Blue Period

Aleka's Attic's song 'Blue Period' delves into the profound and often overwhelming emotions associated with sadness, loss, and the feeling of being disconnected. The recurring motif of 'blue' throughout the lyrics symbolizes a deep, pervasive melancholy. The imagery of falling into ice and feeling a chill that embraces another person conveys a sense of emotional numbness and isolation. This blue period is not just a fleeting moment but a significant phase that impacts the narrator deeply.

The lyrics also explore themes of trust and the lack thereof. The lines 'Most of us know where to go when we need someone' and 'I'm a fool, too out of reach, I believe no one' highlight the narrator's struggle with finding solace and connection. This sense of being out of reach and unable to trust others exacerbates the feeling of loneliness. The song suggests that this emotional distance could lead to the end of a relationship, as indicated by the lines 'This change could be the death of you and me.'

The metaphor of a 'blue period' as the end of a sentence poignantly captures the finality and sadness of the situation. The 'ghost that wears your clothes' represents the lingering presence of someone who is emotionally or physically absent, further emphasizing the theme of loss. The song's haunting melody and introspective lyrics create a powerful narrative about the struggles of dealing with deep emotional pain and the impact it has on relationships and self-perception.
