About Green, Yellow and Red (Can’t Figure You Out)
Tormodur is back with yet another single! The Faroese singer and songwriter, who took the Faroese music scene by storm in January of 2022, with his debut single ‘We Both Know’, is releasing his fourth single, called ‘Green, Yellow and Red’ an upbeat Punk-Pop song, about the issue of getting mixed signals and dealing with someone who can’t make up their mind.
Tormodur uses the colours of traffic lights as symbols for the mixed signals, hence the title ‘Green, Yellow and Red’.
Traffic/road signs and signals are a returning theme in the song, as Tormodur on multiple occasions uses them to paint a picture of the situation.
The song is catchy and while listening, you can’t help but start to move with the rhythm.

Green, Yellow and Red
Words: Tormóður P. Djurhuus
Music: Tormóður P. Djurhuus
You reel me in
Just so you can let me go
What’s on your mind?
Sometimes I’m not sure you even know
You’ve been getting the best of me
Cause you’re so indecisive, yeah
I’ve always followed your signs
Like they were the ones you read on the highway
But your actions
Just never seem to match the things you say
And it’s been getting the best of me
Cuase you’re so indecisive
Chorus:
“You can be green, yellow and red all at the same time
One second you hate me, next you wanna be mine
And all your arrows point in different dirctions
What you want is a mystery, to me
I can’t figure you out, I can’t figure
To me, to me, I can’t figure you out”
Verse:
A wise man once said: the shame’s on me, if twice I let you lead me on
And I’ve lost count can’t even, remember when we first danced on the sun
So guess I’ve been getting the best of myself
By being so credulous
Bridge:
But I’ve had enough
I’m done
Now it’s time for me to move on
Can’t even be bothered to
Pick up my phone
So leave, a message after the tone
You can be green, yellow and red all at the same time
One second you hate me, next you wanna be mine
And all your arrows point in different dirctions
What you want is a mystery, to me
I can’t figure you out, I can’t figure
To me, to me, I can’t figure
What you want is a mystery, to me
I can’t figure you out, I can’t figure
To me, to me, I can’t figure you out
