Mood Indigo
Embracing the Blues: Ronnie Magri's Mood Indigo Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced sadness or melancholy
You ain't never been blue,
Reiterates that the listener has not felt blue
Till you've had that mood indigo.
True sadness only comes with the mood indigo
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of indigo extends down to the speaker's shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker is passive while experiencing the blues and suggests the blues to leave
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently feels the mood indigo after a breakup
Since my baby said goodbye.
Expresses the source of sadness as the departure of the speaker's baby
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
The loneliness intensifies in the evening when lights are low
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The loneliness reaches a point where the speaker could cry
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Emphasizes the speaker's isolation and lack of caring companions
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker sees themselves as a deeply sad and unfortunate person
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiterates the recurring experience of mood indigo
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of mood indigo is so overwhelming that the speaker feels like dying
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repeats the idea that the listener has not experienced true sadness
You ain't never been blue,
Reiterates the lack of experience with the blues
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Emphasizes that real sadness comes with the mood indigo
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of indigo extends down to the speaker's shoes, echoing earlier lines
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker remains passive in their sadness, sighing and allowing the blues to continue
