Carr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tracing tattoos on your torso
With my middle finger
Let it linger
And food we saved for later
Best behavior
Dim the lights a little
Light my cigarette
I’ll hold my breath
Make it last a little longer
Make this vibe a little stronger
[PreHook]
Stupid lover’s paradise
Hands in pocket
Pocket knives
Skipping town and catching flights
But I loved it
Loved every single minute
Yeah I loved it
Loved every single minute (minute)
[Hook]
Chasing you was hot like
Too long in the sunlight
Ducking from the blue lights
And smoke from your gun
Held me I held you tight
When’s it gonna end, like?
I could keep you close
But never too close to run
[Verse II]
Blood on my hands
Blood on the knife
I did it for you
I’m in it for life
On the run cross statelines
Cross your heart I’ll cross my mine
Broken bottle promises
Told you I’d be honest when
It became too much
But I love you too much
>PreHook
>Hook
[Bridge]
Nothing left to lose or hide
Running with you by my side
Playing catch me if you can
Nothing left to lose or hide
Running with you by my side
Playing catch me if you can
>Hook
The lyrics of Carr's song "Blue" depict a passionate and intense relationship filled with adrenaline and danger. In the first verse, the singer traces tattoos on their lover's torso, teasingly using their middle finger. The image of a mattress on the floor suggests a spontaneous and carefree existence, while mentioning saving food for later hints at their unpredictable lifestyle. As the lights dim and the singer lights a cigarette, there is a sense of anticipation and desire. They want to savor every moment, making the connection between them stronger.
The pre-hook describes their relationship as a "stupid lover's paradise." Despite the potential risks and pitfalls, the singer romanticizes their experiences together. They reminisce about the excitement of skipping town and catching flights, implying a life on the run. The hook continues this theme, comparing the chase of their relationship to the intensity of being exposed to too much sunlight and evading blue lights (symbolizing the authorities). It acknowledges the feeling of being trapped in a dangerous situation, yet still holding on tightly to each other.
In the second verse, the lyrics become more explicit about the risks involved. The mention of blood on the hands and a knife suggests that the singer has done something for their lover, perhaps even resorting to violence. They declare their loyalty, stating that they are in it for life and willing to cross state lines for their partner. The broken bottle promises symbolize the singer's failed attempts to be honest when the pressure became overwhelming, but they still love their partner too much to let go.
The bridge reinforces the idea that there is nothing left to lose or hide. They are running together, playing a dangerous game of catch me if you can. This further emphasizes the theme of a tumultuous and risky relationship that they are fully committed to.
Overall, "Blue" by Carr explores the dark and thrilling aspects of a passionate love affair, where danger and loyalty collide. The lyrics capture the intensity and longing of a relationship that is both exhilarating and potentially destructive.

And smoke from your gun
Symbolizing the danger and risk associated with your presence in my life
Held me I held you tight
Clutching onto each other for both comfort and safety in our tumultuous journey
When’s it gonna end, like?
Wondering about the duration and inevitable conclusion of our passionate but unsustainable relationship
I could keep you close
Desiring to maintain our connection, but with a cautious distance
But never too close to run
Not allowing myself to be bound by the consequences and entanglements of our love
Blood on my hands
Accepting responsibility for my actions and the sacrifices I made for our relationship
Blood on the knife
Acknowledging the violence and harm I caused in the name of love
I did it for you
Justifying my actions by claiming they were driven by my love for you
I’m in it for life
Committing myself fully and indefinitely to our relationship, despite its darkness
On the run cross statelines
Escaping the consequences of our actions and crossing boundaries in search of freedom
Cross your heart I’ll cross my mine
Making promises to each other, hoping to trust and rely on one another
Broken bottle promises
Recognizing that our vows and commitments have been shattered and are no longer trustworthy
Told you I’d be honest when
Promising you honesty and transparency in our relationship, but failing to deliver
It became too much
When our love reached its breaking point and became overwhelming
But I love you too much
Despite the challenges and pain, my love for you remains strong and unwavering
Nothing left to lose or hide
Leaving behind any inhibitions or secrets as we embrace our turbulent journey together
Running with you by my side
Facing the consequences and risks together, finding solace in our companionship
Playing catch me if you can
Indulging in a game of elusiveness and excitement, challenging others to capture our love

Nesquik Guy: This is a poem that I wrote while listening to Enya's "Orinoco Flow":
THE DOVE AND ME
I lifted my hand
A dove landed on it
And I asked it
“Where have you been?
Have you been east to the sunrise?
Have you been west to the sunset?
Have you been up into the sky
Where it's noon and midnight?”
The dove looked at me,
Then out to sea
And said, “I have seen
A world of wonder
That you've only dreamed of.
I have seen the fountains of the sun
And the frozen glaciers of the moon.
If only you had wings
So that you could go where I go.”
I sadly shook my head
And sat down on a rock,
Watching the waves flow onto the beach
Only to stop inches from me,
And then slip back into the sea,
An endless pattern like eternity.
“I have no wings,” I said.
“I only have my imagination.”
And the dove said, “Silly human.
Did you think that I meant wings
Like mine, covered with feathers?”
“Didn't you?” I asked.
“Of course not,” the dove said.
“Now imagine your arms are wings.”
I did and they were.
“Now imagine that you're lifting them,”
The dove said. “Now sweep down
And jump into the sky.”
I did and I was suddenly
Rising above where I'd sat.
“Now come with me,” the dove said.
“There are thousands of places
That I have been to, places
That I want to show you.”
I did and we did.
“Is this what heaven is like?” I asked.
"Where did you think we were?” the dove asked.
"But what about my body?” I asked.
“You won't need it anymore,” the dove said.
And I didn't.
