Blue

Monaco's song "Blue" delves into the emotional turbulence and existential uncertainties that many people face. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of insecurity and doubt, with lines like "When I feel so insecure / And it all seems so unsure / And my mind is miles away." These words capture the essence of feeling lost and disconnected from oneself and the world. The song's melancholic tone is further emphasized by the recurring theme of bad luck and the struggle to find words to express these feelings, as seen in "When I'm down and can't get up / And I've just run out of luck / And there's nothing else to say."

Despite the pervasive sense of despair, the song introduces a glimmer of hope through the presence of a significant other. The lines "And all the while / You keep me holding on / Though I feel like my life is nearly gone" suggest that love serves as an anchor, providing stability and a reason to keep going even when life feels overwhelming. This relationship is portrayed as a source of strength and comfort, helping the narrator navigate through life's absurdities and fears.

The song also touches on the idea of living in dreams and the surreal nature of existence. The lyrics "So scary though it seems / That you live your life in dreams / And there's nothing left to cry for" reflect a sense of disillusionment with reality, yet also hint at the power of dreams and aspirations. Ultimately, the song concludes on a hopeful note, with the narrator recognizing the importance of their partner and the potential for a new beginning: "Though I look at you / And know that you're the one / All I want to say (is) / Our lives have just begun." This ending suggests that love can provide a fresh start and a renewed sense of purpose, even in the face of life's uncertainties.
