Feeling Blue
Navigating Shades of Solitude: Native Harrow's 'Feeling Blue' Revealed
Lyrics
Tried to be a painter in a lonely white room
Tried to express myself as an artist in a solitary space.
I couldn't see the colors 'til I saw inside of you
Realized the true essence only when I understood your inner self.
Worked beside a carpenter whose love had left him cold
Worked alongside a carpenter who became emotionally distant due to lost love.
And in his many ways he had closed off from the world
Expressing the ways in which he emotionally closed off from the world.
And all I know is how to go and get around the feeling blue
Struggling to cope with feelings of sadness and melancholy.
And all my quiet thoughts they hang around
My contemplative thoughts persistently linger.
They hang around
Continuation of the lingering thoughts, emphasizing their presence.
They hang around
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the persistent thoughts.
Look into a woman's face who's trying to move on
Observing a woman trying to move forward after a loss.
Does she falter slightly when you say that he is gone
Noting the potential emotional struggle when acknowledging the absence of a significant person.
She's trying to remember if she ever was before
Reflecting on the possibility that the woman may question her past identity.
And could that person now be one that she once wore
Considering whether the person she used to be is now a distant memory.
And all I know is how to go and get around the feeling blue
Reiterating the difficulty of dealing with and overcoming feelings of sadness.
And all my quiet thoughts they hang around
Continuing to emphasize the lingering and persistent nature of quiet thoughts.
They hang around
Repetition, emphasizing the enduring presence of contemplative thoughts.
They hang around
Underlining the lasting impact of these contemplative thoughts.
I've lived in many cities but I've never made a home
Having lived in various places but never finding a true sense of belonging.
And in a stranger's face you can see that I am gone
Indicating a sense of detachment visible in the face of a stranger.
When you speak in anger no one hears you right or wrong
Highlighting the communication challenge when expressing anger.
And all I know is how to go and get around the feeling blue
Reiterating the struggle with and avoidance of feelings of sadness.
And all my quiet thoughts they hang around
Persistently experiencing and dealing with quiet, contemplative thoughts.
They hang around
Re-emphasizing the enduring nature of these contemplative thoughts.
They hang around
Stressing the consistent and prolonged presence of contemplative thoughts.
They hang around
Highlighting the enduring nature of contemplative thoughts, adding emphasis.
And all I know is how to go and get around the feeling blue
Final repetition, emphasizing the continual effort to navigate and overcome feelings of sadness.
