Mood Indigo
Emotional Depths Unveiled: Mood Indigo's Heartfelt Lament
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 experiencing deep sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is not truly felt until one has experienced the mood of indigo, a deep blue color often associated with sorrow.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of indigo descends to the speaker's shoes, suggesting a profound and pervasive sense of melancholy.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
While the speaker remains passive, the blues (sadness) take over, and the speaker resigns to the feeling.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood of indigo since their significant other left.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The mood indigo has been triggered by the departure of the speaker's loved one.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
During the evening when surroundings are dim, the speaker feels intense loneliness and sadness.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The speaker is so lonely that the possibility of crying is mentioned.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expresses a sense of abandonment; there is no one who cares for the speaker.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker sees themselves as a deeply unfortunate person, feeling even bluer than what is conventionally considered very sad.
When I get that mood indigo,
The recurrence of experiencing the mood of indigo is so overwhelming that it prompts thoughts of surrendering to it.
I could lay me down and die.
Intense despair is expressed, suggesting a feeling of hopelessness.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repetition of the assertion that the listener has never felt deep sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Restatement of the absence of experiencing profound sorrow.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
The cycle of expressing that true sadness comes with the mood of indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Reiteration of the pervasive nature of the indigo feeling, reaching down to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker continues to sit and sigh, accepting the presence of the blues.
