Shades of blue
Brushing Heartbreak: Shades of Blue in a Portrait of Love
Lyrics
If I painted your portrait
If I were to create your likeness through art
I'd only use shades of blue
I would solely use variations of the color blue
Cerulean sadness
The specific shade of blue signifies deep sadness
Deeply reminds me of you
This sadness strongly evokes memories of you
I'd let the colours bleed together
I would allow these different shades to blend together
So intricately consumed
In a way that intricately consumes the portrait
Cerulean sadness
Reiterating the use of the cerulean shade for its perfection
Would make for the perfect hue
Emphasizing the suitability of this sadness as a hue
If I painted you
If I depicted you in this manner
Ooooh
Expression of emotion
If I painted you
Reiteration of the desire to depict you through art
If I recreate your face
If I were to create an image of your face
I'd remember every trace
I would meticulously recall every detail
From your forehead to the dimple on your chin
Starting from your forehead to the dimple on your chin
In between the painted lines
Between the painted lines
Of your hazy, cool-toned eyes
Describing the eyes with a hazy, cool-toned appearance
I would ink a warning sign upon your skin
Metaphorically adding a warning sign to your persona
Let it sink in
Allowing the warning to be absorbed or understood
How's that feeling?
Inquiring about emotions
Guess this is healing
Recognizing the process of healing
Ooooh
Expressing emotions
Cause your ingrained
Describing your presence as deeply ingrained
Like a stain
Analogizing your presence to a stubborn stain
That won't come out
Emphasizing the difficulty in removing this presence
But you'll fade
However, acknowledging your gradual fading away
With every day
Highlighting your diminishing presence over time
You're not around
The absence of your presence impacting the fading process
Oh you're ingrained
Reiteration of your deeply ingrained presence
Like a stain
Reiteration of the comparison to a stubborn stain
That won't come out
Reiterating the challenge in removing this presence
But you'll fade
Reinforcing the idea of gradual fading despite difficulty
With every day
Continuing the notion of fading in your absence
You're not around
The ongoing impact of your absence on fading
Cause I don't miss you
Asserting the lack of missing the individual
But I miss being loved
Expressing a longing for the feeling of being loved
All these shades of blue
Reflecting on the various depths of sadness
I would burn them up
Symbolically referencing the desire to rid oneself of this sadness
