Mood Indigo
Soulful Shades of Desolation: Unraveling Mood Indigo's Heartfelt Melancholy
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 experience with the emotional state of being blue.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness only occurs when you've felt the specific emotion referred to as "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotion penetrates deeply, affecting even the speaker's shoes metaphorically.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The feeling overcomes the speaker, making them silently endure the blues, expressing resignation.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo after parting ways with their baby.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The source of the mood indigo is the departure of the speaker's significant other.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
During the evening, in a dimly lit setting, the loneliness intensifies, evoking a potential cry.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The profound loneliness makes the speaker feel like crying.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expresses a lack of caring companionship, leaving the speaker feeling like a forsaken fool.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker feels extremely sad, surpassing the normal level of sadness.
When I get that mood indigo,
The recurring experience of mood indigo prompts a desire for a release, even death.
I could lay me down and die.
The depth of sadness is so intense that the speaker contemplates the possibility of dying.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the idea that the listener has not experienced the emotional state of being blue.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiterates the absence of previous experience with the emotional state of being blue.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness only occurs when you've felt the specific emotion referred to as "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotion penetrates deeply, affecting even the speaker's shoes metaphorically.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The feeling overcomes the speaker, making them silently endure the blues, expressing resignation.
