“i know you don’t really mean to act the way you do. i know your true colors are beautiful.”
someones true persona, normally hidden underneath “fakeness”
now that b-tch shows her true colors
a brilliant cover of cyndi lauper’s 1986 song (written by billy steinberg and tom kelly) by the cast of glee, an intelligent musical comedy.

the original was amazing, but in the context of the ‘hairography’ episode, the cover was extraordinarily meaningful. tina had her first real solo with this number, and the lyrics relate well with her past and present experiences.
cathy: i want to be like tina when i grow up.
tom: what have a stutter hahaha?!
cathy: no, to be comfortable with who i really am, to show my true colors, to find ways to connect with those i cherish.
tom: wow, you’re beautiful! like a rainbow.
the way someone really is which they hide due to social rules, or out of fear of loss or retribution.
i though that guy was cool, but when i got in an argument with him he started yelling and his true colors came out.
showing who/what you really are.

this was coined in 1547, right after the discovery of the lightbulb and external-combustion engine.

(if you were from around here, you’d know i was lying to your face about that second bit…)
yo g, show yo’ true colors!
