Blue

BoyWithUke's song 'Blue' is a poignant exploration of melancholy, introspection, and the struggle to maintain one's identity amidst emotional turmoil. The recurring motif of the color blue serves as a symbol for the artist's preference and state of mind, representing both a sense of calm and sadness. The lyrics suggest a deep connection to the color, extending it to various elements of the artist's life, such as his room and the eyes of a loved one. However, the blue is contrasted with the 'grey' skies, indicating a presence of depression or gloom that pervades his daily life.

The song delves into the theme of emotional conflict, as the artist grapples with the pain of a relationship and the challenge of staying true to oneself. The ocean, often a symbol of freedom and possibility, is described as deceitful, reflecting the artist's feeling of being trapped or misled by his own emotions. The struggle 'to be myself despite this weather' is a metaphor for the internal battle against the oppressive feelings that threaten to change or overwhelm his identity.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics become more introspective and reveal a sense of self-protection. The artist speaks of keeping someone away from his heart to prevent harm, and the imagery of 'teeth along my arms' suggests a defensive posture. The desire to 'write the wrongs' indicates a wish to correct past mistakes and perhaps reconcile, but there is also an acknowledgment of the difficulty in doing so. The repeated line 'I tried so hard to be myself despite this weather' underscores the central struggle of the song: maintaining one's sense of self in the face of emotional adversity.
