Embracing Change and Self-Discovery in 'Why So Blue'

In 'Why So Blue,' Steven Universo delves into themes of self-discovery, emotional growth, and the complexities of personal transformation. The song opens with a poignant question, 'Why so blue?' which sets the tone for an introspective journey. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of sorrow and confusion, as the protagonist grapples with various shades of sadness that have colored their life. However, amidst this melancholy, there is a glimmer of hope and a desire to break free from the emotional constraints that have held them back.

The song's narrative progresses as the protagonist expresses fatigue from constant fighting and blame, symbolized by the metaphor of a mirror as a prison and fusion as a similar form of entrapment. These metaphors suggest a struggle with identity and the pressure to conform to external expectations. The mention of 'new sensations' that are 'deep as the roaring ocean' and 'free as the atmosphere' signifies a burgeoning sense of liberation and the discovery of a more authentic self. This newfound freedom is both exhilarating and overwhelming, as the protagonist navigates uncharted emotional territories.

Steven Universo's lyrical exploration of these themes resonates deeply, offering a message of hope and empowerment to anyone on a journey of self-discovery.
