These White Lights Will Bend to Make Blue
Azure Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just get on the interstate
And slip through this closing gate
Pulled into this cheap hotel
I called just to wish you well
You said don't let love break you down
Well just show me how
And let me never be broken
Tomorrow a new point of view
These white lights will bend to make blue
Now this can all look new to you
Are you still living there
Walking the streets with your hollow stare
You say there's loneliness everywhere
So we have nothing to loose
The music plays all day long
And sorrow looks beautiful
And lovers seem mystical
Tomorrow a new point of view
These bright lights will bend to make blue
Now this can all look new to you
The lyrics of "These White Lights Will Bend to Make Blue" by Azure Ray depict a person who is struggling with a sense of loneliness and despair. The opening lines "Drive away, just get on the interstate, and slip through this closing gate, pulled into this cheap hotel" suggest a feeling of aimlessness. The singer is trying to escape their current situation by getting away from it all, perhaps in the hopes of finding some clarity or direction.
The chorus of the song introduces a glimmer of hope, with the idea that tomorrow can bring a new perspective. The line "these white lights will bend to make blue" is a metaphor for how something that appears one way can transform into something else entirely when viewed from a different angle. This can be interpreted as a message of hope – that things can change for the better – or as a warning that even the most beautiful things can have a darker side.
The final stanza of the song suggests that the singer has found some solace in music. "The music plays all day long, and sorrow looks beautiful, and lovers seem mystical" hints at the transcendent power of art to bring us out of our own heads and connect us to something larger than ourselves. This is echoed in the final lines "now this can all look new to you" – a call to look at the world with fresh eyes, to find beauty and meaning in unexpected places.

Drive away
Leave this place and escape from everything
Just get on the interstate
Take the highway to go far away
And slip through this closing gate
Leave before it is too late to leave
Pulled into this cheap hotel
Arrived at an unexpensive place to stay
I called just to wish you well
I phoned you to say good things
You said don't let love break you down
You said do not let love hurt you
Well just show me how
Please, tell me how to do it
And let me never be broken
And may I never experience heartbreak
Tomorrow a new point of view
The next day might bring a different perspective
These white lights will bend to make blue
The current situation will change its appearance
Now this can all look new to you
Everything can look different after some time
Are you still living there
Are you still in the same place?
Walking the streets with your hollow stare
Wandering aimlessly with an empty gaze
You say there's loneliness everywhere
You state that there is loneliness all around
So we have nothing to lose
We should take risks since there is nothing else to lose
The music plays all day long
There is a constant soundtrack to our lives
And sorrow looks beautiful
Sadness can have an appealing aesthetic
And lovers seem mystical
People in love can appear magical
Tomorrow a new point of view
The future can offer a different outlook
These bright lights will bend to make blue
Things that seem bright now can turn sad later on
