Morning Final
Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the busy street
Said he was a junkie
And he punctuated his walk with a gun
Motiveless murder
The papers scream
The cops all said
Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad
Dark clouds are over the street
After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart
My heart beat
Down the subway stairs
After him they leapt
An echo snap and scream of fire
The hot pursuit was done
For the last time he felt the light
And gave up his last fight
Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad
Dark clouds are over the street
After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart
My heart beat
The lyrics of Blue's song "Morning Final" paints a picture of a chaotic scene in the streets where a man, who claims to be a junkie, is walking with a gun. The sorrowful tone of the lyrics is evident, as the man eventually commits a motiveless murder amidst a large, helpless crowd. The newspapers scream about the incident, and the police claim that the crowd was frozen by the sight. The imagery in the lines "Dark clouds are over the street" and "I can hardly feel my heart beat" further emphasize the gloominess and despair of the situation.
The second half of the song describes the aftermath of the incident. The man flees down the subway stairs, but the police pursue him. The chase ends in a catastrophic manner, with an "echo snap and scream of fire." The lyrics suggest that the man died in the ambush, and his fight was over forever. The final lines of the song serve as an introspection, making the listeners reflect on the tragedy and ask, "Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad?"
Overall, "Morning Final" portrays a sad, melancholic, and thought-provoking view of the aftermath of violence. It speaks volumes about the impact of crime in society and the sadness that it brings to everyone involved.
