even better.

    ~A Dear Viewer

  16. S.... P....

    Love your music man :3

  17. m.... ....

    isn't that the same pic as in The Party Song? ;)

  18. C.... t....

    I lost interest in the song as soon as I heard ""show them love instead" I prefer to be filled with hate and insanity

  19. R.... ....

    Definitely my favorite from Acoustic II!

  20. J.... H....

    I love this one. The original song is also my favorite song from Ghost in the Code. Out of the acoustics from the new album my favorites are this one, Mechanical Instinct, and Apocalypse state of mind. Which ironically aren't posted on YouTube yet. Can't wait til they do.

  21. a.... u....

    Oh,i think,that it a greatest song in our world!Aviators,thank you for your songs!!!

  22. T.... T....

    tHIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THR BEST SONGS IVE EVER HEARD 10/9

  23. D.... D....

    awesome song :3

  24. �.... 1....

    I love songs about communism

  25. C.... ....

    I've been feeling down lately, but these kinds of songs have been helping me feel so much better and calm me down <3
    Keep up the amazing work!

  26. T.... ....

    Also you misspelled "tears" in the lyrics

    And "change", just noticed that too.

  27. T.... ....

    But in all seriousness, I can only think of one other musician who makes good music as consistently as you, but he doesn't nearly make as much as you do. All of the music I've heard from you is just amazing and I'm so glad to hear anything you release. I'm hyped for your next album! (Dystopian Future I think it's called? Idk I can't remember, but either way I'm excited)

  28. T.... ....

    I wonder if Avi had trouble finding the file to upload to YouTube ;)

  29. l.... ....

    Absolutly beautiful !

  30. d.... ....

    Well done on the acoustic version of this song! The only nitpicky thing I found is that the chorus has a very similar tune to the chorus of the Imagine Dragon's song "Demons."

  31. x.... ....

    So great discovering your music again.

  32. B.... ....

    I clicked the video and instantly liked it. Don't need to watch to know it is perfect. As always, Aviators. Keep up good work!

  33. B.... P....

    The original Red isn't one of my favorite songs from Avi, but this one is goin pretty high up on the list

    B.... P....

    Same! I love this version of the song, it's like a new meaning different from the original one

    B.... P....

    Same :D

  34. V.... B....

    original was one of my favourites, but this took it all

  35. V.... V....

    <3 goodness i just love your voice~ its gorgeous ^,^

  36. �.... ....

    Finally, I waited for a new version of my favorite song from aviators. And to be honest, one of the most beloved at all.

  37. K.... ....

    I once thought it impossible for this song to become better.

    I have never been more glad to be wrong.

  38. T.... ....

    Not gonna lie, this did bring a few manly tears to my eyes...

  39. C.... S....

    YES YES YES! Avi, I can't tell you how long I've waited for this. This is my personal favorite of your songs since Heroes (Acoustic, of course). Thank you so much for all you've given us. Your music is an absolute blessing!

  40. y.... ....

    please make a run away acustic ver!

  41. S.... X....

    I could fall asleep to this every night.

  42. A.... M....

    Aawww, I love this song !

  43. S.... ....

    I litterally was on the channel on a whim and saw this. Awsome!

  44. C.... T....

    Red in the good way, not in the way the dark parts of my mind would like. Heal wounds with the red of love ^-^ <3

  45. J.... f....

    Not the rerelease we expected, but the rerelease we never knew we needed.

    J.... f....

    Trust me, there were quite a few people asking for this. It was actually a stream chat that convinced him to do this as his final song for the EP

  46. M.... G....

    Thumbs downed the shit out of this! I can only imagine the singer drives a white van with no windows in the back =\

    M.... G....

    Did you actually have an opinion or did you just want to make a pedophile joke?

    M.... G....

    Sure, in short your tone of voice is creepy. The whole song vocally and instrumentally sounded like a failed early 90's pop song. The mono tone screams of sleep and at any moment where it felt like it was going to build to something it just turns whiny and sounds like the little brother of Rick Astley. Again just my opinion.

