Mood Indigo
Embracing the Blues: Exploring the Depths of Mood Indigo's Heartache
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You haven't experienced sadness or melancholy before.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the idea that the listener hasn't been truly sad.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
True sadness only comes with experiencing "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of sadness extends down to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker is sitting, feeling the blues, and urging the blues to continue.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences "mood indigo" since their beloved left.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The sadness intensifies during the evening when the lights are dim.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
The speaker feels extremely lonely, to the point of tears.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
Expressing deep emotional pain due to the absence of companionship.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
There is a lack of caring individuals around the speaker.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker feels like a pitiful fool, exceptionally sad.
When I get that mood indigo,
The recurring experience of "mood indigo" prompts thoughts of despair.
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of sadness is so great that the speaker contemplates death.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
(Repetition of lines 1-5)
You ain't never been blue,
(Repetition of lines 2-5)
Till you've had that mood indigo.
(Reiteration of the impact of "mood indigo")
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
(Repetition of the feeling extending to the shoes)
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
(Repetition of the speaker sitting and sighing with the blues)
