Like Blue
Smelling Blue Love: A Melodic Journey Through Heartache
Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement.
I need a break from my own state of mind
Desire for a mental break from one's own thoughts or state of mind.
You don’t give but take way too much of my time
Feeling that someone takes too much time without giving back.
And I’ll say
Transitioning to a statement or expression.
You smell like blue
Using the metaphor of the color blue to describe a scent or aura.
I’ll think of you
Thinking about the person associated with the "blue" scent.
In my bedroom
Referencing thoughts about the person in a private space.
Get out my head you
Encouraging the person to leave the speaker's thoughts.
Don’t get me wrong
Clarifying that the speaker doesn't dislike the person.
This ain’t a love song
Denying that the song is a love song.
Well, I’m lying.
Admitting deception about the nature of the song.
Of course, it’s a love song.
Acknowledging that it is indeed a love song.
But it’s a love song
Highlighting that it's a unique love song for those not typically drawn to love songs.
For those of us that don’t love songs
Acknowledging a lack of interest in conventional love songs.
About the ones, we can’t get with
Describing the theme of unattainable love interests.
But I could never regret it
Expressing no regret despite challenges.
I won’t forget your love and attention
Remembering and valuing past love and attention.
Which has gone and turned into tension
Noting the transformation of love into tension.
And damn I get the message
Acknowledging receipt of a message, possibly emotional distance.
You’re ignoring all my texts
Highlighting ignored text messages.
Well they’d say
Referring to opinions about the person's characteristics.
You were always more or less what I like
Recognizing attraction to the person's qualities.
I’ll find more ways to smile when u cross my mind
Committing to finding joy in thoughts of the person.
And I’m okay thinking bout lost times
Acceptance of past experiences and memories.
I’m fine
Asserting emotional stability.
Though I'll, well I’ll miss every piece of you
Expressing a feeling of loss and missing the person.
Till I forgot or make peace with you
Anticipating forgetting or finding peace with the person.
I don’t regret every week I spent
No regrets about the time spent with the person.
With you running round in my head
Recalling the person frequently occupying thoughts.
And I’ll say
Returning to the theme of the person smelling like blue.
It’s hard to say but I’ll show you that it’s hurting my heart
Expressing difficulty in verbalizing emotional pain.
To call you by my name would I go back to the start?
Questioning whether returning to the beginning is possible.
Well, there’s beauty in the pain
Finding beauty in the pain of the experience.
If a loss is a lesson I’d do it again
Embracing the idea that losses teach valuable lessons.
Again and again
Reaffirming the willingness to go through the experience again.
It’s not a mistake.
Rejecting the notion of a mistake.
Just an alternative way to
Suggesting an unconventional approach to dealing with emotions.
Take away the weight of
Acknowledging the burden of feelings and emotions.
Feelings pushing pressure plates on me.
Describing the pressure of emotions on the speaker.
And I’ll say
Repeating the idea of the person smelling like blue.
You smell like blue
Reiterating the scent of the person as a defining characteristic.
Leave me on re(a)d
Indicating unread or ignored messages.
If your heart's broken
Offering the speaker's heart to someone with a broken heart.
Have mine instead
Suggesting a willingness to share love and support.
