Blue
Navigating the Shadows: Unveiling the Emotions Behind Steel Train's 'Blue'
Lyrics
So long since I've seen your eyes and I
Expressing the duration since the speaker last saw the person's eyes.
Am finding out how to get by without you
Reflecting on the process of learning to cope or live without the person.
I walk these streets with a lonely sky
Describing the surroundings, walking through streets with a sense of loneliness.
And baby I get by
Despite the loneliness, the speaker manages to get by without the person.
But it was you all along
Realization that the person was significant and played a crucial role.
Blue had you too
The color blue is associated with the person, indicating a sense of sadness or melancholy.
I lied for you
Admitting to dishonesty or deception for the sake of the person.
And nothing can be real till you can feel
Emphasizing that reality is tied to the ability to feel and experience emotions.
I walk your street with a lonely sky
Repeating the theme of walking through lonely streets, connecting it to the person.
And baby I get high about you
Feeling a heightened emotional state, possibly euphoria or nostalgia, about the person.
Time will pass and I lose my worth
Acknowledging the passage of time and a potential decline in self-worth.
Tonight it hurts
Expressing emotional pain or distress experienced at the present moment.
And you can run fast like the wind
Highlighting the person's ability to move on swiftly, contrasting with the speaker's struggle.
I walk these streets with a lonely sky and baby I get by
Reiteration of walking through lonely streets and managing to get by without the person.
But it was you everyday
Affirmation of the person's significant presence in the speaker's daily life.
Blue had you too
Repeating the association of the color blue with the person, suggesting ongoing sadness.
Lied for you
Reiterating the act of lying for the person, indicating a willingness to sacrifice honesty.
And nothing can be real when without you I cannot feel
Stressing the impact of the person's absence on the speaker's ability to feel and experience reality.
