Mood Indigo
Embracing the Blues: Unveiling the Depths of Mood Indigo
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced sadness;
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of not having felt sadness;
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness is not known until one has felt the mood indigo;
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of sadness extends down to the shoes;
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Expressing a passive response to the sadness, just sitting and sighing;
I always get that mood indigo,
Consistently experiencing the mood indigo since a romantic separation;
Since my baby said goodbye.
The sadness persists after a goodbye from a loved one;
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
Feeling lonely in the evening when surroundings are dimly lit;
I'm so lonely I could cry.
Intense loneliness to the point of feeling like crying;
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Expressing a lack of care or concern from others;
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
Describing oneself as extremely sad;
When I get that mood indigo,
Experiencing the mood indigo again;
I could lay me down and die.
Feeling so sad that the thought of dying seems preferable;
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the absence of prior sadness;
You ain't never been blue,
Emphasizing the lack of experience with sadness;
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Reiteration of the connection between sadness and mood indigo;
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Repeating the extension of sadness to the shoes;
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Continued passive response to the blues, sighing;
