2. “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper 1You with the sad eyes 2 Don't be discouraged 3 Oh I realize 4 It's hard to take courage 5 In a world full of people 6 You can lose sight of it all 7 And the darkness inside you 8 Can make you feel so small 9 But I see your true colors 10 Shining through 11 I see your true colors 12 And that's why I love you 13 So don't be afraid to let them show 14 Your true colors 15 True colors are beautiful, 16 Like a rainbow 17 Show me a smile then, 18 Don't be unhappy, can't remember 19 When I last saw you laughing 20 If this world makes you crazy 21 And you've taken all you can bear 22 You call me up 23 Because you know I'll be there

3. “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper In Lauper’s song, the narrator states that “I see your true colors/Shining through/I see your true colors” (9-11). This leads one to believe that the person being referred to is somehow covering something up about him-/herself. The narrator also feels the need to urge this person to not “be afraid to let them show” (13). This song relates really well to Piggy in Lord of the Flies. There is no doubt that Piggy struggled with letting his true colors come out since the boy made fun of him all of the time. For example, Piggy tried to always adhere to the civility of the conch, but early in the story, Piggy was trying to speak while holding the conch, and Jack scowled and said, “The conch doesn’t count on the mountain…so you shut-up” (Golding 42). These are the types of responses that he received all of the time, so one could assume that it was very hard for Piggy to always show his true colors and be himself without fear of being ridiculed and/or ostracized.
