Blue
Shades of Melancholy: Unveiling the Heart's Symphony in Joe Turone's 'Blue'
Lyrics
I'm breaking into pieces that
I'm experiencing emotional distress and falling apart.
I describe as a heart attack
I describe my distress as similar to a heart attack.
But I'm a hypochondriac
I tend to worry excessively about my health.
Who has less nerve than my stomach has
I lack courage or bravery compared to my stomach's resilience.
Lift my head from the river
If I look around, I may realize the situation is prevalent.
And I might just see that it's all around
I was afraid to acknowledge the pervasive nature of my thoughts.
I was scared to consider
Fearful of acknowledging that my thoughts are contained and limited.
That the thoughts I scream are just trapped in a bubble
My thoughts might be isolated or enclosed in a restrictive space.
I'm blue
Repetition emphasizes feeling "blue" or emotionally down.
I'm blue
-I'm blue
-I'm blue
-When I see time I count it down
When I perceive time, I anticipate its end or completion.
To stay in line with the moment how
I strive to align myself with the present moment.
Comes when my chest it aches I see the end?
Physical pain prompts thoughts about the end or mortality.
I answer twice then I'll ask again
I respond to the thought of the end twice before reconsidering.
Lift my head from the river
If I look around, I may realize the situation is prevalent.
And I might just see that it's all around
I was afraid to acknowledge the pervasive nature of my thoughts.
I was scared to consider
Fearful of acknowledging that my thoughts are contained and limited.
That the thoughts I scream are just trapped in a bubble
My thoughts might be isolated or enclosed in a restrictive space.
I'm blue
Repetition emphasizes feeling "blue" or emotionally down.
I'm blue
-I'm blue
-I'm blue
-Hold my breath I'm
I'm struggling or feeling suffocated.
Underwater
Expressing a feeling of being submerged and carrying on despite difficulties.
Pick my feet up
-Keep on bruising
-Hold my breath I'm
-Underwater
-Pick my feet up
-And keep on moving
-If I breath in
Considering that taking a breath might offer relief.
It might just help
However, reminding myself might be necessary.
But I might need to remind myself
Acknowledging the existence of better days.
There are brighter days
I still hold onto hope despite the mess I'm in.
Still I tie my faith
I firmly attach my belief despite the chaos.
Shoelace tight to the mess I've made
I secure my belief strongly amidst the disorder I've created.
I'm blue
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally down or "blue."
