Blue World
Brady Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretending that the world is blue
And you see red when I explain
That I don't share your point of view
Well I say open up your eyes
For the world is like a rainbow
And maybe blue is just the colour
Of the world inside of you
That's not my world
I don't want to paint your picture
I ain't here to sing your sorrows
Ain't got time to be your hero
I don't want to be your poet
Chorus
Everybody feel the same pain
Everybody doing time
I can't be the one you're needing
I can just be who I am
Who I am
We all want a world
With a perfect constitution
Believe me, we all want it now
Don't want to wait another day
And maybe if this world's to change
It's going to take a revolution
But in the meantime, be my friend
And don't turn your head away
For your kind of blue world
That's not my world
I don't want to paint your picture
I don't want to write your dreams
I ain't here to sing your sorrows
Your blue world is not my scene
Ain't got time to be your hero
You can tell me that's a crime
I don't want to be your poet
Crying out your ancient rhyme
The singer in Brady Paul's "Blue World" is known for his honesty and his refusal to sugarcoat his words to please others. In this song, he addresses a person who insists on seeing the world as blue, whereas he can't relate to that view. He encourages the person to broaden their perspective and see the world as a kaleidoscope of colours, rather than living in a blue bubble. However, he reaffirms that he cannot be the person the individual is looking for, as he cannot fit the mold of a hero or a poet for them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that everyone goes through similar experiences of pain and suffering, and that he cannot be the one to fix everything for the individual. He can only be himself, and hopes that they can be friends despite their differing views. The bridge captures the desire for a better world, but reminds the listener that change takes time and sometimes requires a revolution.
Line by Line Meaning
There you go again
You're repeating your behavior
Pretending that the world is blue
Acting like the world is sad and gloomy
And you see red when I explain
You get angry when I tell you my perspective
That I don't share your point of view
I have a different opinion than you do
Well I say open up your eyes
I suggest that you broaden your understanding
For the world is like a rainbow
The world is full of diverse and colorful things
And maybe blue is just the colour
Perhaps sadness is just a feeling
Of the world inside of you
It's something that comes from within yourself
But that kind of blue world
The way you see the world as sad
That's not my world
That's not how I perceive the world
I don't want to paint your picture
I don't want to describe things from your perspective
I ain't here to sing your sorrows
I'm not here to lament with you
Ain't got time to be your hero
I don't have time to fix everything for you
I don't want to be your poet
I don't want to be the one to tell your story
Everybody feel the same pain
Everyone experiences pain at some point
Everybody doing time
Everyone is living one day at a time
I can't be the one you're needing
I can't solve all of your problems for you
I can just be who I am
I can only be myself
Who I am
My identity
We all want a world
Everyone desires a better world
With a perfect constitution
With a flawless set of laws and principles
Believe me, we all want it now
We all want it immediately
Don't want to wait another day
Don't want to delay progress
And maybe if this world's to change
If this world is going to improve
It's going to take a revolution
It will require a major societal shift
But in the meantime, be my friend
In the meantime, let's be friends
And don't turn your head away
Don't ignore the world's problems
For your kind of blue world
The way you see the world as unhappy
That's not my world
That's not how I perceive the world
I don't want to paint your picture
I don't want to describe things from your perspective
I don't want to write your dreams
I don't want to describe your aspirations
I ain't here to sing your sorrows
I'm not here to lament with you
Your blue world is not my scene
I'm not interested in a world full of sadness
Ain't got time to be your hero
I don't have time to solve all of your problems
You can tell me that's a crime
You may disagree with me
I don't want to be your poet
I'm not interested in writing about your experiences
Crying out your ancient rhyme
Describing your old stories or traditions
