Paranoia Purple
Tell me
Will you leave me lonely
On and on and on I know you told me
The most important reason why
You’ll color in as many lines as I need you
Tell me
When we have no money
And the siren starts their callin’
You say
Slow down, slow down, come on, slow down
But this paranoia purple turns to green
And nothing is as simple as it seems
What’s happening to me?
Say now
When my life is over
Will you find somebody good enough to hold you
Someone like my Abigail
To tell you all is good and well like me now
Say now
I feel my colors show how
I think it’s almost time for me to go now
Go now go now
This paranoia purple turns to grey
And all that’s good and well
It melts away
Until we meet again...

This song hurts beautifully. Yebba’s mother took her own life just a few years ago. I can feel Yebba’s pain throughout her record, but it especially resonates here. People who commit suicide are victims of themselves- but that doesn’t mean they didn’t love hard. They just lost a battle with life. Eternity is a long time, and this pain is only a short blip. We will all be reunited with ones we have lost- some day. Until then, we cAn deal with pain our own way. Yebba’s is beautiful and transcendent.
This song is so painful. I just lost ny mother 2 days ago.
@@rachelleann2011 how are you doing now
I can't express enough how beautifully haunting this song is. The constant switches between major and minor chords evoke this hollow nebulousness. The lyrical line and the music create this hazy sense of detachment and dulled anxiety. You can hear her mother worrying about how things will be after she's gone, but every time she elongates a note with the promise of resolution, it's never given - lyrically and melodically. The paranoia purple never really leaves. It fades to green once, which isn't exactly soothing, but rather uncomfortable. And then the color fades into gray, losing color entirely - but the singer seems to view this as a solution. The lyrical line dissolves entirely into multi-layered voices and the semblance of one being is lost. She is around but she is not. Anyone who has considered this dark ending knows how this feels; this narrowing of perception where oblivion is romanticized, a solemn resignation only they'd understand. Their loved ones are left behind with only the abstract echo of their memory. I can't imagine how hard it was for Yebba to try and write this, but thank you for peering into the dark. Thank you for writing and singing this out. Sharing your darkness helps me better understand my own.
Wow, this is a great comment. Thanks for pointing so many details out
this was absolutely beautifully written. 💚
WONDERFULLY PUT NUFF SAID
don't know how you were able to put what I feel when I hear this song into such accurate words
This song is just…never heard anything like it.
Exactly , can feel her pain thro the song
❤
This song destroyed me.
Completely. Those who have been since she was Abbey understand the depth of this song and what it means to her. We love you Abigail!
I literally can’t get through it….
@@terrancebond6157 me neither. this is second time im listening to it after the album came out and still i have to pause to catch my breath
This is transcendent, I haven’t heard anything like this
That’s the exact word I keep coming up with for this album ❤️
Oh my goodness this song is so wonderful. Rich, full of depth and complexity. The layering is so good. The whole album feels like being in a trance. Feels like floating and falling. Thank you for putting your work out into the world Yebba. Thank you for your vulnerability and care you put into your work. Lots of love to you and everyone involved.
perfectly worded
The verse from her mom’s perspective and the voicemail really killed me. I seriously sobbed for an hour. Her crying “still can’t figure it out. It’s been two years mom, I still can’t figure it out.”
“Say now, when my life is over,
Will you find somebody good enough to hold you?
Someone like my Abigail?
To tell you all is good and well like me now
Say now
I feel my colors show how
I think it's almost time for me to go now
Go now
Go now”
Sobbing right along with you.
@@terrancebond6157 Where are you people in day-to-day life??? I am always sobbing over beautiful music and people just dont seem to get it?
@@marysusansusan Right?! My connection to music has always been emotional. Get chills and/or tear up on the regular. Ugly cries are aren’t as frequent, but they happen.
@@terrancebond6157 Absolutely! Music is probably my biggest passion and why I am still here today. It has always been an extremely spiritual and moving thing for me
@@marysusansusan people don’t seem to get it for me either. it’s actually becoming pretty frustrating which is leading me to believe that i need to surround myself with people who DO get it.
I have never heard a song like this before in my life. The emotion, it's almost too much. It's like you don't just hear it, you feel it with your very soul. No adjectives do it justice
On her way to being one of the GREATEST vocalists to ever exist!!
Amen!
Amen. Ameen. and Ashé.
I have to agree
Okay, let’s no exaggerate. Lol but yes, she has a great voice!
I’ve been listening to this since she dropped it. By the 5th time I just started to cry because I realized what was going on in the song. I cried for Yebba and her father but especially her mother. How hard it is to suffer with mental health but still love and care for your loved ones. And accepting that you don’t want to live anymore. And how that whole process of realization is hard. The mind is wild. All external things can be going well but it ( if imbalanced) can make you feeling like your living in hell. To the point that life doesn’t feel livable.and I’m sorry it made her mother go through such a dark time. And sweet Yebba enduring all that. But the way She describes it from all the perspectives is so beautiful and even in the music you can hear her mother slipping away as she transitions and the overwhelming feeling of grief and lost Yebba experiences. This is so sad.
😢❤️
What a perfect interpretation 😢💖
I have been in those very shoes of feeling the dark of not being able to continue on. I have nearly killed myself twice and the only reason I didn't was the vision of my children finding me. I am in a better place now, but it was one of the most difficult times in my life to get up and do what I had to do and not wanting to live any more. I can only thank God and my true friends for helping me through it.
