Mood Indigo
Capturing the Blues: Unraveling 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,
Reiterates the absence of experiencing deep sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Until you've felt the specific melancholic feeling of "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
This feeling penetrates deeply, affecting even the bottom of the speaker's being.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker passively laments while the blues, or sadness, persist.
I always get that mood indigo,
Consistently experiencing the state of "mood indigo."
Since my baby said goodbye.
Since the departure of the speaker's beloved.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
In the evening, during quiet times, the sense of loneliness intensifies.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
Feeling extremely isolated to the point of potential tears.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
No one shows concern or cares for the speaker's well-being.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker feels utterly desolate, surpassing any typical feeling of sadness.
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiterates the recurring experience of "mood indigo."
I could lay me down and die.
Expresses the depth of despair, feeling as if death would be a relief.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repeats the assertion that the listener has not experienced deep sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiterates the absence of experiencing deep sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Until the listener has felt the specific melancholic feeling of "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Expresses how deeply this feeling affects the speaker.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker remains passive while the blues, or sadness, persist.
