Monochrome Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say it again the way you did back then
And I'll pretend that I'm not set alight by cadence
Oh, we head back home to overdose on black coffee
Drinking in monochrome and spit out blasphemy
[Pre-chorus]
I wanna say it to you but I was unsure
I've heard this breathing before, this pitching, preening carnivore
(Carne, carne, carnivore)
Constantly praying to you, holding thirty silver
Hoping you can read between these lines
Proselytised, just like the way that we always used to
[Chorus]
We talk, we talk a superstition
And it's one that I'm not sure enough
I think thеre's only darkness when you
Diе, die, die, die, die (Grant me one respite)
I live, I live in split-decisions
When I can't relegate my mind
I'll pray to anything that gets me
By, by, by, by, by (The art of dying twice)
[Verse 2]
We all fake fine, dishonest all the way
I see your face, hello again, old neural pathways
Oh, we'll act it out to charge the crowd attendance fees
We'll sell the rights then we'll donate the proceeds
[Pre-chorus]
I wouldn't say it to you if I was unsure
Feels like we've been here before, this wretched indoor carnival
(Carni, carni, carnival)
The last time I held my breath, it was at yours
Wish that I could be like rust or broken glass
At least they do, while I just sit somewhere in the middle
[Chorus]
We talk, we talk a superstition
And it's one that I'm not sure enough
I think there's only darkness when you
Die, die, die, die, die (Grant me one respite)
I live, I live in split-decisions
When I can't relegate my mind
I'll pray to anything that gets me
By, by, by
[Outro]
If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you? (Hold on, hold on)
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you? (We've got, we've got so much more to give)
If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you? (Hold on, hold on)
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you? (We've got, we've got so much more to give)
If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you? (Hold on, hold on)
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you? (We've got, we've got so much more to give)
If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you? (Hold on, hold on)
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you? (We've got, we've got so much more to give)

Monochrome Song Review: Why Fans Love It
There’s something quietly magnetic about "Monochrome" — that taut mix of vulnerability and grit — and fans are already singing along in packed venues, on social threads, and in bedroom listening sessions. Here’s why this track (from "One Simple Trick", released October 3, 2025 via Anvil Cat Records & Revolution Records) is striking a chord.
1. Mood over spectacle
Unlike bombastic radio-rock, "Monochrome" leans into tension. The instrumentation is lean but emotionally loaded — clean guitar lines, well-placed drum hits, vocal inflections that sway between control and fracture. Fans often talk about the contrast: how it feels like living in a black-and-white film, where shadows and light carry more weight than color. On TikTok you’ll see captions like, “That moment when your world turns "Monochrome",” with clips of dusk, city silhouettes, and moody aesthetic filters. The minimalism gives listeners space to project their own emotional cadence into the gaps.
2. Intimacy at scale
At the heart of "Monochrome" is the voice, and it’s a vulnerable one. Rather than hiding behind layers, the vocals are allowed to breathe, to crack, to land. That choice invites listeners in. One fan on Reddit put it well:
> “It’s like he’s whispering your hardest thought back to you.”
On X (formerly Twitter), fans are already tagging posts with #MonochromeMood, #LovejoyMonochrome, and #MonochromeVibes. The conversation is intimate but amplified — shared experiences, wounds, and reflections. One clip from a TikTok user shows them playing "Monochrome" while staring at rain-stained windows — the comment thread is full of empathy, “same,” “this is me,” “on loop.”
3. Already seeping into live sets and parties
Though the song is fresh, glimpses of "Monochrome" are appearing on set lists. In small club shows during album warm-up tours, fans report hearing it as a late-night encore insert. The moment the first chords hit, you can feel the room lean in. At after-hours playlists, DJs are slipping the track in near-curfew hours — when energy softens and people want something deeper than “banger mode.” A few partygoers over on X have posted short video clips: dim lighting, silhouettes in motion, "Monochrome" humming from speakers. One caption read, “the song shut the party for a minute — we all just paused.”
4. The metrics (what we know so far)
Because "Monochrome" is so new, full streaming and chart data is still emerging. I couldn’t reliably confirm a Spotify total yet. On YouTube, I found an upload labelled “Lovejoy – Monochrome (Official Audio)” showing a modest view count (in the low thousands) — likely early days. Meanwhile, the band’s broader catalog is strong: Lovejoy’s total Spotify streams are in the billions across all tracks, and their listener base is steadily growing.
In press interviews preceding the album release, Lovejoy have hinted at "Monochrome" being a “sonic hinge,” a song meant to pivot emotional tones across the album. In one chat they mentioned how they avoided overproduction, trusting space and restraint over density.
5. A shared emotional moment
What makes "Monochrome" feel like a movement is that fans don’t just hear it — they feel it together. On TikTok duets, people share screens of rain, of empty rooms, of journal pages, all timed to key vocal lines. On Reddit threads, some fans break down individual lines, wrestling with imagery of contrast, loss, longing. On X, conversations compare "Monochrome" to past anthems by the band, calling it their “most cinematic” song yet.
The aesthetic of monochrome — absence of color, emphasis on tone, shadow, contrast — becomes metaphorical. In a time when music often chases maximalism, "Monochrome" dares to pull back. It’s anti-saturation. It’s focus. And in doing so, it becomes a mirror for the listener’s inner greyscale.
Why listeners are replaying it
Because "Monochrome" doesn’t just tell you how to feel — it hands you the pen. It holds your space when your mood is in flux. It’s emotionally weighty but not overstuffed, haunting but not hollow. In a playlist era of constant stimulus, it’s rare to find a song that wants you to slow down, to hear nuance, to be heard. That tension — between stillness and intensity — is exactly why people will be pressing repeat.
