Midnight Indigo
Embracing Midnight Indigo: A Symphony of Heartache and Solitude
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 previous experiences with deep sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo
True sadness is not known until one has felt "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotional impact reaches down to the speaker's shoes, suggesting a profound and pervasive effect.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues"
The speaker sits in silence, acknowledging the blues and expressing resignation.
I always get that mood indigo
The speaker consistently experiences a state of melancholy or "mood indigo."
Since my baby said goodbye
The source of the speaker's sadness is a farewell from a loved one.
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 speaker feels so lonely that crying becomes a plausible response.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
The speaker laments the absence of anyone who cares about their well-being.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be
Describing oneself as a deeply sorrowful person, even more than the usual state of being blue.
When I get that mood indigo
Reiteration of experiencing the profound sadness represented by "mood indigo."
I could lay me down and die
Expressing a level of despair so intense that the speaker contemplates death.
You ain't never been blue, no, no, no
Reiteration of the absence of prior experiences with deep sadness.
You ain't never been blue
Emphasizing again that true sadness has not been encountered before.
Till you've had that mood indigo
Repeating the idea that one must experience "mood indigo" to understand profound sadness.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Restating the impact of the feeling, extending down to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues"
Reaffirming the speaker's passive response to the blues, sighing in resignation.
