Blue Me
Shades of Sorrow: Dolly Parton's Melancholic Symphony
Lyrics
(Dolly Parton)
Dolly Parton
Blue me, blue me
Expressing feeling blue or sad
Blue is the color
Blue represents the emotion that suits her
That fits best on me
Identifying with the color blue
I'm blue
Feeling sad or down
Just as blue as can be
Deeply feeling the sadness
Blue me, Blue me
Reiteration of feeling blue
I cry
Expressing emotions through crying
And I die
Feeling emotionally drained or overwhelmed
I lie awake at night
Unable to sleep due to distress
And I question why
Questioning the reason for the emotional state
Must it be
Expressing a sense of inevitability about the situation
I can never be free
Feeling trapped or unable to break free from the sadness
Blue me, Blue me
Repetition of feeling blue
My heart is heavy
Heartache combined with a feeling of emptiness
But it's empty inside
Describing emotional hollowness
No one to love me
Lack of love and companionship
Or to lay down beside
Yearning for intimacy and closeness
I'm blue
Continued expression of feeling blue
The queen of sorrow
Metaphorical reference to being deeply sad
Wears royal blue
Associating profound sorrow with royalty (wearing royal blue)
My luck ain't changin'
Feeling stuck in an unfortunate situation
Is it ever goin' to
Questioning if circumstances will ever improve
I'm blue, Oh I'm blue
Reiteration of feeling blue
Why must I wear this robe of blue misery
Expressing the weight of ongoing sadness
Blue me, Blue me
Repetition of feeling blue
Ooh
Emotional exclamation
This sad old feeling
Describing the impact of persistent sadness
Is breakin' me down
Feeling emotionally drained due to ongoing sorrow
No satisfaction with these blues hangin' 'round
Lack of fulfillment despite the presence of sadness
Lord, I'm blue
Continued expression of deep sadness
Oh, I'm so blue Why can't I shake it tell me where will this end
Questioning why the feeling persists
When will I get out of this blue rut I'm in
Desire to break free from the cycle of sadness
Oh, I'm blue
Reiteration of feeling blue
Looks like the blues just took a liking to me
Feeling overwhelmed by sadness
Blue me, Blue me Blue me, Blue me
Repetition of feeling blue
Blue is the color that fits best on me
Reiteration of identifying with the color blue
Ooooh, I'm blue
Repetition of feeling blue
I'm just as blue as can be
Reiteration of feeling intensely sad
Blue me
Reiteration of feeling blue
Blue me
