Still Feeling Blue
Kasey Chambers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well time can pass and time can heal
But it don't ever pass the way I feel
You went away a long time ago
And why you left I never knew
Lonely days and lonely nights
I guess the world knows I ain't feeling right
And when you're gone the hours pass so slow
And now I'm still feelin' blue

And baby since you walked out of my life
I never felt so low
Can't help but wonder why you had to go

There are so many girls but I can't say
They come and go but still I feel this way
And ever since the day you said goodbye
No one treats me like you used to do
I hope your out and happy now
And doing up the town cause you know how
Every time I hear your name I want to die
And now I'm still feeling blue, alright

And baby since you walked out of my life
I never felt so low
Can't help but wonder why you had to go

There are so many girls but I can't say
They come and go but still I feel this way
And ever since the day you said goodbye
No one treats me like you used to do
I hope your out and happy now
And doing up the town cause you know how
Every time I hear your name I want to die

And now I'm still feeling blue
And now I'm still feeling blue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kasey Chambers's song "Still Feeling Blue" poignantly articulate the lingering pain and longing that can persist long after a relationship has ended. The singer conveys a sense of resignation and frustration, reflecting on the fact that although time has passed, and though conventional wisdom suggests that time should have helped her to heal, she is still consumed by feelings of sadness and loss. The repetition of the title phrase, "still feeling blue," reinforces the depths of the singer's despair.

The verses explore the factors contributing to the singer's persistent melancholy. She reflects on the loneliness and isolation that she feels, as though the world around her is aware of her misery. She also acknowledges the difficulty she has in moving on from her lost love. While there may be other girls, none compare to her former partner, who once treated her in a way that she has not experienced from anyone else. And in what might be seen as a cruel twist, she admits that hearing the name of her old flame continues to cause her pain.

Interestingly, the song's repetitive structure and slow, melodic pace reinforce the sense of stagnancy and inability to move on expressed in the lyrics. The result is an emotionally resonant meditation on heartbreak and loss.
