Mood Indigo
Dive into the Depths of Emotional Blues with "Mood Indigo
Lyrics
You ain't been blue, no, no, no
You haven't experienced sadness (being blue) before
You ain't been blue
Reiteration that the listener hasn't felt true sadness
Till you've had that mood indigo
True sadness is described as "mood indigo"
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of sadness reaches down to the speaker's shoes
While I sit here and sigh, go 'long blues
The speaker is sitting, sighing, and experiencing the blues
Always get that mood indigo
Consistently feeling the mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
Attributing the mood indigo to the departure of the speaker's baby
And in the evenin' when the lights are low
Feeling lonesome in the evening when lights are low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Expressing deep loneliness, possibly to the point of crying
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
No one cares about the speaker
I'm just a soul that's bluer than blue can be
The speaker is extremely sad, beyond the usual level of sadness
When I get that mood indigo
Reiteration of experiencing mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
The intensity of sadness is so great that the speaker could contemplate death
Always get that mood indigo
Continued experience of mood indigo after the baby's departure
Since my baby said goodbye
Reiteration of the impact of the baby's goodbye on the speaker's mood
In the evenin', in the evenin' when the lights are low
Feeling lonesome again in the evening with low lights
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Reiteration of deep loneliness and potential for crying
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
Emphasizing the lack of care from others towards the speaker
I'm just a soul that's bluer than blue can be
The speaker is profoundly sad, reaching a state beyond regular sadness
When I get, when I get, when I get that mood indigo
Anticipation of feeling mood indigo again
I could lay me down and die
The speaker feels the intensity of sadness to the point of contemplating death again
