Misty Blue
Francis Connie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looks like I get you off my mind,
Oh, but I can't,
Just the thought of you,
Turns my whole world,
A misty blue.
Just the mention of your name,
I think of things we used to do,
Then my whole world,
Turns misty blue.
[Chorus]
I should forget you,
Heaven knows I tried,
But, when I say,
"I'm glad we're through."
My heart knows I've lied.
Oh, it's been such a long, long time,
Looks like I get you off my mind,
Oh, but I can't,
Just the thought of you,
Turns my whole world,
A misty blue.
The lyrics of "Misty Blue" by Francis Connie talk about the overwhelming feeling of missing someone you used to be in a romantic relationship with. The singer seems to have tried to forget about this person, but the mere thought of them turns her world into a misty blue. The color blue is often associated with sadness, so the singer's emotional state is clearly affected by memories of this person.
The mere mention of the person's name turns the singer's emotions into a flame, and she starts to remember all the things they used to do together. The chorus shows the conflicting emotions the singer experiences, as she tries to convince herself that she's glad the relationship is over, but her heart knows that she's lying. The song's general theme is about the difficulties of moving on from a past relationship, as much as one tries to.

Oh, it's been such a long, long time,
It has been an extended period since we were last together.
Looks like I get you off my mind,
It seems that I have moved on and no longer think of you.
Oh, but I can't,
However, I cannot help myself from thinking of you.
Just the thought of you,
Just the mere idea of you brings up memories and emotions.
Turns my whole world,
It changes my entire perspective on things.
A misty blue.
I feel a sense of sadness and longing, represented by the color blue.
Just the mention of your name,
When someone brings up your name in conversation,
Turns the flicker to a flame,
It ignites my feelings for you, making them stronger.
I think of things we used to do,
I reminisce about the past and the experiences that we had together.
Then my whole world,
These thoughts change my whole view of the world around me.
Turns misty blue.
I feel a sense of sadness and longing, represented by the color blue.
I should forget you,
I know that I should move on and forget about you.
Heaven knows I tried,
I have made a genuine effort to do so.
But, when I say,
However, when I claim that I have moved on,
"I'm glad we're through."
I am lying to myself and to others, as deep down inside, I am not really happy about it.
My heart knows I've lied.
My true feelings and emotions contradict what I am saying, and I cannot hide them from myself.
