Anthea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And provide a break from normality
Another day to celebrate
intimate things
Oh but it was just a dream
As real as it seems
So quietly yeah
I didn't hear a thing
The side of blue
And instantly I knew
The side of blue
Carefully I wait to see
Another way of being me
I know I am here too
Play a game of hide and seek
Oh but this is make believe
Emotional themes
So peacefully
This is where I'd rather be
And instantly I knew
The side of blue
And instantly I knew
The side of blue
Side of blue
Side of blue
Side of blue
Side of blue
I improvise
And provide a break from normality
Another day to celebrate
intimate things
Oh but it was just a dream
As real as it seems
So quietly yeah
I didn't hear a thing
And instantly I knew
The side of blue
And instantly I knew
The side of blue
The lyrics to Anthea's song "Side of Blue" seem to be about the complexity of emotions and the hidden parts of ourselves that we don't always show to the world. The singer talks about improvising and providing a break from normality, implying that perhaps she is often expected to fit into a certain mold or behave in a certain way. She then mentions wanting to celebrate intimate things, which suggests a desire for deeper connection and authenticity.
However, the mood shifts quickly as the singer realizes that her desires may only exist in a dream. She describes a feeling of knowing "the side of blue," which could be interpreted as a melancholic, introspective state of mind. This is reinforced by later lines about playing a game of hide and seek and emotional themes.
