Blue
Chasing Shadows: Finding Meaning in Nyah Grace's 'Blue'
Lyrics
Blue on a Sunday
Feeling melancholic or sad on a Sunday
I know that someday we'll find
Confidence in finding something important eventually
All we've been needed
Discovering everything required
All but the reason behind
Except the cause or rationale behind it
Oh you can say that the feeling will numb
Belief that the emotions will become less intense
You can wait for the rise of the sun
Waiting for a brighter, better future
Darling play all the music you want
Encouragement to indulge in enjoyable activities
If it makes you feel alright
As long as it brings a sense of well-being
Blue on a Sunday
Reiteration of feeling blue on a Sunday
Ain't only one way it's right
No single correct way to handle this feeling
Ain't only one time
Not restricted to a singular instance
We've felt on the wrong side though we try
Despite attempts, feeling out of place or wrong
Oh you can say that the feeling is gone
Suggestion that the emotion has dissipated
Count all the ways and the reasons it's wrong
Counting the reasons why it's incorrect or undesirable
Darling play all the music you want
Encouragement to enjoy music for comfort
If it makes you feel alright
If it brings solace or peace
alright
Emphasizing 'alright' as a reassurance
And the blue falls around me
Feeling surrounded by sadness or melancholy
As the rain comes down slowly
Symbolizing the presence of sadness like rain
And the blue falls around me
Reiteration of feeling encompassed by sadness
As the rain comes down slowly
Similar to line 19, emphasizing the feeling of sadness
Oh you can say that the feeling will numb
Reiteration that emotions might diminish
You can wait for the rise of the sun
Hope for a brighter future reiterated
Darling play all the music you want
Encouragement to find solace in music
If it makes you feel alright
If it brings comfort or alleviates the mood
Alright
Reinforcement of 'alright' for reassurance
Alright
Further reinforcement of 'alright' for reassurance
Alright, alright
Repeated reassurance for feeling alright
If it makes you feel alright
Condition for feeling alright, depending on what helps
