Navy Blue
Choking Amber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to think on all of this and how you don't.
Damn it's hard to find sustenance when all I had was love for this and now you don't.
Now I just abuse substances to drown out your accomplishments, however few.
All of this frustrates me bad cause I can't stay mad at you or change anything that I had.
She told me don't think like that, it's really not that bad.
I hope this makes you sad
If it's something serious then hit me up but until then the door is shut, forget my room.
And if I had a match for every lie and every attempt to deny, I'd strike a few.
I am the walls, the silent halls. My jacket at your sisters wedding, navy blue.
All of this frustrates me bad cause I can't stay mad at you or change anything that I had.
She told me don't think like that, it's really not that bad.
I hope this makes you sad
I hope this makes you sad.
The lyrics of Navy Blue by Choking Amber explore themes of hurt, regret, and frustration. The opening line, "I bet it hurts to read permanence," suggests that the singer has moved on from a past relationship while the other person is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that it is over for good. The line "Damn it's hard to find sustenance when all I had was love for this and now you don't" highlights the struggle to move on when their world revolved around the love that has now been lost.
The second half of the song delves into the coping mechanisms that the singer has developed to deal with the pain. The line "Now I just abuse substances to drown out your accomplishments, however few" suggests that the singer uses drugs or alcohol to numb the pain of seeing their former lover move on and succeed without them. The chorus repeats the frustration the singer feels at not being able to stay mad or change anything, juxtaposed with the hope that their ex-partner feels pain for what they have lost.
In the final verse, the singer talks about cutting ties with their ex-partner, closing the door on them until they are ready to deal with their emotions. The line "I am the walls, the silent halls. My jacket at your sisters wedding, navy blue" suggests the singer feels like they are invisible, unable to escape the memories of their past relationship, even in situations such as a family wedding. The final chorus repeats the message that the singer hopes their ex-partner feels the pain they are experiencing.

This is a cover he doesn't have to make it sound exactly like the original version, he put his own twists to it and it sounds great. Good job mate
