Stay Blue
Stay Blue: A Melodic Journey Through Escape and Resilience
Lyrics
Well, I've been livin' my whole life
Expressing a lifetime of experience
Scared of the sun, but the sun never shined
Fearful of exposure or vulnerability, yet the feared circumstances never occurred
What I'd been told was a lie
Realization that previous information or beliefs were untrue
Locked up and caged to keep me from meeting your eye
Constrained and confined to prevent connection or interaction
Ah well, it's funny what we learn
Reflecting on the unexpected lessons learned
As children we say what we're told in return
Parroting taught concepts without understanding
So easily able to play
Easily following without questioning
Turn a blind eye away from the trouble we thought was okay
Ignoring problems deemed acceptable
Oh, what a world and what a day
Commenting on the complexity of the world and the day
Feels like I'm tongue tied with nothin' better to say
Feeling unable to articulate thoughts
Every move that I make gets me closer to you
Making efforts toward connection despite opposition
But they don't want it to be
External resistance preventing the desired connection
So I'll stay -
Commitment to remain in a difficult situation
Well, there's got to be a way
Hoping for an alternative path or solution
To escape with my life and to hear you say
Desiring freedom and affirmation from the person
Let's run far, far away
Wishing to escape and not dwell on past regrets
Never looking back at those that we feel that we have betrayed
Avoiding looking back at those who might feel betrayed
Ah, but it's much harder than it seems
Highlighting the difficulty of achieving dreams
Nothing more than a pipe dream
Dismissing the possibility as unrealistic
To ever get outta here
Expressing inability to leave the current situation
Well I'm sorry but I don't think I can do this, my dear
Apologizing for inability to change the circumstances
Oh, what a world and what a day
Reiterating the complexities of the world and the day
Feels like I'm tongue tied with nothin' better to say
Feeling unable to express thoughts effectively
Every move that I make gets me closer to you
Persisting in efforts to connect despite obstacles
But they don't want it to be
Continued external resistance to the desired connection
So I'll stay -
Commitment to remain in a difficult situation, leading to sadness
Blue
Expressing a feeling of melancholy or sadness
Yeah, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of sadness or melancholy
Stay blue, stay blue, blue
Encouragement to remain in a state of sadness or melancholy
