Azure
Alex Maguire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In an Azure mood,
Stardust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;
By the dreams I own;
But, though Im tormented
I must be contented
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood!
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Star dust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude!
The lyrics to Alex Maguire's song Azure evoke a sense of moodiness and loneliness. The singer is lost in his thoughts, and the only companionship he has is his imagination. He's dreaming and drifting, lost in an azure-colored world that he's created in his mind. The word "Azure" usually denotes a bright blue color or a serene, calming mood. However, the singer doesn't seem at peace, and his solitude is reflected in the song's melancholic tone.
The singer's dreams seem to be both a comfort and a curse to him. He owns them, but they also torment him, causing him to feel haunted and lonely. However, despite his torment, he has learned to be content with the solitude his imagination provides him. The concept of the blue illusion in his interlude suggests that he knows his dream world isn't real, but it's a space where he can escape and, for a while, forget his torments.
Overall, the song Azure is a melancholic and contemplative piece. It reflects on the idea that dreams can both comfort and torment us and that sometimes, in our solitude, we can find contentment.

Driftin' Dreamin'
I am aimlessly floating and lost in my thoughts
In an Azure mood,
I am feeling calm and peaceful, as if surrounded by a clear blue sky
Stardust gleamin'
My mind is full of dazzling and beautiful memories
Thru my solitude:
In my loneliness, these memories surround and comfort me
Here in my seclusion,
In isolation, I have created a world of my own
You're a blue illusion
I have created a fantasy of love that is not real
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
In this moment of calm, I am living in my fantasy world
I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;
I feel unwanted and rejected, and am overwhelmed by loneliness
Always haunted
The memories of past experiences continue to linger in my mind
By the dreams I own;
The fantasies I have created continue to haunt me
But, though Im tormented
Despite my pain and suffering
I must be contented
I must learn to find happiness and peace within myself
Driftin' Dreamin'
Continuing to float and dream
In an Azure mood!
Living in a peaceful, calm state surrounded by blue
Driftin' Dreamin'
Continuing to float and dream
In an Azure mood,
Living in a peaceful, calm state surrounded by blue
Star dust gleamin'
My memories are still shining and beautiful
Thru my solitude:
Still surrounded by these memories in my lonely state
Here in my seclusion,
Still living in my separate world
You're a blue illusion
My fantasy of love that does not exist
While I'm in this Azure interlude!
Still living in this moment of peace and calm in my own world
