About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it's in and outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it's in and outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
The lyrics to Eiffel 65's song Blue depict the story of a little guy living in a world where everything is blue, both inside and out. His house is blue, as is his Corvette, and even the people around him seem blue. The lyrics also reveal that this little guy is feeling very isolated and alone, as he claims to have nobody to listen to him. The song repeats the phrase "da ba dee da ba daa" frequently, which seems to represent the sound of the little guy's sadness and loneliness.
The color blue is symbolically associated with feelings of sadness and melancholy, and this is reflected in the melancholy tone of the music and lyrics in this song. The repeated "da ba dee da ba daa" seems to convey a sense of monotony and hopelessness that is often associated with depression. However, despite the bleak and monotonous portrayal of this blue world, the song somehow manages to be catchy and upbeat.
One interpretation of these lyrics is that they are a commentary on the state of modern society, where people are becoming increasingly isolated and disconnected from one another despite being more connected than ever through technology. The song suggests that even in a world where everything is connected through the color blue, there can still be a sense of disconnection and loneliness.
