Mood Indigo
Drowning in Indigo: Exploring the Depths of Heartbreak
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced sadness
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of the feeling of sadness
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness, referred to as "mood indigo," has never been felt
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The melancholic emotion extends down to the speaker's shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker is passive, sitting and expressing sorrow, urging the blues to depart
I always get that mood indigo,
The recurring experience of feeling "mood indigo" after a romantic separation
Since my baby said goodbye.
The origin of the blues is the departure of the speaker's baby
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
Loneliness intensifies in the evening when the surroundings are dimly lit
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The loneliness reaches a point where the speaker could cry
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expressing a lack of support and care from others
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker feels exceptionally sad, surpassing the usual depths of sadness
When I get that mood indigo,
The recurrence of the deep emotional state, "mood indigo"
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of the sadness is so profound that the speaker contemplates death
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the absence of the feeling of sadness
You ain't never been blue,
Emphasizing the lack of experience with the emotion of sadness
Till you've had that mood indigo.
The introduction of the recurring theme of "mood indigo"
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotional state extends to the speaker's shoes once again
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Expressing passive sorrow and urging the blues to leave
