The One I Love
Whispers of Love and Tears: Blonde Redhead's Melancholic Symphony
Lyrics
Love me black and blue,
Expressing a desire for love despite potential hardships ("black and blue").
You got no care as mocking birds
Describing someone indifferent or unconcerned, akin to mocking birds that mimic without emotion.
Stares me stares at you
Feeling observed or judged by others ("stares me stares at you").
I don't know how to stay afloat
Struggling to navigate challenges and uncertainties ("don't know how to stay afloat").
Now you want to play
Expressing surprise or confusion about a sudden interest in playing or engaging.
Why I never heard the world
Questioning why the speaker has never encountered a particular aspect of the world.
I can be your moonlight
Offering to be a source of brightness or support for someone ("moonlight").
I'm not in my dress
Not adhering to societal expectations or norms ("not in my dress").
She does nothing all day
Repetition of lines 10 to 45 emphasizes a recurring theme of someone spending their days in sadness, yearning for play and reaching for the sky, yet remaining inactive.
But sit down and cry
-She touches the sky
-And wishes to play
-She does nothing all day
-But sit down and cry
-She touches the sky
-And wishes to play
-She does nothing all day
-But sit down and cry
-She touches the sky
-And wishes to play
-She does nothing all day
-But sit down and cry
-Sit down and cry
-Love me black and blue,
-You got no care as mocking birds
-I can be your moonlight
-I'm not in my dress
-She does nothing all day
-But sit down and cry
-She touches the sky
-And wishes to play
-She does nothing all day
-But sit down and cry
-She touches the sky
-And wishes to play
-She does nothing all day
-But sit down and cry
-She touches the sky
-And wishes to play
-She does nothing all day
-But sit down and cry
-Sit down and cry
