Mood Indigo
Capturing the Melancholy Essence: Mood Indigo Unveiled
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced sadness or melancholy;
You ain't never been blue,
You have never been in a state of sadness;
Till you've had that mood indigo.
True sadness is only felt when experiencing "mood indigo," a deep emotional state;
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of sadness penetrates down to the speaker's shoes;
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker remains passive while the blues take over, expressing resignation;
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo since a significant goodbye;
Since my baby said goodbye.
The source of the speaker's sadness is the departure of their loved one;
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
During the evening when it's dark, the loneliness intensifies;
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The speaker is so lonely that crying seems inevitable;
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
No one cares for the speaker, leading to a profound sense of isolation;
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker feels extremely sad, beyond the depths of ordinary sadness;
When I get that mood indigo,
The recurring experience of mood indigo is overwhelming;
I could lay me down and die.
The speaker contemplates the idea of death when under the influence of mood indigo;
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repetition emphasizes the significance of never experiencing such deep sadness;
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of profound sadness;
Till you've had that mood indigo.
True understanding of deep sadness comes only with the encounter of mood indigo;
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The emotional state pervades down to the speaker's shoes once again;
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker remains passive, sighing and accepting the presence of the blues.
