Sweet Thing
Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A cute thing with the whole world
In the palm of her hand
Blonde hair like a daisy
Never fail to amaze me
She got her roots in the sun
A small town all that girl
Innocence of a flower
She'd say a lot without saying much
She knew the value don't care for price
Workin' a Macintosh '90
Don't blend when she's with her friends, she hit the slopes all alone in the car again
Gettin paler as weeks pass
But you're just a sweet girl
A cute thing with the whole world
In the palm of her hand
Blonde hair like a daisy
Never fail to amaze me
The angel on my shoulder
You've just had too much to think without having any time to get yourself a drink
No slowin' down
Don't cut it, just gum the 'ye, healthier noses could be built out of paper mache
Still don't slow down
You're waiting for your pink sunrise
When it'll be just you in the light
Tried looking good for your last show
Prettiest girl inside the funeral home
But you're just a sweet girl
A cute thing with the whole world
In the palm of her hand
Blonde hair like a daisy
Never fail to amaze me
The angel on my shoulder
The lyrics of the Blue's song Sweet Thing are a tribute to a charming girl who seems to have the world at her feet. The singer describes her as a sweet, innocent and cute girl who has the power to amaze anyone with her simplicity and natural beauty. Her blonde hair is compared to a daisy, and she is said to bloom even in difficult circumstances. The girl is rooted in her small-town upbringing and has the innocence and fragility of a flower, yet she exudes confidence and resilience. The singer admires her personality, how she can say a lot without saying much, and her ability to value things for what they are and not their price.
The second part of the song delves into the girl's struggles, with the singer painting a picture of a young woman who is overworked and overwhelmed. She is constantly on the move, without even having time to hydrate herself or slow down. Her nose is overused, to the point where it could be built from paper mache. However, despite all the chaos surrounding her, she holds on to the hope of a better tomorrow. She longs to see a pink sunrise, where she can bask in the light and reflect on her life. Even in the end, when dressed for a funeral, the singer can still see the beauty in her.
Overall, the song Sweet Thing is a heart-warming ode to a beautiful girl who remains sweet and charming, despite the trials and tribulations of life. It is a reminder to celebrate the simple things in life, to value our roots, and to stay hopeful even in the darkest of times.
