Interesting facts and trivia about A Boy Brushed Red Living In Black And White. By Songfacts®.

UnderOath guitarist Timothy McTague said of this song: "It's a fictional/non fictional story of 2 people engaging in sexual activity given the knowledge that that's not what they should be doing at the time. It's basically 2 Christian or 2 people in general who have a certain set of morals they have set for themselves. And are at the point of breaking those and all the things that go through your head and the decisions you make when you decide to turn your back on what you've set for yourselves and go through with it. As the song progresses its kind of like the repercussions of it as well. If you read the lyrics it's like boy, and then the conscience that is speaking to him. And its kind of a war in himself to figure out what's right and he has some repercussions that end up pretty badly."

In an interview on the BadChristian Podcast in 2018, Aaron and Tim discussed how the second verse was originally written as "I always knew you were such a sucker for that whore." However, the word "whore" was cut under the suggestion of Tooth and Nail A&R man Chad Johnson, who felt that the word would do destruction to the culture. The band agreed at the time that the word was to risky to use, leaving the song with the grammatically incorrect line.
