Endless Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's what I needed
And so easily you helped relieve my fear
That you don't want me
That you don't need me
Now I catch you sneaking out with her
The other woman, your little mistress
All those promises you said you'd never break
After all these miles and all these trials
All my footprints are filled with sand
And I start running faster but I can't get past her
She's taking you by the hand
Love, I thought we were in
I thought we meant it
When you told me that you'd always stay right here
I feel so lonely, I feel so empty
How could I let you make a fool of me?
The little martyr, the giving mother
Now you think you're someone you could never be
After all these miles and all these trials
All my footprints are filled with sand
And I start running faster but I can't get past her
She's taking you by the hand
And I fall behind you
I fall into blue
Tears that fill my hands
And you never called back
You never saw that I was sinking into the sand
After all these miles and all these trials
All my footprints are filled with sand
And I start running faster but I can't get past her
She's taking you by the hand
The other woman, your little mistress
All those promises you said you'd never break
My whole being and my whole vision
Now I catch you sneaking out with her
The other woman, your little mistress
All those promises you said you'd never break
My whole being and my whole vision
Now I catch you living my life with her
In these lyrics, the singer expresses their disappointment and heartbreak over their significant other cheating on them with another woman. They reference their desire for faith and need for their partner, only to be let down and betrayed. The singer acknowledges their feelings of loneliness and emptiness, and reflects on how they let their partner make a fool of them by straying to someone else. They continue to try and move on, but ultimately feel like they are falling behind as their partner continues to be with the other woman.
One interpretation of these lyrics is that the singer is feeling a sense of loss and betrayal from their partner, who they had trusted and believed would stay with them. The line "All those promises you said you'd never break" emphasizes the hurt that comes from a broken promise and shattered trust. The repetition of "the other woman, your little mistress" also emphasizes the betrayal and the feeling of being replaced in the relationship.
Another possible interpretation is that the singer is realizing that their partner was never truly committed to them, and perhaps used them as a temporary fix until finding someone else. The line "Now you think you're someone you could never be" highlights the singer's discovery that their partner was not the person they thought they were.

Thank you! And it is a true story. I remember playing this for the person it was about, and it brought her (and us) to tears.
