Mood Indigo
Embracing the Blues: Exploring the Depths of Mood Indigo
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced sadness or melancholy.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of experiencing sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness, represented by "mood indigo," is introduced as a profound and deep emotional state.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotional impact of "mood indigo" is emphasized, affecting the speaker down to their shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker passively observes their own sadness, expressing a resigned acceptance of the blues.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences "mood indigo" since their romantic partner parted ways with them.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The persistent feeling of sadness is linked to the departure of the speaker's loved one.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
In the evening, when surroundings are dim, the speaker feels intense loneliness.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The speaker is so lonely that the possibility of crying becomes a reality.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
The speaker feels abandoned, expressing a lack of care from others.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker describes themselves as a profoundly sad and unfortunate person.
When I get that mood indigo,
The recurrence of experiencing "mood indigo" is highlighted.
I could lay me down and die.
The emotional weight becomes so overwhelming that the speaker contemplates the idea of death.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the idea that the listener has never felt profound sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Continuation of emphasizing the absence of experiencing deep sorrow.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
The concept of "mood indigo" as a source of intense sadness is reiterated.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotional impact of "mood indigo" is reiterated, affecting the speaker down to their shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Repetition of the resigned acceptance of the blues and the passive observation of one's own sadness.
