Rose Colored Glasses is a pop anthem that celebrates all that a relationship was after it ends, choosing to look at the positives instead of focusing on the negatives.
lyrics
Seems like you’re back upon your own legs
Seems like you’re finding your own voice
I used to hear it every morning
But now we finally have a choice
Some days I wanted peace and quiet
Some days I want a violent song
Some days it’s easier to forget
All of the days we got it wrong
And maybe we’re crazy for letting it end
Maybe we were for letting it start
But it’s been a path to a bigger heart
So give me those rose-colored glasses
I will remember this any way that I wish
Rose-colored glasses
Let me swim out of this separate heaviness
I know I could pick it all apart
And I’m sure that you could too
So give me those rose-colored glasses
When I look back at me and you
Oooh, when I look back at me and you
So many things have turned out different
Than we predicted that they would
You’re looking stronger from a distance
I’m redefining what is good
I’m redefining what is good
I’m redefining what is good
So give me those rose-colored glasses
I will remember this any way that I wish
Rose-colored glasses
Let me swim out of this separate heaviness
I know I could pick it all apart
And I’m sure that you could too
So give me those rose-colored glasses
When I look back at me and you
Oooh, when I look back at me and you
The headlight’s reflection changes perspective
Show me the water but not what’s beneath it
Memories painted with our defenses
All open spaces will somehow find fences
And we would be crazy to start it again
Or maybe we were for falling apart
But it’s been a path to a bigger heart
So give me those rose-colored glasses
I will remember this any way that I wish
Rose-colored glasses
Let me swim out of this separate heaviness
I know I could pick it all apart
And I’m sure that you could too
So give me those rose-colored glasses
When I look back at me and you
Oooh, when I look back at me and you
Ooh, when I look back at me and you

this album is so so so beautiful and i have been listening on repeat, the parallels between "no angels" and "smile" are amazing and every instrumental section is incredible eulalie

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023

You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason i decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it.
I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!!
(also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book) praisedrays
