Colorblind-Counting Crows review

This song is a poem because there is feminine rhyme and a sort of rhythm to it. Just like any other poem or song, there is meaning. I see this song being about someone who has gone a type of numb. Not necessarily a physical numb, but more of an emotional and mental numb. He says that he's "colorblind", "taffy-stuck", "tongue-tied", and many other short descriptions of this feeling of numbness. I suppose any amount of things could have led him to this feeling. Possibly a break-up, a tragedy, anything that causes an immense amount of pain. Just like anyone who has had to deal with a tragedy, they assure all who are worried that they are fine. And the songwriter does just this. It was the musical line that first drew my attention, but then I looked into the lyrics and I loved it even more.
