“colorblind” by Mokita is an attempt to relay the experience of having depression to those who don’t experience the mental disease. Mokita said in a recent interview that “My hope with this song was that it would help people who battle with depression to be open about it, and understand that it’s okay to not feel normal; that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. My other hope was that it would help people that haven’t experienced depression understand a little better what it looks like, and in turn help them love the people in their life who do struggle with it without belittling them or making them feel like victims.”
Mokita talked about the meaning behind the song to Atwood Magazine:
“I wrote ‘Colorblind’ as an attempt to try and describe depression to someone who has never experienced it,” Mokita tells Atwood Magazine. “I started experiencing severe depression when I was 14 years old and had no idea what it was really, until several years after going through it. It took me a long time to have the courage to be open and transparent about my battle with depression and anxiety, and songwriting has become one of the main ways that I’m able to process and even combat the sometimes crippling feelings that stem from it.”
