Mood Indigo
Drowning in Mood Indigo: A Symphony of Heartache and Loneliness
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 sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is not truly felt until one has experienced the mood represented by the color indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of indigo extends down to the speaker's shoes, indicating a pervasive and deep emotional state.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
While experiencing this mood, the speaker sits and sighs, expressing a resigned acceptance of the blues.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently encounters the mood indigo, especially after a significant loss - the departure of their baby.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The mood intensifies after a goodbye from the speaker's baby, suggesting a romantic or personal loss.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
During the evening, in a dimly lit environment, the speaker experiences deep loneliness.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The loneliness is so profound that it brings the speaker to the verge of tears.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expressing a lack of care and concern from others, highlighting a sense of isolation.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker sees themselves as a pitiful individual, feeling even sadder than the maximum level of blue.
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiteration of experiencing the mood indigo, emphasizing its recurring nature.
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of the mood is so overwhelming that the speaker contemplates the possibility of death.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Restatement of the idea that the listener has not felt true sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of previous experiences with sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is not truly felt until one has experienced the mood represented by the color indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of indigo extends down to the speaker's shoes, indicating a pervasive and deep emotional state.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
While experiencing this mood, the speaker sits and sighs, expressing a resigned acceptance of the blues.
