Mood Indigo
Emotional 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 experiencing sadness or melancholy.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is not truly felt until one has experienced the specific state of "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The sensation of "mood indigo" extends down to the speaker's shoes, indicating a deep emotional impact.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker is resigned to the blues, expressing a passive acceptance of the emotional state.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo, particularly after a romantic separation (baby saying goodbye).
Since my baby said goodbye.
The mood indigo persists since the departure of the speaker's loved one.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
During the evening when surroundings are dimly lit, the speaker feels intense loneliness.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The loneliness is so overwhelming that the speaker could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expresses a lack of emotional support or care from others.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker considers themselves a deeply unhappy and unfortunate individual.
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiteration of experiencing the mood indigo, emphasizing the emotional depth.
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of the mood indigo is so profound that the speaker feels like giving up on life.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the idea that without experiencing the mood indigo, one hasn't truly felt sadness.
You ain't never been blue,
Emphasizes the absence of experiencing sadness without the mood indigo.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Repetition of the idea that true sadness comes with the mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Reiterates the deep impact of the mood indigo, extending to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
While engulfed in the blues, the speaker resigns to a sigh, suggesting acceptance or surrender to the emotional state.
