Deja Blue
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sayin' she don't want me no more
As her tires are a squealin'
Lord I get this funny feelin'
That I've been in this position before
A different time another flame
Still it's spooky how it seems the same
Deja blue
Deja blue
Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain
That this cryin' and a hurtin'
Is somethin' I've already been through
Oh Lordy here I go again
Tell me will it ever end
Same ol' fool
Nothin' new
Deja blue
Now it started in the second grade
With little blondie what's her name
I toted all her books
And gave her long and gooshy looks
And all she wanted was my brother Jay
That first time nearly done me in
But I've been there a hundred times since then
[Chorus: x2]
Same ol' fool
Nothin' new
Deja blue
The song "Deja Blue" by Billy Ray Cyrus is a country ballad that deals with the familiar yet painful feeling of heartbreak. The lyrics describe the singer's ongoing experience of losing a lover, expressed through a clever play on words that implies he has been through this before. When the woman leaves him, he feels a strange sensation – a feeling of familiarity that he just can't shake off. The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "Deja Blue," highlights this recurring theme of deja vu.
The song contrasts the emotional intensity of heartbreak with the monotony of a predictable pattern. The singer's recollection of his first experience of heartbreak is followed by the suggestion that he has been through the same heartache a hundred times since. This repetitive heartbreak is symbolized by the term "deja blue" that implies the same old heartache in a new package. The song conveys a sense of resignation and a fatalistic attitude towards love – the idea that the same cycle of heartbreak will just continue in the future.
Overall, "Deja Blue" is a melancholic take on heartbreak that uses wry humor and insightful lyrics to convey a sense of familiar emotional experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
Now as she's walking out the door
As she leaves, I feel a sense of familiarity
Sayin' she don't want me no more
She is informing me that our relationship is over
As her tires are a squealin'
As she drives away, I hear the sound of her tires on the road
Lord I get this funny feelin'
I have an unusual sensation in my body
That I've been in this position before
I have experienced a similar situation in the past
A different time another flame
In a previous relationship, it was a different person
Still it's spooky how it seems the same
Despite the differences, there are certain similarities
Deja blue
Feeling like I've experienced this emotional pain before
Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain
I am quite sure of my feeling
That this cryin' and a hurtin'
The sadness and pain I am feeling
Is somethin' I've already been through
I have experienced this before
Oh Lordy here I go again
I feel like I am going through the same thing again
Tell me will it ever end
I wonder if this cycle of emotional pain will ever stop
Now it started in the second grade
This pattern of unrequited love started when I was in the second grade
With little blondie what's her name
A particular girl whom I do not remember clearly
I toted all her books
I carried all her books for her
And gave her long and gooshy looks
I stared at her in a loving and admiring way
And all she wanted was my brother Jay
She did not want me, she wanted my brother instead
That first time nearly done me in
The first time this happened, it hurt me badly
But I've been there a hundred times since then
But I have experienced this same situation many times since then
Same ol' fool
I am still making the same mistakes
Nothin' new
This is not a new experience for me
Deja blue
Feeling like I have already felt this sadness and pain before
