Blue Monday
Flunky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you've laid your hands upon me and told me who you are.
I thought I was mistaken, I thought I heard your words.
Tell me how do I feel. Tell me now, how do I feel.
Those who came before me lived through their vocations
from the past until completion, they'll turn away no more.
And still I find it so hard to say what I need to say.
I see a ship in the harbor. I can and shall obey.
But if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be a heavenly person today.
And I thought I was mistaken, and I thought I heard you speak
Tell me, how do I feel. Tell me now, how should I feel.
Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me when I walked down to the beach.
Tell me how does it feel, when your heart grows cold, grows cold, cold.
In Flunky's "Blue Monday," the lyrics capture the confusion and uncertainty that comes with being in a relationship that is falling apart. The singer questions how their partner can treat them so poorly, despite the fact that they once claimed to love them. The repeated refrain of "how do I feel" is a poignant reminder of just how lost and helpless they feel in this situation. The second group of lyrics is also noteworthy because of the stark contrast it creates between the singer's struggle and the generations that came before them. The message is clear: the struggles of the present moment are unique, but they are also part of a larger narrative of human experience.
The line "But if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be a heavenly person today" is one of the most striking in the song. It speaks to the idea that it is often the actions and decisions of others that prevent us from reaching our full potential. The imagery of a ship in harbor is also interesting because it suggests that the singer is ready to leave this situation behind and move forward with their life, but is unable to do so because of their partner's mistreatment.
Overall, "Blue Monday" is a powerful song that speaks to the pain and confusion of a failing relationship. The lyrics are both introspective and universal, making it a timeless classic.
