Blue Ink
Faded Love Letters: Blue Ink's Journey through Deserted Desires
Lyrics
I'm falling off the barstool mama in this old ghost town saloon
I'm in a disheveled state, falling off a barstool in an old and deserted saloon in this town.
Where sunlight moves like sadness across the room
The sunlight in this place adds to the feeling of melancholy and sorrow.
Oh my sweet mama if you could only see me
The speaker wishes their mother could witness their current state.
Now drunk as a skunk falling out of this rundown lacy gown
Intoxicated and wearing a worn-out gown, completely inebriated.
This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink
Repetition emphasizes the significance of the blue ink.
Across the page I write to you
The speaker uses this blue ink to communicate with someone, likely the mother.
I'm sitting in these thorny cowboy boots
Seated uncomfortably in cowboy boots, possibly feeling regretful.
And scabby knees wondering why I left you mama
Reflecting on the decision to leave, questioning the reason for the departure.
Just to do as I please no hat has a brim
Expressing a feeling of freedom without any limitations imposed.
Wide enough to block out the blazing sun
Nothing can shield from the intense realities of life, symbolized by the blazing sun.
I met the devil on the road but I had no legs to run
Encountering challenges or temptations, feeling powerless to escape.
This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink
Reiteration underlines the importance of the written communication in blue ink.
Across the page I write to you
Continuing to use blue ink to express feelings and thoughts.
Silver ran off two towns ago I been walking alone
Having lost companionship or support recently, walking a solitary path.
I been walking slow my eyes are dry from the desert wind
Slowly moving forward, experiencing the harshness of the environment.
I know I ain't coming home to you again
Acceptance of not returning to the mother's home.
I'll take off into the deep blue sky
Referencing an eventual departure into the afterlife or an unknown future.
When I'm dead and gone and the buzzards fly this blue ink across the page
Even in death, the speaker wishes to communicate with their mother using blue ink.
I write to you mama if you love me you're the only one who do
Expressing the mother's love as the most consistent and enduring.
