Blue Mind
AlexiMurdoch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got no mind
For the line
In my life
No time to think
Time for sleep now
Time to sink way into the blue, dear
Got no mind
For the line
In this life
No time to think
Time for sleep now
Time to sink way into the blue, dear
So watch your time
Time descends
Let it spill quietly
From your hands
Oh, and the time is at hand
When all things under the sky
Go free of time
Time is passing you by
Got no time
And I am drifting
Yes, I am drifting
Remember when you were only a child
Remember when you were only a child
Remember when you were only a child
Start to see with your blue mind
Start to see with your blue mind
Don't be afraid of what you find
No, don't be afraid of what you find
(Don't stop your heart)
'Cause I am drifting
Yes, I am drifting
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
Yes, slowly, slowly I am drifting
The song "Blue Mind" by Alexi Murdoch is a melancholic reflection on the feeling of being lost in time and space, and the anxiety that comes with it. The opening lines "Got no time, got no mind for the line in my life" paint a picture of someone feeling overwhelmed and lost, unable to focus or find direction. The repetition of the lines "No time to think, time for sleep now, time to sink way into the blue, dear" creates a sense of resignation, as if the singer has given up on trying to make sense of things and is simply surrendering to the void.
The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, urging us to "start to see with your blue mind" and "don't be afraid of what you find." The term "blue mind" refers to a state of calm and peacefulness that comes from being near or in bodies of water, which can induce a meditative state and help to clear the mind. In this context, it could also represent a state of clarity that comes from accepting the unknown and letting go of the need for control.
The last lines of the song emphasize the theme of drifting and losing oneself: "slowly, slowly I am drifting." The repeated use of this phrase adds to the feeling of being adrift in time and space, but also suggests a sense of surrender and acceptance. Overall, "Blue Mind" is a haunting meditation on the human condition, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that can often feel overwhelming and chaotic.

From your hands
Without trying to hold onto it too tightly.
Oh, and the time is at hand
The moment has arrived.
When all things under the sky
When everything in this world.
Go free of time
Is released from the constraints of time.
Time is passing you by
Time is moving forward without you.
And I am drifting
I am aimlessly roaming without direction.
Remember when you were only a child
Think back to when you were young and carefree.
Start to see with your blue mind
Start to see things through your emotional lens rather than your logical one.
Don't be afraid of what you find
Don't be scared of what your emotions might reveal to you.
(Don't stop your heart)
Don't close off your emotions.
'Cause I am drifting
I am still wandering without direction.
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
I am drifting aimlessly and gradually.
Yes, slowly, slowly I am drifting
I continue to drift without any sense of control.

There once is a paradise blue
within One bright spectral blue view, for love ever after all blue, here is blue's story made You
Before the first dawning in time, arouses each moment of mind
Whatever that dawning does find, shall always be blue by design
That dawning makes morning its place, for those who awake to blue space
Adorning that dawning blue face, with blue skin so- colored by grace
For each whose blue mind comes to see, that first night as blue as can be
Sleep-drifting in blue reverie
Shall dream and dream blue is made Me

Our lives are but a whisper in eternity. There is only one truth - love. Love yourself, your family, your neighbors. No exceptions. Above all love the one who created it all. Itâs what this whole experience is about. Simple really. Thank you Alexi for this beautiful reminder â€ïž
