Blue Grass
Shades of Regret: Carolina Blue's Tale of Unseen Realities
Lyrics
I thought the grass was greener over here
I believed the situation or place I was moving to was better.
It looked that way at first
Initially, it seemed that way.
But from this side it appears
From my current perspective, it doesn't look as positive.
That things ain't quite as rosy as I thought they would be
Reality is not as optimistic as I had expected.
Standing here the colors different and it's all to clear to me
Now that I'm here, the true colors are evident, and the reality is clear.
Chorus
< em > Chorus : Introduction to the recurring theme of a challenging situation without the person ("you").
There ain't nothing but blue, grass without you
Everything is gloomy, especially without the presence of the person.
I've got twenty twenty vision from this point of view
I have a clear and complete understanding from my current standpoint.
And all that I can see, is a field of broken dreams
All I see is a landscape of shattered hopes and aspirations.
Where there's nothin but blue, grass without you
Reiteration of the desolate state without the person.
I'd like to beat a path back to your door
Expressing a desire to return to the relationship ("your door").
But I'm not welcome on that side of the fence anymore
I am no longer welcome on the other side; there's a barrier preventing reconciliation.
The paradise I pictured is nowhere to be seen
The perfect scenario I imagined is nowhere in sight.
And this new grass that I'm standing on looks anything but green
The current situation is far from ideal, contrary to my expectations.
Chorus
< em > Chorus : Reiteration of the desolation and emptiness without the person.
Where there's nothin but blue, grass without you
Highlighting the persisting despondency without the person.
