KING KOFI - INDIGO LYRICS
Introduction: "Indigo" by King Kofi
Missing are the days when I'd lie across the counter,
Reflecting on the past when lying across the counter was a common practice
We were always an unlikely encounter.
Recalling an unexpected encounter
I was just a tiny little kitten when I found her,
Describing oneself as a small kitten when discovering something valuable
Scraps of honey chicken made my stomach get rounder,
Connecting the memory with the impact of shared experiences, possibly joyful ones
Shared a lot of common with each other guess we had to,
Highlighting commonalities shared with another person
Your mother used to love me and your cousins and your brothers too Good days turned to bad days quickly,
Remembering positive relationships with family members
The screams got loud and the cries got sadder
Transitioning from good to bad times, marked by increased emotional intensity
Close your eyes, take time, Indigo's in you and I,
Encouraging introspection and connection with inner self (Indigo)
Meditate don't medicate,
Advocating meditation over medication for coping with challenges
We'll smile again at heavens gate
Expressing hope for a brighter future beyond difficulties
Your mother always said you were an angel,
Recalling a positive perception of an individual as an angel
So you left earth but the earth wasn't grateful, Summertime comes and the trees bloom green,
Reflecting on the departure of the angel and the lack of gratitude from the world
But it's a sad time for your brothers and your cousins too, I would see your face in the patterns in the maple,
Mourning the impact of the loss on close relations during the summertime
Honey chicken didn't taste the same I was hateful,
Associating negative emotions with a change in the taste of a shared dish
Then I realised that you gave me away,
Realizing the act of giving away and its impact on the narrator
Cause you love me enough so the pain didn't breakthrough
Acknowledging the love that prevented the pain from breaking through
Close your eyes, take time, Indigo's in you and I,
Reiterating the importance of connecting with one's inner self (Indigo)
Meditate don't medicate,
Emphasizing the value of meditation over medication for healing
We'll smile again at heavens gate
Expressing optimism about finding joy again
Missing are the days when I'd lie across the counter, We were always an unlikely encounter.
Repeating the nostalgia for lying across the counter in unlikely encounters
Now I grow old and my bones feel frail,
Reflecting on aging and the fragility of the narrator's bones
And I've lived full lives but they're lives that I'm proud of, I know I'll smile again when I see you,
Acknowledging a life lived with pride despite challenges
Let the sound of the music free you,
Anticipating happiness upon reunion and the liberating power of music
Cause I know far away you can hear me,
Believing in a connection with the departed, even from a distance
And when you sing along then you know that you're near me.
Highlighting the significance of shared music in feeling close
(Interlude)
Instrumental interlude
Do you see me? X 4
Pleading for recognition and connection
Close your eyes, take time, Indigo's in you and I,
Reiterating the call to connect with one's inner self (Indigo)
Meditate don't medicate,
Encouraging meditation for inner peace and healing
We'll smile again at heavens gate
Expressing confidence in finding joy again at heavens gate
