Mood Indigo
Embracing the Blues: Exploring 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 the feeling of being blue.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
True understanding of sadness only comes with experiencing "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of melancholy descends through the body to the shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Expressing the passive response to the blues, sitting and sighing.
I always get that mood indigo,
Consistently experiencing the mood indigo since a significant farewell.
Since my baby said goodbye.
Attributing the mood to the departure of a loved one.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
Feeling lonely and on the verge of tears during the evening.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
Intense loneliness leading to a potential emotional breakdown.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expressing a lack of support or concern from others.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
Characterizing oneself as a deeply saddened and unfortunate individual.
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiteration of experiencing the mood indigo, emphasizing its impact.
I could lay me down and die.
Desperation to the extent of contemplating death when in the mood indigo.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repetition for emphasis on the absence of prior experience with sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Restating the idea that true blues only come with mood indigo.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Reiteration of the impact of mood indigo on one's emotional state.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Repeating the descent of the feeling to the shoes, underscoring its depth.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Reiterating the passive response to the blues, sitting and sighing.
