Blue Mind
Alexi Murdoch/Alexi Murdoch 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 lyrics in Alexi Murdoch's "Blue Mind" seem to reference a sense of listlessness or disconnection from the world around the singer. He repeatedly declares that he has "no time" and "no mind", indicating that he is either actively avoiding deep thoughts or simply unable to engage with the world in a meaningful way. He tells himself that it is time to sleep and "sink way into the blue", a phrase that might mean anything from falling into a peaceful rest to submitting to the crushing weight of depression. The repetition of these phrases contributes to a sense of inertia, as if the singer has resigned himself to drifting without purpose.
However, there is also a glimmer of optimism in the lyrics. The singer urges listeners to "start to see with your blue mind" and not to be afraid of what they find there. This could be interpreted as a call to embrace a sense of introspection or mindfulness, perhaps in order to break out of the numbness that the singer is experiencing. The final lines about "drifting" could be seen as either a continuation of this listlessness or a more positive acceptance of movement and change.
Overall, the meaning of "Blue Mind" may be somewhat ambiguous, but it seems to be a meditation on the struggle to find meaning in a confusing and overwhelming world.

Got no time
I am too busy to focus on anything else
Got no mind
My mind is preoccupied with other things
For the line
For the linear path that society expects me to follow
In my life
In the life I am currently living
No time to think
I don't have the luxury to contemplate life's philosophical questions
Time for sleep now
It's time to rest my mind and body
Time to sink way into the blue, dear
It's time to embrace a state of tranquility and relaxation
So watch your time
Be mindful of how you spend your time
Time descends
Time marches on whether we choose to acknowledge it or not
Let it spill quietly
Don't let time control you, but instead learn to go with its flow
From your hands
We are all responsible for how we choose to use our time
Oh, and the time is at hand
The moment has come to make a decision about how you will use your time
When all things under the sky
When everything in the world
Go free of time
Rise above the constraints that time imposes
Time is passing you by
Don't waste your time on things that don't matter
Remember when you were only a child
Reflect on the time in your life when things were simpler
Start to see with your blue mind
View the world in a state of calm and relaxation
Don't be afraid of what you find
Don't be frightened of discovering your true self
(Don't stop your heart)
(Don't be too guarded in your self-discovery)
'Cause I am drifting
I am living my life without a specific plan
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
I am taking my time in deciding where life will take me

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
