My Blue Hawaii
Future Bible Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the land of the volcano
Pineapples, guavas, mangos
Martin Denny playing tangos
Every little island teaches the wisdom of its unique beaches
You can find your own messiah in the pit of a papaya
my blue Hawaii, palms waving in the breeze
how I want to be with you now, dancing at an all-night luau
Cause I'm just a dancing fool-a
When I do the hula-hula
I just want to take you away
When I hear "aloha oe"
Picture us in cocktail glass shirts
Flower leis, cameras, and grass skirts
The lyrics of Future Bible Heroes' song "My Blue Hawaii" paint a vivid picture of the beauty and allure of Hawaii, as well as the singer's strong desire to escape to this paradise with a loved one. The first stanza speaks to the exotic fruits and sounds of the land, with references to pineapples, guavas, and Martin Denny's tango music. The line "Every little island teaches the wisdom of its unique beaches" suggests that each island has its own lessons to offer, perhaps in the form of natural beauty or cultural experiences.
The second stanza is focused on the singer's longing to be in Hawaii with their beloved, attending an all-night luau and enjoying the hula dance. There's a sense of joy and abandon in the lyrics, as the singer is described as a "dancing fool-a" who just wants to take their partner away to this magical place. The final line, "Picture us in cocktail glass shirts/Flower leis, cameras, and grass skirts," conjures up a whimsical vision of the two of them enjoying the tropical scenery.
Overall, "My Blue Hawaii" is a song about escapism, desire, and the power of a beautiful location to inspire and rejuvenate the spirit.
