Feelin' Blue
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it up, is it down, is it here
And what, do you see, in the dark
Is it real, is it me, are you scared
Do you believe in yourself
Are you good, are you bad, are you there
And can you confess to the morning light
And be true, what to do
When it's you, feelin' blue
When it's you, feelin' blue
Tell me truth, if you can
Do you know, who you are
In a dream
Do you forget, when you open
your eyes, and you lose, what to do
When it's you, feelin' blue
When it's you, feelin' blue
Do you believe in yourself
Are you good, are you bad, are you there
Just leave it alone, let it go
Will you see, will you wait, has it gone
Then why, do you sleep in your chair
No there's not much to do
When it's you, feelin' blue
When it's you, feelin' blue
The lyrics of Earth Wind & Fire's song "Feelin' Blue" explores the feelings of confusion, uncertainty and vulnerability that arise when one is lost or feeling blue. The singer asks rhetorical questions to the listener, asking where they go when they are lost, and whether they see reality or just their own fears. They ask if the listener knows who they are in a dream or if they forget themselves when they wake up. The lyrics seem to address a deeper level of introspection and reflection of oneself.
The chorus of the song asks the listener to confess to the morning light and to be true to oneself. The questions continue, asking whether the listener believes in themselves and whether they are good, bad or just present. The song ultimately ends on a note of resignation and acceptance, urging the listener to let it go and move forward.

Do you believe in yourself
Do you have trust in your own capabilities and sense of self-worth?
Are you good, are you bad, are you there
Do you feel like you're a good person, or do you doubt your own morality and reliability? Do you feel present in your own life or disconnected from it?
And can you confess to the morning light
Are you able to acknowledge the truth about yourself and your feelings, even when it feels scary or vulnerable to do so?

Do you know, who you are
Do you have a clear sense of identity and purpose in life, or do you feel lost and directionless?
In a dream

Do you forget, when you open your eyes, and you lose, what to do
Do you ever feel like you forget your purpose and direction when faced with the harshness of reality?
Just leave it alone, let it go
Sometimes the best thing to do is to stop trying so hard and let things unfold on their own. Don't force things that aren't meant to be.
Will you see, will you wait, has it gone
If you step back and give things time, will you be able to see more clearly what's happening? Should you wait to see what unfolds, or is it already gone?
Then why, do you sleep in your chair
Are you so overwhelmed by life that you can't even muster the energy to stand up and take action?
No there's not much to do
When you're feeling trapped and hopeless, it can seem like there's nothing you can do to make things better.
When it's you, feelin' blue
When you're feeling sad and lost, what can you do to feel better?
