Mood Indigo
Embracing the Blues: Exploring the Depths of Mood Indigo
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced sadness or melancholy.
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of feeling blue.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
True blue feelings emerge only when experiencing "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The melancholic sensation travels down to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker remains seated, expressing the blues through sighs.
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences the mood indigo since a farewell from their beloved.
Since my baby said goodbye.
The mood persists after the speaker's baby bids farewell.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
In the evening, when it's dark, the loneliness intensifies.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The speaker is so lonely that crying seems inevitable.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
No one cares about the speaker; they feel abandoned.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
The speaker is extremely sad, reaching a depth of blue emotions.
When I get that mood indigo,
The recurring experience of mood indigo causes a desire for self-inflicted oblivion.
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of mood indigo makes the speaker contemplate death.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Reiteration of the absence of feeling blue.
You ain't never been blue,
Emphasizing the lack of previous experience with sadness.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
True blue feelings emerge only when experiencing "mood indigo."
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The melancholic sensation travels down to the speaker's shoes.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The speaker remains seated, expressing the blues through sighs.
