Sinking in Blue
Navigating Heartbreak: Sinking in the Blues with Francis Rossi and Hannah Rickard
Lyrics
It’s been so hard getting up in the morning
Struggling to face the day
It ain’t easy getting through now day to day
Difficulty in coping with daily life
My friends all come by and their company
Enjoying the company of friends
It’s so good for me, that they do
Friends' presence is beneficial
But I know that I’m sinking in blue
Awareness of feeling deeply sad
I remember the smile in your eyes
Recollection of happy memories with someone departed
And the sound of your voice now you’re gone
Missing the presence and voice of the departed
And I’m thinking and sinking and drinking my heart out
Engaging in self-destructive behavior like drinking due to sorrow
And I’m thinking I’ll just carry on
Intent to continue despite hardships
Oh I know I’m not the first one to be feeling
Feeling isolated and desolate
Like the only one to be left out in the rain
Sense of being alone in despair
If I get a chance I’ll be on again
Hope for another chance at happiness
Get along again, without you
Plan to move forward without the person
But I know that I’m sinking in blue
Understanding the depth of sadness despite plans to move on
I remember the smile in your eyes
Repetition of missing someone's joyful presence
And the sound of your voice now you’re gone
Continued longing for the departed
And I’m thinking and sinking and drinking my heart out
Continued engagement in self-destructive behavior
And I’m thinking I’ll just carry on
Determination to persevere despite difficulties
People may say that I’m lost in a bubble
Perceived as being in a difficult situation by others
I’m heading for trouble
Anticipating trouble due to the situation
But they don’t understand
Misunderstanding from others about personal feelings
People may say that I’m lost in a bubble
Reiteration of being misunderstood by others
I’m heading for trouble
Expectation of encountering problems
But they don’t understand
Lack of understanding from others
Oh I remember the smile in your eyes
Recollecting the departed person's joyful presence
And the sound of your voice now you’re gone
Continued longing for the departed
Now I’m thinking and sinking and drinking my heart out
Continued engagement in self-destructive behavior
And I’m thinking I’ll just carry on
Determination to persist despite hardships
Oh I’m thinking and sinking and drinking my heart out
Repetition of engaging in self-destructive behavior
And I’m thinking I’ll just carry on
Determination to continue despite sorrow
And I’m thinking I’ll just carry on
Intent to carry on despite difficulties
