Mood Indigo
Embracing the Blue Symphony: Unraveling the Depths of Mood Indigo
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 experiencing the emotion of blue or sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is only truly felt when one has experienced the mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotional sensation descends through the speaker's entire being, reaching down to their shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker is resigned to feeling the blues, expressing a passive acceptance of the emotional state.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo since their baby left them.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The source of the melancholy 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 environment, the speaker feels intense loneliness, almost to the point of tears.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The speaker is overwhelmed by loneliness and is on the verge of crying.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expresses a sense of abandonment and lack of care from others.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker sees themselves as a deeply unhappy person.
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiteration of experiencing the mood indigo, emphasizing its profound impact on the speaker.
I could lay me down and die.
The emotional weight is so heavy that the speaker feels as if they could metaphorically "lay down and die."
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repetition of the earlier assertion that the listener has not experienced true sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the idea that the listener has not felt the deep emotional state described as "mood indigo."
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Restates that true sadness is only experienced when one encounters the mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotional sensation permeates through the speaker's entire being, reaching down to their shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker, in a resigned manner, acknowledges the blues by sighing, suggesting an acceptance of their emotional state.
