Mood Indigo
Navigating the Depths of Despair: Mood Indigo Unveiled
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 feeling blue or sad.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness or the blues only come when you've felt the mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of mood indigo extends down to the speaker's shoes, suggesting a deep and pervasive sadness.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker expresses a sense of helplessness and resigns to the blues, represented by the phrase "Go 'long blues."
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo since their lover left.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The sadness is attributed to the departure of the speaker's baby (lover).
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
During the evening, when the surroundings are dim, the loneliness intensifies.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The depth of loneliness is so profound that the speaker could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expressing a sense of abandonment and lack of support from others.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker feels like a helpless fool, extremely sad beyond normal levels of sadness.
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiteration of experiencing the mood indigo, indicating a recurring and persistent sadness.
I could lay me down and die.
The sadness is so overwhelming that the speaker contemplates death.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repetition of the assertion that the listener has not experienced true sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Continued emphasis on the absence of experiencing the blues.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Reiteration that true sadness only comes with the mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Restatement of the pervasive nature of the mood indigo, reaching down to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Expression of resignation and acceptance of the blues with a sigh.
