Blue Skies
BT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah yeah yeahhhhhhh
Those blue skies are ahead.
Blue skies are in my head.

All the town clocks
And marching soldier's socks.
I say, "Let's go, let's go, let's go
To this magic wonder show".

And I'm walking,
And crawling,
And so tired I'm insane.
I, I, I, I
I, I, I see

Blue skies are in my head.
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
(Blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are in my head".
(Blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".

Beachwood
Says he'd like you in the street
So like you in the street
In the lullabies.

Just when she sings
Like you in the street
So like you in the street
In the lullabies.

You can go just where she's going...
Blue skies are in my head.
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
(Blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are in my head".
(Blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".

Need a little joy,
Need a little joy,
Need a little joy,
And I have a baby boy
And need a little joy,
Need a little joy,
Need a little joy and some dancing,
Need a little joy,
Come on baby boy,
Come on blue skies.
Blue skies, oh say blue skies are in my...

Blue skies are in my head.
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
(Blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are in my head".
(Blue skies are in my head)




I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
(repeat out)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to BT's song "Blue Skies" depict an individual who is yearning for positivity and brightness in their life. They speak of those blue skies ahead and how they are in their head, indicating that the singer is optimistic about their future despite the challenges they are experiencing in the present. The singer references town clocks and marching soldier's socks, symbols of the steady march of time, perhaps to communicate a sense of the monotony and mundanity they are experiencing. They then urge listeners to join a "magic wonder show," an invitation to step away from the daily grind and embrace a more fanciful and hopeful perspective.


The lyrics go on to reference Beachwood and someone who "likes you in the street," suggesting perhaps a romantic interest, or someone who sees potential in the singer. The stanza "just when she sings, like you in the street, so like you in the street, in the lullabies" is more enigmatic, but could be seen as a loving tribute or an expression of a yearning for emotional connection. The song concludes with the singer expressing their desire for joy, and declaring that they have a baby boy - a symbol of new beginnings and the potential for growth and prosperity. The repetition of the phrases "need a little joy," and "blue skies are in my head" emphasises the singer's persistent optimism and their determination to find happiness in their life.