    M.... G....

    Can confirm, am Rick Astley's long lost brother

    M.... G....

    Good thing your lame opinion doesn't matter on youtube comment section then =)

  47. E.... F....

    Painting the whole world red sounds extremely violent...

  48. s.... ....

    At this point I have decided that Aviators can simply do no wrong.

  49. W.... ....

    I didn't see this
    but I know is gonna be good

  50. F.... ....

    EDIT:This comment was a joke and since I edited the replys won't make since.

    F.... ....

    Aviators You actually replied.

    F.... ....

    +DRINK SOME BLEACH Wtf are you talking about? Aviators has a new album coming out soon called Dystopian Fiction

    F.... ....

    Liam Cahill This comment was a joke

    F.... ....

    Aviators This comment was a joke

    F.... ....

    Aviators Also could you make a Writing on the wall's acoustic???

  51. C.... C....

    Woah, haven't heard this in YEARS thanks for the nostalgia

  52. L.... L....

    hi aviators I'm really feel that the world is fine when I hear your voice..^^

  53. S.... 4....

    Could you please make an official soundcloud account?

    S.... 4....

    https://soundcloud.com/aviatorscompositions

    S.... 4....

    Henning A thank you

  54. S.... ....

    You never cease to amaze, Aviators. Been following you for a long time and I have to say that your music tends to bring me out of the 'funk' I get placed in from time to time. No matter the genre or severity of the topic, you do amazing work. I hope you keep it up. :)

  55. M.... L....

    Aw yeah! Favorite track on the EP right here! Glad to see it get uploaded.

  56. [.... D....

    Actually, blue is my favourite colour. But nice song!

  57. A.... G....

    You should make a song about MLP's "The Perfect Pear"!

  58. S.... ....

    well damn... it's like all the old songs coming back.
    inb4 more "open your eyes" memes

  59. j.... h....

    so
    Is it your original song?
    I think there's quite a few songs named "red", so I'm a bit confused...

    j.... h....

    Yup, it's original. ^^

  60. T.... ....

    Great Song, as always - but what exactly are 'ltears'? (Description)

  61. S.... C....

    YES! I loved the original!

  62. H.... ....

    I love this version so much! <3

  63. S.... P....

    Red is one of my favourite songs ever. So glad to hear the acoustic version of it.

    How about Ghosts in the Code single getting the acoustic treatment?

  64. h.... m....

    House of Glass next? :3

    h.... m....

    Yup! Unless I finish the next DysFic single first

  65. R.... J....

    Hot damn! What a throwback to Ghosts in the Code! Who else remembers that? I certainly do!

    R.... J....

    Still the best album, IMO, despite Building Better Worlds, Stargazers and A Song That Never Ends being great too.

    Ghosts in the Code just contains the most memorable songs - Red, Set Me Free, Revenge, Ghosts in the Code, Party Song, Reach (All Along) - so many of them!

    R.... J....

    Aaah Party song is so good! Along with Red, Set Me Free, Revenge... wait, it would take too long to mention every Aviators song in existence XD

    R.... J....

    I still haven't actually listened to the song ghosts in the code.
    I've listened to all over Aviators songs so I May give that a listen in a few days

  66. A.... I....

    Not often you hear a song about love or happy things, most things are about the inevitability of death or something equally dreary.

  67. M.... S....

    Genius :3 good as always

  68. L.... ....

    Holly Luna!

    It's finally here :D

    Love it! :P

  69. W.... ....

    It may have been a while since you first uploaded Red but damn, it's one of your best songs to this day and this acoustic version is pretty good as well.

  70. J.... F....

    The original song is pretty good from what I've RED.

  71. R.... ....

    never disappointed

  72. E.... ....

    Paint the world BLUE! (also, ASOM next I hope?)

  73. M.... -....

    Goob job! :) Keep it up!

  74. 2.... ....

    His voice has changed so much since the first.

    2.... ....

  83. m.... m....
