Didn't Want to Sing the Blues
Resisting the Blues: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Unspoken Words
Lyrics
Now we're dark as hell, but I could sit and wail
Expressing a dark or difficult situation, but reluctant to express sorrow or pain.
We were coming too, I didn't want to sing the blues
Despite facing challenges, the speaker didn't want to sing about their troubles.
I put 'em to a spy baby, empty parking lot
Describing a deserted area, possibly a metaphor for emptiness or loneliness.
It's startin' to get loose, but I didn't, didn't want to sing the blues
The situation is becoming more relaxed, but the speaker avoids singing the blues.
I didn't want to sing the blues
Reiteration of the reluctance to express sadness through singing the blues.
The heat are blowin' strong, the radio is on
Setting the scene with intense emotions, music playing, and a desire not to sing the blues.
Playin' "Don't Be Cruel," I didn't want to sing the blues
Reference to an Elvis Presley song, implying a desire to avoid singing about pain.
Come on I heard you sayin, I slowly pulled away
Someone expressing a desire, and the speaker resisting the urge to sing the blues.
I knew you wanted to, but I didn't, didn't want to sing the blues

I didn't want to sing the blues yeah

I ain't no wearing you like no tattoo

Turning greener all the time
Describing a gradual change or decay, possibly in the relationship.
This ain't no landline show, but I ain't no Brando
Rejecting the idea of conforming to a scripted or expected performance.
But these are old familiar lines
Acknowledging familiarity with certain situations or patterns.
And now she'd shed a tear, I put it into gear
A moment of sadness or regret, but the speaker avoids expressing it through the blues.
And said I got a crude, I didn't want to sing the blues
Turning away from a emotional moment, opting not to sing the blues.
I watch you disappear, a dirty rear view mirror
Watching someone leave and avoiding the emotional expression of the blues.
You know I could've loved you, but I didn't, didn't want to sing the blues
Despite the potential for love, the speaker refrains from singing the blues.
I didn't want to sing the blues

I didn't want to sing the blues yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Reaffirming the decision not to sing the blues with emphasis and finality.
