Paint It Blue
Fixin' to Paint It Blue: A Rebel's Journey Through Life
Lyrics
They say there's a price on my head
Perceived threat with a bounty on the speaker's life.
And that I'm better off dead
Expresses the idea that death might be a better option.
But that sheriff better keep this in mind
Cautioning the sheriff about the challenge of apprehending the speaker.
I'll sure be hard to find
Emphasizes the speaker's elusive nature.
I give up so much of me
Acknowledging personal sacrifices, possibly in relationships or life choices.
I should probably be charging a fee
Suggests undervaluation of personal worth, contemplating charging a fee for self-worth.
You say that you don't like me and I'm wrong
Responding to criticism, anticipating that the absence of the speaker will be appreciated.
I bet you're gonna love the way I'm gone
Expectation that the speaker's absence will be regretted or missed.
I ain't too concerned with my name
Indifference towards reputation or public image.
Cuz I know it won't be on my grave
Acknowledging the transient nature of fame and its absence in the afterlife.
But I ain't gonna hang my head down and cry
Resilience in the face of adversity; avoiding self-pity.
Cuz I know where I'm going when I die
Confident assurance about the afterlife and its positive outcome.
The bright lights shinin' in this city
City lights evoke memories, possibly associated with a past relationship.
Remind me of the time when she was with me
Nostalgia for a time when someone significant was present.
It's the same old feeling nothin' new
Expressing a sense of monotony or repetition in life experiences.
So I'm Fixin' To Paint It Blue
Declaration of intent to bring change, symbolized by painting it blue.
I might be down in Texas after awhile
Mention of potential locations (Texas, Louisiana) where change might occur.
Or Louisiana in style
Stylish reference to the speaker's potential relocation.
But I'll tell you what I'm really gonna do
Reiterating the intention to bring about a significant change.
I'm fixin' to paint it blue
Reaffirming the determination to transform and 'paint it blue.'
And I'm fixin' to paint it blue
Repetition emphasizing the commitment to the transformative act.
Yes I'm fixin' to paint it blue
Reiteration of the determination to 'paint it blue.'
You know I'm fixin' to paint it blue
Confirmation of the commitment to the transformative act.
Lord I'm fixin' to paint it blue
Concluding affirmation of the intent to 'paint it blue.'
