Blues Singer
Diana Ah Naid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't like to be classified
I am not a blues singer
I just get blue sometimes
This time I'm not here to stay
I don't believe you or what you say
Are you so sure
Remember we've been here before
You stare through me all the time
Pretending to be blind
Ignorance is a crime
Your guilty and so am I
And it's not right
Your guilty and so am I
And I don't think it's right
I am not a blues singer
I don't like to be classified
I am not a blues singer
I just get blue sometimes
You're right, your right
I'm wrong you decide
Maybe I'm the one who's out of line
I'm stealing your excuse
I never had a reason to lose
I'm stealing your excuse
I never had a reason to lose
And this time I do
The lyrics of Diana Ah Naid's song Blues Singer reflect a sense of rebellion towards classification and a longing for authenticity.
