The Color Blue
Diving into the Hue: Unveiling the Depths of 'The Color Blue'
Lyrics
You could count it in moons
You could measure time by counting lunar cycles.
Each month when she sleeps I make wishes anew
Expressing the act of making new wishes every month while she sleeps.
Ooh, you could count it in moons
Reiteration of counting time through moon cycles.
You could count it in tears
Counting one's sorrows represented by tears.
Each salty drop falling in an ocean of fears
Describing tears as drops contributing to a vast sea of fears.
Ooh, you could count it in tears
Reiterating the concept of measuring time through tears.
The color blue
Introduction of the theme, "The color blue."
It's just a hue
Stating that the color blue is merely a shade or tone.
Just a funny way to say
Humorous remark about falling deeply into a metaphorical pool.
I've fallen deep into a pool
Describing the emotional depth with a pool metaphor.
They tell me that this feeling
Recognition of the emotional state as "the color blue."
Is called the color blue
Confirmation of the emotional state as the color blue.
You could count it in songs
Counting time through the creation of songs.
Each one that I write keeps on calling out wrongs
Each song written serves as a call against perceived wrongs.
Ooh, you could count it in songs
Reiteration of measuring time through songs.
You could count it in dimes
Counting positive moments symbolized by dimes in a jar.
Each clink in the jar, one small step toward good times
Each clink of a dime represents progress towards good times.
Ooh, you could count it in dimes
Reiteration of measuring time through positive moments.
The color blue
Reiteration of the concept that blue is just a hue.
It's just a hue
Reiteration that blue is merely a shade or tone.
Just a funny way to say
Humorous reminder of falling into the metaphorical pool.

Reiteration of measuring time through lunar cycles.
You could count it in tears
Reiteration of measuring time through tears.

In dimes or in years
Generalizing the various ways time can be measured.
But it doesn't much matter the how or the when
Stating that the specifics of how or when don't matter.
Cause blue will come calling again and again
Asserting that the emotion of blue will persist repeatedly.
But if you listen closely to what blue has to say
Suggesting that by listening to blue, one might learn a new way of living.
She may just teach you how to live a new way
Encouraging attentiveness to the lessons that the emotion of blue may offer.
