Mood Indigo
Drowning in Indigo Emotions: Unraveling the Blues of Dave Grusin's Mood
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced deep sadness or melancholy.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the lack of prior experience with intense sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
You haven't truly felt the depth of sadness until you've felt "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of sadness extends down to the person's shoes, emphasizing its pervasive nature.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The person expresses a sense of helplessness, merely sitting and sighing in response to the blues.
I always get that mood indigo,
The person consistently experiences this feeling of mood indigo since their partner left.
Since my baby said goodbye.
Since the departure of their loved one, they've been affected by this deep melancholy.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
In the evening, when it's quiet and dim, the loneliness intensifies.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The loneliness reaches a point where the person feels they could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
The individual feels neglected or unimportant, lacking anyone who genuinely cares.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
Describes feeling incredibly sad, beyond the usual depths of sadness.
When I get that mood indigo,
When that specific feeling of deep sadness, mood indigo, strikes.
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of sadness becomes so overwhelming that the person feels they could die.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the lack of prior experience with intense sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Repeating the assertion of not having felt deep sadness before.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
The idea that true deep sadness is only felt when experiencing mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of sadness permeates deeply, affecting the person from head to shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Expressing a resigned acceptance of the blues, merely sitting and sighing in response.
