That is ok and that is why I asked. However, it makes it hard to understand what you are saying. You say there is beauty in the many shades of grey, but the words of the song don’t support that premise

How did it ever occur to you that the world could be black and white?

I am having trouble with the grammar. Is it intentional to use vague or incorrect grammar? For instance to understand your sentence it should read, “But I’d be fine if the world were black and white.” Anyway, how do you know you’d be fine in that kind of world? Perhaps it would be unbearably dull.

One thing that I appreciate about writing poetry is that grammar can sometimes be - and is oftentimes - ignored. I think it's really how the writer wants to covey their message, and it's up to the reader or listener to make their own conclusion.

When I write my songs, I don't think about grammar, I think about what flows best to me. These words are coming from my heart and my mind, and so my goal is never to restructure the song to make sense grammatically.

I also have no clue if I would be fine in a world of black and white. As it's said, the grass is always greener on the other side....This song is written more because of curiosity and a discomfort with how things are.
