Doubtful Comforts
Blue Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Will you take me our somewhere?
You
and I, we need a change of view
We can't just sit and stare
The lyrics of Blue Roses's song Doubtful Comforts convey a sense of longing and restlessness in a relationship. The singer is expressing a desire to break the monotony of everyday life and to shake things up by going out and doing something different with their partner. There is a feeling of uncertainty and doubt about the current state of their relationship represented through the use of the phrase "doubtful comforts".
These lyrics are written in a very poetic and evocative way, with the use of metaphors such as "we can't just sit and stare". The singer is looking to escape the routines and patterns of daily life, which are represented through the monotony of "sitting and staring". The idea of a change of view suggests that the singer is seeking something more than just a physical change of scenery but a deeper change or rekindling of their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of Doubtful Comforts are powerful and poignant, expressing a sense of longing for a deeper connection and a desire to break free from the constraints of everyday life.

When you come home tonight my love
Will you take me out somewhere?
You're so good at getting my hopes up
Where they don't belong
I can't reach them
This is the view that appears in my mind
Covered with orange lights
That I've seen countless times
When can we find a place where we'll stay for a while?
'Till we come back in style
Oh, they don't know the half of it
Oh, crumble and fall
You don't have to carry the weight of it all
