Mood Indigo
Capturing the Blues Essence: Mood Indigo Unveiled
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 feeling blue.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is not truly felt until one experiences the specific emotion referred to as "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The melancholic sensation reaches down to the speaker's shoes, suggesting a pervasive and deep emotional impact.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker remains passive, sitting and sighing in the face of the blues, acknowledging the inevitability of the mood.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo, likely associated with a recent separation from a loved one.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The mood persists since the speaker's significant other has bid farewell.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
In the evening, when the atmosphere is subdued, the loneliness intensifies.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The speaker feels so lonely that crying seems like a plausible response.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expressing the lack of caring or concern from others, highlighting the speaker's isolation.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker sees themselves as a profoundly sad and unfortunate individual.
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiteration of experiencing the mood indigo, emphasizing its impact on the speaker.
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of the mood indigo is so overwhelming that the speaker feels it could lead to a desire for death.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repeat of the assertion that the listener has never felt blue.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of feeling blue.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Recapitulation of the idea that true blue feelings only occur with the experience of mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Repetition of the sensation extending down to the shoes, underlining its profound impact.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Despite the emotional depth, the speaker remains passive, resigned to the influence of the blues.
