Moods of 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 previous experiences of sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is described as "mood indigo," suggesting a deep and emotional state.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotion of "mood indigo" extends down to the speaker's shoes, emphasizing its profound impact.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker is sitting idly, expressing resignation and acceptance of the "blues."
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo after a personal loss.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The sadness is linked to the departure of the speaker's significant other.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
During the evening, when the surroundings are quiet, the loneliness intensifies.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The speaker feels profoundly alone, to the point of potential tears.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expressing a lack of emotional support or understanding from others.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker considers themselves a deeply sorrowful individual.
When I get that mood indigo,
A repetition of the recurring "mood indigo" feeling, emphasizing its persistence.
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of the sadness is so overwhelming that the speaker contemplates death.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the absence of previous experiences of sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Continued emphasis on the lack of prior experience with deep sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Recurrence of the theme that true sadness is only known through "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Repetition of the emotional impact extending down to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
While facing the blues, the speaker resigns to the emotion, echoing a sense of acceptance.
