Blue
Melancholic Reflections: Marlon DuBois' 'Blue' Meaning
Lyrics
Remember what we had
Reflecting on past memories and relationships.
All the special times are in the past
Nostalgia for special moments that are now in the past.
I do a lot of drugs I know it's bad, okay
Admitting to drug use despite awareness of its negative impact.
But I've just been so motherfuckin sad today
Expressing intense sadness as a reason for drug use.
Why you leave me all alone?
Questioning why the partner left and feeling abandoned.
The light is on but ain't nobody home
Feeling emotionally vacant despite physical presence.
So high
Emphasizing an altered state, possibly influenced by drugs.
Baby we can go so high
Suggesting a desire to experience emotional highs.
If I could take your trust and keep in your pocket, I would
Expressing a wish to preserve trust like a valuable possession.
Sometimes I think that I'm no good
Internal struggle with self-worth and doubts about goodness.
Just misunderstood
Feeling misunderstood and possibly isolated.
Don't do what I should
Admitting to not following conventional expectations.
Without attachment I would never have to go back home
Highlighting avoidance of emotional connections to avoid pain.
If you wanna make it out just let me know
Offering assistance to someone wanting to escape a difficult situation.
Violets blue, like we bangin C's
Using colors to describe emotions, possibly relating to gang affiliation.
I don't wear Channel, you can't see both sides of me
Rejecting materialism and suggesting a hidden, complex identity.
Bitch I'm lookin out as far as my mind can see
Expressing a broad perspective and openness to new experiences.
I lost my mind and had all kinds of dreams
Having ambitious dreams despite losing mental stability.
I can tell if you gon ride for me
Testing loyalty and commitment in relationships.
I can tell if you gon die for me
Expecting commitment even in challenging situations.
Tell if you gon truth
Seeking honesty and transparency in interpersonal connections.
I can tell if you gon lie to me
Being able to discern deception in relationships.
We were never more than friends
Acknowledging a limited relationship, possibly unrequited.
I wish I could pretend
Expressing a desire to pretend or deny certain emotions.
I don't wanna hold your hand
Rejecting physical intimacy as insincere.
Cause that shit be pretend
Doubting the authenticity of emotional connections.
We were never friends
Denying a genuine friendship or connection.
Didn't start, didn't end
Describing an undefined relationship with no clear beginning or end.
Feelings feelin worse
Expressing worsening emotions in a relationship.
When I saw her at the end
Encountering emotional distress upon seeing the partner at the end.
I'm seeing the sun but I ain't go to sleep yet
Experiencing a disoriented state, possibly from sleep deprivation.
I been tryna change myself, but this won't ever end
Struggling with personal transformation and a sense of permanence.
Live a thousand mornings in the comfort of your bed
Describing the desire for comfort and security in a relationship.
Well, even if I'm not
Acknowledging a persistent mental presence even if physically absent.
I'll still be there in my head
Emphasizing the enduring impact of memories in the mind.
