Blue Sky
Hanson(핸슨) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My body's tired and broken
I want a taste of something, that doesn't leave me dry
This hope for answered questions
As rare as true conviction
I stare into the distance, there is no truth in sight
Who can tell me why
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky waiting for me
I've seen the main attraction
I've felt the moment's passion
I won't be no soap box teacher, just taking your time
Just taking your time
Who can tell me why
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky
Everywhere I go, it feels like I'm always searching for something
'Til I know for sure, I'll be right here waiting for something
More, more, for something more, for something more
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
Somewhere there's a blue sky waiting
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky waiting for me
A blue sky
In Hanson's song "Blue Sky," the singer is struggling with his own internal conflicts as he searches for meaning and purpose in his life. He feels lost and disheartened, as if he's wandering aimlessly with no direction in sight. The opening lines, "I'm blind with eyes wide open, my body's tired and broken," set the tone for the rest of the song. Despite his physical presence, he feels as though he can't truly "see" the world around him.
Throughout the song, the singer voices his search for something tangible, something he can hold onto that won't leave him feeling empty or incomplete. He mentions how rare it is to have a sense of conviction or certainty, and how he longs for that feeling of knowing where he stands. He talks about how he's seen and experienced different things in life, but he doesn't want to be a "soap box teacher," someone who tells others what to do without understanding their struggles.
The repeated phrase "Everybody's looking for a blue sky" serves as a metaphor for the search for that elusive sense of purpose and fulfillment. The singer feels as though he's not alone in his search, that everyone around him is looking for the same thing. The closing lines provide a ray of hope, as he acknowledges that somewhere out there, there's a blue sky waiting for him.