Literally at work rn and the meaning finally hit me now I'm trying to hold in tears
@@AFWif312 its the vision that really keeps us going. The hole inside their little hearts i will not be responsible for. I refuse. So I get up. And fight. And fight to stay because the love I feel with them is far more special than the darkness in my bones. May we all find peace.
I’ve never heard such a beautiful song in my life. It’s art in song. It’s the words, the production, the vocals, the raw emotion. I’m so thankful to have this song.
This album came out a week before my grandma passed away. She suffered from various mental illnesses including paranoid schizophrenia. I heard this song and wept hard. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song like this in my life. Thank you, Abbey for releasing such a vulnerable and gut wrenching song.
💜🙏🏽
This is the kind of song that infiltrates your body & slowly weaves its way through every cell, until silent tears are running down your cheeks & you're feeling all the feels. When the final notes play & you finally release the breath you didn't know you were holding, you realize you've been taken on a journey through someone's soul & all you can feel is blessed & grateful. Thank you for this gorgeous album & for sharing yourself & your gifts with us, Abbey ❤
Pure and complex. No wonder she wrote and produced this all by herself. Who would wanna touch this?
It took five years to write, and it may just take me about that long to digest it. 😭
I’m listening to it for the third time now and Paranoia Purple has sent me into a tailspin. Those are some of the most honest, most profound lyrics I’ve ever heard. Yebba is a true gift.
This album is just truly the most special piece of music that has come out in a while.
The chord progression at 3:08 is absolutely amazing. The raw emotion in this song combined with the slight phrases like “it’s been two years mom, I still can’t figure it out”. This is genuinely the most amazing song I’ve listened to. Thank you so much abbey.
It’s literally impossible to listen to this without crying
This is the first time I have ever written these words. I have wanted to CTB for 2 years now because of so many tragic things that have happened to me in the past and recently. I even went as far a getting the tools I needed to die with dignity. It was because of my MOTHER and the support of my best friend that I have changed my mind and listening to this again after a year it finally hit home. The part that crushed me was her mother's voicemail at the end as I too was going to leave audio recording. I realize I have been selfish and I thank you Yebba for singing this beautiful tribute to your mom and sharing your story with us. God Bless, 988.
I'm just back to read all your lovely comments and enjoy the fact that people love this as much as I do. Hope everyone is enjoying the album.
this song is like an out of body experience
Yebba & H.E.R collab is needed 🔥
This song is so deep and raw! I feel every word although my story is different from hers! I've been crying for 2 days listening to this record my heart can't take it anymore! We're witnessing greatness here! Absolutely monumental Yebba 😭😭😭💚
Your tone 😭 these haunting jumps & runs 😭💙
Frm 3:00 onwards 😩😩…Those head voice and ad libs etc …I can’t
Saved the best for last. Had me crying on the train to work. Love you Yebba.
I can’t wait for her to get the recognition she deserves
I don’t even know what to say. Everything about this song always moved me, but just today i saw someone say it’s from her mom’s perspective.
Now i’m really crying.
yebba, you are so brave and this is so painful. i am astonished at how tenderly you show the whole spectrum of feelings your mom might have felt. i hear a sliver of hope from her in this rendition, and that’s maybe the hardest part. so many things are crumbling, but maybe the void will be kind 💔
thank you. i’m sorry. thank you.
wishing you all the healing in the world.
I love the haunting quality this has. Like the feelings are just stuck over you. Ugh. It’s beautiful.
My soul is just different after listening to this. I’ve really never heard anything like it. So deep.
I've istened to this song EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past two years. No words can quantify how influential it has been for me. A million thanks for producing this genie that has shaped my adult life
Yebba is my full time therapist!!🙏🏽❤
This song just hurt my soul. Yebba is a national treasure. So proud to be a fan today.
I have NEVER heard anything like this in my life and am so beyond grateful for Yebba's artistry. This song is so beautifully tragic and haunting and it's grip will not let me go.
I cannot handle how euphoric your records are
Tell me, will you leave me lonely?
On and on and on, I know you told me
The most important reason why
You'll color in as many lines as I need you
Tell me, when we have no money
And the sirens start their calling, you say
Slow down, slow down
Come on, slow down
[Chorus]
And this paranoia purple turns to green
And nothing is as simple as it seems
What's happening to me?
[Verse 2]
Say now, when my life is over
Will you find somebody good enough to hold ya?
Someone like my Abigail
To tell you all is good and well like me now
Say now, I feel my color show how
I think it's almost time for me to go now
Go now, go now
[Chorus]
But this paranoia purple turns to gray
And all that's good and well, it melts away
Until we meet again
[Bridge]
Woah, ah-ah-ah
How could I forgеt you?
I still can't figure it out
It's two years, mom
I still can't figure it out
Woo, ooh
Oh, how could I forgеt about you now? (How could I forget about you now?)
Tell me, how could I forget about you now? (How could I forget about you now?)
Now, now
Now
How could I, yeah, for-forget about you?
I still can't figure you out
Into the Dawn
[Outro: Dawn]
Hope you're having fun, and I hope you're singing away
You're my little joy, you're my little star
I love you, bye
Love, Mama
Yebba's voice makes me feel like this world is perfect and at complete peace.
I stg, I burst into tears every time I hear that voice message at the end. It kills me but it's still so touching a beautiful at the same time.
John M is not just a great artist but also my main source of new and amazing music, his recommendations took me here and I am so glad I found this musical gem, Yebba: thanks for releasing this beautiful piece of art. Share the word and share love, JM.
