Blue
Ashmute Lyrics

The lyrics of Ashmute's "Blue" suggest feelings of emptiness, uncertainty and doubt in oneself. The singer seems to be questioning the purpose and direction of their existence, unsure of how to deal with the mundanity and repetition of life. The song begins with an admission that everything has been unremarkable until now, and that the singer worries about expressing unnecessary things that might hurt the other's feelings. The next few lines suggest that the singer expects the other person to provide guidance, but feels that they are lost and alone. As the chorus kicks in, the repetition of "blue" highlights a sense of melancholy and isolation that pervades the track, as if the sea that lies at the heart of the song's imagery represents an endless expanse of emptiness.

When the second verse opens, the singer reveals that they have been experiencing anxiety and are unsure whether this is normal or a unique part of who they are. The sense of inner turmoil culminates in the line "나만 이런 걸까요 나만 이런가 봐요" (Am I the only one feeling this way? Is this just how I am?), and the admission that they've been staying up all night to escape the monotony of existence. The pre-chorus that follows again returns to the idea of uncertainty around the relationship dynamic between the singer and the person they are addressing, ending with the declaration that "that's all there is". The final verse laments the fact that the singer doesn't feel beautiful, and has missed opportunities to enjoy life because they were too busy waiting for something to happen. The song then ends with a repetition of the chorus, full of resignation and resignation.
