Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In an Azure mood,
Stardust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;
By the dreams I own;
But, though Im tormented
I must be contented
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood!
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Star dust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude!

Driftin' Dreamin'
I'm aimlessly wandering and daydreaming
In an Azure mood,
I'm in a calm and peaceful state of mind, surrounded by blue
Stardust gleamin'
The stars are shining brightly
Thru my solitude:
Although I'm alone, nature is keeping me company
Here in my seclusion,
I'm alone and isolated from the outside world
You're a blue illusion
Your presence here is only a figment of my imagination
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
I'm taking a break from my worries and life's distractions
I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;
I'm feeling unwanted, and I'm completely on my own
Always haunted
My mind is constantly troubled
By the dreams I own;
I'm tormented by the aspirations and desires that I possess
But, though Im tormented
Despite my troubles
I must be contented
I need to accept my situation and find peace within it
Driftin' Dreamin'
I'm aimlessly wandering and daydreaming
In an Azure mood!
I'm in a calm and peaceful state of mind, surrounded by blue
