Mood Indigo
Capturing the Depths of Despair: Mood Indigo Unveiled
Lyrics
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never experienced sadness
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of feeling blue
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness only occurs when you've felt "mood indigo"
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The melancholy emotion extends down to the speaker's shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The feeling leaves the speaker in a state of sighing and contemplation
I always get that mood indigo,
The speaker consistently experiences this mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye.
Attributed to the departure of the speaker's baby
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
Loneliness intensifies in the evening with dim lights
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The depth of loneliness makes the speaker feel like crying
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
The speaker is devoid of care and attention from others
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
Expressing extreme sadness and a sense of hopelessness
When I get that mood indigo,
Reiteration of experiencing mood indigo
I could lay me down and die.
The intensity of mood indigo is so strong that death seems preferable
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
Repetition emphasizing the absence of prior experience with sadness
You ain't never been blue,
Reiteration of the absence of feeling blue
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Sadness only occurs when you've felt "mood indigo"
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The melancholy emotion extends down to the speaker's shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
The feeling leaves the speaker in a state of sighing and contemplation
